elderly parents in elizabeth SA, had a slight drip from shower taps, me and sister previously installed new shower head about 4 week ago, but said… Read more

its not why its leaking its the tap washer ,,, it wasnt even a leak more a slight drip but she insisted she wanted it fixed, next thing in know they had the magnets in the mail, so called for same day plumber ,,,whom claimed they couldnt even come same day as advertised, then once there, claimed they have to inspect every pipe, and found some corrosion under vanity sink taps took photo showed mum how it looked and said that could burst any time now,,,, then for some reason changed her outside garden taps, changed shower taps and fixed leak ,also said they have to replace shower head, she goes its new, he said well theyre crap , and went to bunnings to buy her a new one but bought the exact $20 head to replace one which was new to start with,,,,, he has replaced shower taps didnt replace kitchen as they were same as he was going to install then he dug up part of garden near meter claiming they need to test water pressure and that if it was over 500 psi then it can be claimed on insurance, and he had apparently turned down, but now mum said the water pressure is way higher, they showed 3 quotes, $3000 for one set of pipes for vanity, $4000 and a $6000 quote, for all undersink pipes, making it sound urgent, they agreed on the lower quote, and unfortunatly signed it but then dad goes hold on i think we will wait and speak to my daughters, next thing guy goes nah ill just do it now, and run off and took 10 mins to change isolation pipes under vanity, wtf,, he come to house two days, charged $2000 for what ever he did first day and then just over $1000 on next day, weirdly, when paying using credit card details they went thru 3 cards details before it would go thru. not sure if thats a banking limit thing or not. but now concerned he has 3 lots of their bank cards details. so yes they got the extra work done but it was unnecessary and seems to be an inflated price for said repairs,,, and seems they wont give invoice out,,,, Also they dont seem to want to give a reciept or itemised invoice, and when mum spoke to them on phone requesting one and telling them off foe being ripped off he just said he will send tomorrow,

then mum rings back to say bill was in hubby name not hers but the guy acted as tho he hadnt spoken to her before he was very unprofessional on the phone, claiming he had no recollection of any phone calls that day and she had just spoken to Jake both times,,,, i think he is messing with her to make her look stupid When i googled that they may have been scammed google mentioned oh yes those companies are known for upselling taps and things to the elderly,, this is exaclty what they have done, zero stars never ever use them

Responding to a letter drop under the name "Knox local tradies" We had a faulty light over steep stairs we used at night. The letter drop claimed… Read more

"Get safe wiring today" We rang on Tuesday and the tradesman arrived on Thursday. Gave us a quote then claimed could not replace the switch then, but would come back on Monday (Thursday before long weekend). We pointed out the steps were dangerous, but "best he could do". We paid deposit. We then had notification from GHS Plumbing and Electrical that the job could not be done till week after next. I insisted the job be done on Monday or my deposit back. They claimed a cancellation, and did the job on Monday. Their letter drop claimed a 15% discount for seniors. When I asked about the discount, it was claimed to have been automatically included in the quote, although the quote did not reflect this. It was added as a note on the invoice, after my query, althouth it was not reflected in the price. As to the job. The tradesman who did the job was competent and politite. The job took less than 30 minutes. I will not use them again.

Nik arrived on time, provided a quote, we accepted, returned 20 minutes later, did the job and cleaned up in less than an hour. All good.

I got passed onto David Farrugia for Electrical Enquiry . As some electricians offer free elcecteical checks and it does say on Jim’s site free… Read more

electrical quote

I simply asked David Farrugia a simple question kindly and nicely. I asked- If he provides free electrical check for a property like other electricians may

David Farrugia was very rude and answered aggressively saying “ no who does that I don’t are you serious “ .

Terrible customer service annd very very unprofessional

I said nicely “ that’s okay and how much do you charge “

He again answered very rudely and abrupt he refused to answer he said - “ No I don’t feel like answering your question I’m not going to do any work for you “

Very very very upsetting and very unprofessional, poor customer service

He then hung up on my face

Terrible person terrible customer service , doesn’t look good on your books isn’t good for your business this man

Expert Electrical at Brendale made our whole Solar and battery installation experience a breeze. They were extremely professional and great with communication. Great value for workmanship and I highly recommend them.

Had a problem with my Vulcan Hot Water tank.Zac from inline plumbing attended early on Tuesday 4th August. Told me the Hot Water Tank needed… Read more

replacing. Received a reply the same day approving replacement Tank. Had to pay for labour as per Warranty. Congratulations Zac for getting things moving so quickly. You are a credit to Inline plumbing. Well done mate. New Tank being installed within 24 hours.

Excellent service recommendation very professional thank you so much will use Darebin trade service's again and also tell others regarding there work and honesty

Ryan was very professional and knowledgeable. Rectified issue including calling SA power networks to have us re connected with very minimal inconvenience to us.

Replaced old spilt system, great communication from initial enquiry, site visit through to install, quick to respond, fantastic install team, everything was smooth sailing. Would highly recommend a quote from them, the service received is worth it.

I had 2 plumbers out to remove my old vanity and sink and install a new one. They were on time friendly and completed the job competently. Did all… Read more

the plumbing work involved with removal of old one and installation of new one, without any problems. Cleaned up after and happy with their service

My experience with Hilton Tradies (Hilton Appliance Repairs) was mixed. The technicians who attended and installed the replacement part were… Read more

fantastic—professional, helpful and a credit to the business.

Unfortunately, the replacement part took several months to arrive despite the original estimate being much shorter. Customer service was average. During some conversations, I felt there was an initial assumption that I was mistaken before the details had been properly reviewed. The tone used by staff could also be improved, particularly when discussing invoices or resolving a disagreement.

To their credit, the business ultimately waived the final invoice because of the delay. Better communication, a more open approach to customer concerns, and greater care with tone would have made the overall experience much more positive.

Ben was thorough and did a great job! – He removed existing circuit breaker and upgraded the wiring to suit new safety circuit breaker combo in enclosure.He also replaced existing 10Amp single / double GPO. He carried out a thorough investigation .

Cory did smoke alarms at my house. Would highly recommend.

I can’t recommend The Local Electrician highly enough. A huge thank you to Harry and Isaac, who installed our custom neon sign today. They took the… Read more

time to understand exactly what I was hoping to achieve and went above and beyond to deliver a clean, seamless installation.

One of my biggest concerns was keeping the wiring and transformer hidden to maintain a minimalist aesthetic. Harry and Isaac found a solution by concealing the transformer within the wall cavity, and the end result exceeded my expectations. Their attention to detail and pride in their workmanship were evident throughout the entire job.

Thank you, Harry and Isaac, for your outstanding work. It’s rare to come across tradespeople who care as much about the final result as their customers do. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Local Electrician to anyone looking for quality workmanship and exceptional service.

I have since July- Sept made 5-6 service calls to the Dynamic Tradies a great company one you will need one day. Best people who give their best in… Read more

customer service, best quality work an ethics.

1st Lachie small plumbing job that I started and went a bit pear shape. 2nd Quote by Lucas for gas installation in my kitchen. 3.rd Harrison new install of gas line & HOB. 4th Tyler changed the gas line on the outside wall & found I had accidently turn off the power switch called HOB which allows the ignite to work on the gas cooktop. 5th Jamie changed gas cooktop (also called HOB). 6th Lachie free plumping Inspect showed 3 issues: 1. under the sink, a faulty SS flexible hose, 2. high-pressure jet blasting in grease trap & drain and finally had to 3. replace an incorrectly laid water pipe in the front yard. Counting No7- My next adventure I have booked Dynanic Tradies for a free BushFire Protection plan for my property. Special thanks to all. Jenny, Jamie, Brett, Lachie, Lucas, Harrison, Tyler and their helpers

Very happy with the service provided by Innovate Energy. Kane was great throughout the quoting process and the installation of our Fox ESS battery was completed ahead of schedule by Sam. Would definitely recommend.

I called Captain Cook Electrical for a quote, Sean came out straight away, quoted on the spot, sourced the products and completed the job that… Read more

afternoon. I found Sean to be friendly, knowledgeable, professional and very importantly, left the work areas clean when he finished the job. I have no hesitation in recommending him for your electrical work.

Charged for no work completed – “Service Heroes Electrical” charged me for a job that was simply not possible to complete. Was looking for an updated electrical Submeter to be… Read more

installed on the side of my house and explained in detail to the telephone receptionist the circumstances of my request and asked if there would be a call-out fee. Was assured this would only be charged if the work could be undertaken and I decided not to go ahead with it. When the polite electrician arrived, he did a quick review and ascertained my request was not possible — he was kind enough to try and get me out of having to pay the call-out fee (which was the fault of the telephone receptionist); but this was not possible and he was sent back to get money for a job that was not possible. Do not book-in unless you explain in assertive detail exactly what you want, and you have absolute clarity and assurances that they won’t charge you fees unless the quote you request is *actually* possible to achieve. They will throw all sorts of excuses at you; hurl them right back until you get a written assurance via e-mail that they will not charge you unless the quote is possible, achievable, and reasonable. Clearly they make money out of ripping people off like this.

I recently had my annual home safety check performed, with one technician inspecting the gas systems and another handling the electrical , I was… Read more

genuinely impressed by their service. Both professionals arrived exactly on time, which is always a relief for a scheduled appointment.

Throughout their work, they demonstrated professionalism, advising where they need access to and what they will be doing.

Most notably, they were exceptionally clean, left no mess or debris behind, and treated my home with genuine care. It’s clear they take pride in doing a job well done, and I felt completely confident in the thoroughness of their inspection.

For anyone needing reliable, professional technicians for home utility checks, I highly recommend Checkhero Team, they earned my trust and a five-star review.

Patel Electrical installed solar system at our home, and the entire experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation… Read more

to the final handover, Rajesh Patel was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient.

The process was clearly explained upfront, and they took the time to understand our usage pattern and energy needs. The installation team arrived on time, worked meticulously, and ensured everything was completed to the highest standard. They left the site spotless.They also catered to our requests for additional services for our newly built home.

They kept us updated throughout the entire process, handled all the paperwork, and even helped us set up the monitoring app so we can track our energy production in real time.

I highly recommend Patel Electrical to anyone considering solar – reliable, trustworthy, and truly dedicated to delivering quality work.

A five-star experience from start to finish !!!

were called out on 1st july we wanted quote for plumbing and electrical jobs and they scoured the house for other jobs needing doing (which we didnt… Read more

ask for) and quoted us $350 e and $260 p as they were in a hurry they pressured us to sign (being elderly pensioners) were very vulnerable.. rang up 7th July to cancel being told that the whole deposit was non refundable.. we didnt mind a callout fee but $600 too much. Would not recommend to anyone but warn people to be very careful of them

Very professional, outstanding service! Have used for several years and very happy!

I Had evaporative covers installed ,prompt service & installation, great job

Phillip and shaun reline installation to prepare and clean the pipe

Shame on you [Name Removed], you seemed nice but you are complicit in this scam as you knowingly ripped my mum off ($4500 to repair a leaking pipe)… Read more

and you're stooping so low by working for Upside Down and Mr Emergency and the rip off that they are. Be warned everyone. Google Mr Emergency Plumbing, Metropolitan Plumbing and Upside Down before you call them. Read 100s of scathing reviews and watch A Current Affair about the owner's disgraceful history of over charging and probably worse. How can you work for this guy [Name Removed]? I hope you've gone down along with Mr Emergency which is now in administration.

I got the 25kwh battery with inverter and am pretty happy with the outcome and price! Do temper your expectations in terms of customer service they… Read more

get the job done but I asked for a budget option and seemingly this is what I got. I wasn’t reminded to have spare roof tiles for example. Not a problem in the end but I was left fixing it due to this fact. The workmen would have happily fixed it. Not a horror story, id done my homework in the past and knew what to expect, i too forgot that I would probably need them. I didn't remember either. We've had a good few days of rain now, and no issues with my roof. Other things to expect ... some teething in connections... ive had a few days where the app tells me to expect an electricity bill as I imported some. Hopefully this comes out in the wash. I’ve not had a bill since the installation and lastly... we are a family with heavy nappy usage... the amount of packaging with the system was unreal. Ill have to call the council for this one! But seriously those are my only issues i had and they really tried to help me while keeping their own cost down. So thank you Epic Power. Yes, Ill try and earn a referral with the quotes you gave me

Avoid Watts Up Solar and Electrical at all costs. Our experience was nothing short of a nightmare. From the beginning, communication was poor,… Read more

deadlines were missed, and we were constantly chasing updates with little to no response. What was promised during the sales process was very different from what was actually delivered.

The level of professionalism was extremely disappointing. Issues that should have been resolved quickly were ignored or dragged out, leaving us frustrated and out of pocket. Rather than taking responsibility and providing solutions, it felt like we were being brushed aside once the contract was signed.

The workmanship and customer service fell well below an acceptable standard. We expected honesty, reliability, and support for a major investment, but instead experienced delays, excuses, and a complete lack of accountability.

Looking back, choosing Watts Up Solar and Electrical was a costly mistake. We would never use them again and strongly caution anyone considering their services to do extensive research before signing anything. There are far better companies out there that actually value their customers and stand behind their work.

I want to thank Jack from Jetset Electrical for the great job he did installing my smoke detector and surge protector on power switchboard. Michaela… Read more

also was lovely gaining experience on the other side of the business from her being in the office structure.

I have dealt with Jetset Plumbing and Electrical and cannot fault the expertise of the company and the people that work for it.

Thank you for the great gift of the knife set which was so unexpected and certainly going to be very useful.

Susan Bugeia

Very happy with the service & the cost. He was very polite & professional.

I had a 250L heat pump installed today. The service was amazing from start to finish. Would highly recommend.
