on time. He was very respectful in my house and promptly cleaned up the mess. He also conducted a quick inspection of my dishwasher after i advised him of some issues I was having. I really appreciated his advice and the time he took to show me how to use some of the features i didn't know how to use. I will definitely be booking KJ Burns again.
MSC Maintenance Sydney City
- See all
We initially contacted MSC Electricians for an emergency electrical call-out and engaged them to carry out extensive electrical work at our property.… Read more
We paid a significant amount, believing the work had been completed safely, professionally and in accordance with Australian electrical standards and code. Approximately three years later, another electrical fault occurred. A different licensed electrician inspected the installation and advised that the previous work had not been completed correctly or in compliance with the required electrical standards. The old cotton-insulated wiring had been left in place and connected to the new switchboard wiring instead of being properly replaced or rectified. This resulted in sparking and created a serious electrical safety hazard for the tenants living in the property. The quote from the new electrician is approximately the same as the amount we originally paid to MSC Electricians. The entire switchboard now needs to be replaced, along with all wiring from the mains supply to the switchboard, to ensure the electrical installation is safe and compliant. While I am extremely disappointed that this work has had to be redone at considerable expense, I am relieved knowing that the tenants will finally be safe from any further electrical hazards once the replacement work is completed. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend MSC Electricians. Rate of experience is negative infinity. The work was very expensive, yet it has now required substantial rectification. Safety should never be compromised, particularly when it places tenants and property at risk.
Pride in his work – Michael is the guy I dealt with. He is extremely busy and hence it was difficult to get him. However working with him was a pleasure. He gave me a… Read more
competitive quote. Conducted his work very well. While doing the job he gave suggestions and was open to suggestions. He takes pride in his work. He cleaned up and did not leave a mess. Bottom line: He would be my choice for the next job. Keep it up.
Having decided to renovate our new home in Colac, we found our electrics were dodgy (60 yo old house) .our required work was split so we could budget… Read more
accordingly, work was spread over 4 weeks, as our home electrics were in need of repair and ongoing work with new overhead fans and and power points, each step was explained before hand so we didn't have bill shock..work was of a very high standard as we're his ethical attitude to business ..100% recommend in and around colac. Two huskies is in early stages of working for himself so we were impressed.
Excellent quick quote and a rapid booking. Jake and Omar came on time 7.30 am as arranged. Called to make sure we were ready. Changed lights,… Read more
updated smoke detectors. Very efficient. No fuss and made sure it was all working and at the end cleaned up. No fuss professional service. We got exactly what was quoted and we expected.
Spruce Electrical
Spruce Electrical Pty Ltd for replacement of gas appliances with electric appliances – QUOTE: "Rental providers must have a gas safety check once every two years of all gas installations and fittings. This work must be carried out by a… Read more
gasfitter with Type A gas appliance servicing qualifications. For a full list of what the gas safety check covers, see the Consumer Affairs Victoria (CAV) website." UNQUOTE
On the 1st March 2023 I was advised that two investment properties that I own received fault notices following their recent Bi-Annual Gas Safety Check. In the past Gas appliances were mainly tested for Carbon Monoxide (CO) emissions. The gas Safety Check now includes negative pressure test that uses a portable smoke generator to observe if any smoke is drawn into the gas appliance.
Not all plumbers registered/licensed to install gas appliances are also licensed to perform Gas Safety Checks. These Bi-Annual Gas Safety Checks are important and only apply to rental properties (as do the Annual Smoke Detector Checks). The two fault notices one because of a cracked Braemar (less than 10 years old) Wall Furnace and the second Braemar (20 years cold) wall furnace because of a negative pressure test result. The quote to replace these two units will cost me in excess of $7000.00 as it is not viable to repair either Braemar Wall Furnace.
Any Gas appliance that receives a negative pressure test result or other defect such as cracked heat exchanger is immediately decommissioned (gas turned off). In additional, a 30 day notice/demand to replace the gas appliance or remove it completely and have the gas capped (permanently disconnected).
I contacted Spruce Electrical Pty Ltd to organise the removal the Wall furnaces and replace with a Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Split air conditioning system that in the short term and in the long run will be more cost effective.
My gas upright cooker was also faulted (poor oven door seal and gas top burners deemed unserviceable) so I have booked Spruce Electrical Pty Ltd to replace the gas cooker with an electric upright cooker. Total cost to disconnect, cap the gas, remove old cooker and, supply a Chef Fan Forced electric upright cooker, install the cooker, wire new circuit to switchboard and test new stove is $1,700.00 Once again, I highly recommend Spruce Electrical Pty Ltd for all Electrical installations (new installation or replacement of air conditioners and replacement of gas stoves with an electric stove). Spruce Electrical Pty Ltd work hand in hand with an excellent, professional and, competitive licensed plumber. All aspects of the conversion from gas to Electricity are professionally organised by Spruce Electrical Pty Ltd at a very timely and competitive rate.

HAPPY WITH THE WORK – Barlow Electricians installed a ceiling fan for me in the bedroom. At first there was a problem as there had been an extra storey added to the house,… Read more
and there was no roof space to install the wires for a wall mounted control. They rectified the problem by converting my fan to a remote control unit (they carry these remote control units for such problems). The control was extra, but no more than you'd pay at Bunnings or wherever. Installation only took an hour, including replacing a light switch in the laundry. Overall, quite happy with the completed work, service and reasonable cost.
15 dowlights lights replaced plus outdoor lights. Neat and tidy work with care taken around all furnishings. Most importantly work was done promptly and at a competitive and reasonable rate.
Andrew Belsak Electrical & Air Conditioning
Great service – Andrew & Vickie Belsak installed 2 Mitsubishi split systems in our house in June 2022 and we've been extremely happy with their performance. Today… Read more
31st October 2023 they serviced our evaporative air conditioner. In both instances Andrew was very quick to respond to our needs (very different to other tradespeople we've used), gave us a quote which we thought was reasonable, and the work was done on the day specified. Both Andrew & Vickie were very pleasant and obliging and we would not hesitate in recommending them to others.
Beyond the call – CONTACTED HI PAGES for electrician and had three responses. Blackout electrics were local and responded straight away setup time and Daniel sent quote that was reasonable we were replacing all light switches and upgrading to Solar.
1/ the quality of his work is outstanding. I've used some other electricians in the past and they don't come up to the same standard. 2/ he was… Read more
booked in for a certain time but couldn't make it. Yul gave me an SMS update that he was unavoidably delayed and would be at my house in 30 minutes. He arrived 29 minutes later.
3/ not always the cheapest BUT you get AMAZING service and quality components with EVERY job.

Highly recommended, very satisfied with the job. Thank you Hamza
Level Electrical
Required a technician to verify if a stove in a rental property required replacing or can it be fixed cheaper, noticed this company offered a no call… Read more
out fee offer, what i didn't know was how they would take advantage by charging 1 and a quarter hours to do the diagnosis, (having told him it's been looked at before and is more than likely gone) at $160 per hour to bring it neatly to $200 plus GST $20 and then 2 days to hear anything to bring the problem up to Friday afternoon and the tenant having no stove for the weekend and me scrambling to get one there and fitted ASAP. I checked with multiple sources regarding the validity of the time spent and most agreed 15 miutes at least to up to 45 minutes if all the wiring needed looking at, contacting Fair services was of no help as it take about 11 weeks to have the case heard by an adjudicator so they are of little help. Needless to say this is one firm that can not bet relied on or trusted, and i would have been happy had he just fixed the issue and sent the bill rather than have the double dipping happening. would rather have not had to take this action.
Think twice before using these guys – Good Guys gave me a good price on an electric oven and what I thought was a good price on the install. HOWEVER, their electrician (MIG Electrical)… Read more
wanted extra saying he had to change the electrical board and run a new cable (4 Metres long). I understand the need for the new cable and RCD, but "extra" cost of $780 for this work, considering they never actually changed the electrical board, I find extreme, since I had already paid $344 to the Good Guys for the install. This means that to fit a wall oven and remove the old one MIG Electrical got a total of $1124 for the install! All up around 1 hours work and $70 for parts if that.
Seems like a rip off with the Good Guys taking money for the install and then their electrician MIG Electrical upping the charge with the customer!
Outstanding at overcharging – The job required the switching over of several power points, light switches and light fittings, and the installation of one new power point. Turned… Read more
up for four hours on the first day and changed over most of the points & switches, cut a hole for the new power point and removed the light fittings (to allow for the ceiling to be painted). Was on site for 3.5 hours, but left for 15 minutes each hour to feed a parking meter. Didn't return to complete the job, disappearing for over a month - leaving 5 light fittings hanging from the ceiling (got another sparky to come and install the new fittings and finish the power point installation). Finally made contact to come and finish the installation of two power points that needed to be ordered in - yet were freely available from several wholesalers as the internet proved. When the invoice arrived the charges included 4.5 hours of labour - plus parking fees that had never been discussed or agreed to (no discount for the 45+ minutes where there was no labour). Each of the points & switches had also been marked up by a minimum of 100%, based on a quick internet search of retail price points. There are better sparky's out there that don't have money grabbing approach this one does.
We engaged a custom builder to build our dream home in Forster NSW. We expected all trade/sub contractor aspects of the build to be completed to the… Read more
exacting standards of our builder; and even more so as this would be a custom build that cost us accordingly.
Unfortunately that was not the case when it came to the electrical side of things.
Key points that we experienced : - upon 2 or so walk throughs with the electrician he did not take notes etc re my instructions regarding changes etc - my builder advised that the electrician does not provide a finalised plan. We did receive a hand scribbled plan after I insisted. However, I did not scrutinise it and unfortunately that was to our detriment. - when it comes to lighting, more is better. I stuck to my guns with some areas but regretably heeded the advice from our so called expert eg, in our oversized garage, which I now regret. - two way light switches did not eventuate. Whilst one has been retro fitted another is not possible. - light switch installed in the most inconvenient position with no prior consultation with us. (Retrofit was gratefully offered by our builder however did not resolve the situation.) - the only real advice I received involved saving some money by installing less premium switches in the garage and installing less lights. I would have preferred some actual constructive advice suggesting more lights be installed along the 22 steps of our sloping side passage. - instead of installing more light on our sloping side passage (access to rear yard) as stipulated our dead end side passage had more lights installed. - the electrician rang me one day and explained he was installing a bar light same as ours and asked me to measure it for him rather than he find out via other means. Really. - my overall impression was the the electrician was more focussed on personal matters and did not give our project the attention it required resulting in a less than satisfactory outcome for our build.
They are back today to rectify a missed two way switch which I am grateful for.
These may be considered minor issues arising by my lack of diligence by many but we specifically engaged a custom builder at considerable cost and have been let down by a less than diligent electrician.
Whilst we would engage our builder (SCF Custom Builders) ten times over, it would be on the proviso that W and J Green was NOT the electrician engaged.

contract. Nothing. Then From day one they call to ask you to pay it out. I refused. Then a few months later they called again. They try to tell you how much you’ll save by paying it out. Which I questioned as my maths didn’t seem to add up to what I was being told. Told me to send some bills and he’d put a graph together about how much better off we’d be. A week later he called. No presentation as promised. Just said it’s easy maths, you can do it yourself. I then Asked about batteries. I told him my price range for weekly repayments. Told he could get the price in that range. Then the contract comes through. Double what we discussed. I refused. I then question the crap Solax app that was showing the wrong information. They blame it on the app. The Solax guys said it’s an issue with the wiring. Solarpay have done nothing about it. Said they had it corrected. But I have the same issue. They just ignore my questions about the wiring. Even though Solax send an email with everything a tech needs to troubleshoot. I also questioned if my solar was working right. As the bills seem very high. Just told I’m wrong. Just told how lucky I am that I have solar or bills would be higher. Even though we have the issue with the faulty readings in the app. I called to ask for a manager to complain. Told he had left for the day. Haven’t heard back. Don’t bother using them.
Replaced Dimming led lights are not dimming !!! – The company replaced Led dimming lights at my investment property. However when I inspected apartment I found out that they were not dimming from day… Read more
one since they have been replaced. I contacted the electrician to fix the problem, however I have been told that it will cost me extra for them to go back to fix it. The lights hat supposed to dimm are not dimming, due to instsllining maybe faulty cheap SAL products OR not following the compliance, which prevents me from saving on electricity bills now. If you want to get quality service you paid for then I would recommend using another company. I would not recommend Lume Electrical +Communication having a bad experience with them myself.

cover and found a large rough hole in the wall.
I emailed [Name Removed], he told me that this is their usual work and that he was happy with it. After some emailing he said he would fill the hole with foam and seal it. This is not a standard outlined by QBCC, this creates another set of problems.
