It depends on what's being installed, how many items you're having done, and the condition of your existing wiring and switchboard. Use the estimator above to get a realistic ballpark for your job, then request a free quote and we'll give you a fixed price after looking at it properly.
Yes. Like most licensed electricians in Melbourne, we work to a minimum call-out. Even a ten-minute job involves travel, testing and issuing a Certificate of Electrical Safety. If you've got a few small jobs, save them up and have them done in one visit — you'll get much better value.
Because we're already on site. The travel, setup, testing and certification happen once whether we install one downlight or twenty. Those fixed costs get spread across the job, so the price per item genuinely falls as the quantity rises. It's worth batching up work.
Several things: whether your switchboard has capacity for new circuits, how easy it is to run cable (roof space, wall access, single vs double storey), the age and condition of your existing wiring, whether the walls are open, and whether you're on single or three-phase power. Older Melbourne homes often turn up surprises.
Yes. All electrical work in Victoria must be carried out by a licensed electrician, and you should receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety when the job is done. Litmec Electrical is a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC-10383) and has been trading since 1985.
No. Quotes are free and there's no obligation. The estimator gives you a ballpark so you know roughly what to expect, but a proper quote means coming out, looking at your switchboard and access, and giving you a fixed number you can rely on.
Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed in a day, though the power will be off for part of it. If the mains or main earth need replacing as well, or if there's asbestos involved, it can take longer. We'll tell you exactly what's involved when we quote.
Yes, absolutely. Plenty of customers buy their own light fittings, pendants or ceiling fans and just need a licensed electrician to install them properly. Just note that in the estimator so we know what's being supplied by you.
Safety switches are a requirement on new circuits in Victoria and are strongly recommended throughout. They cut the power in a fraction of a second if there's a fault, and they're the single most effective protection against electric shock. If your board doesn't have them, it's worth addressing.
