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 had a disappointing experience with Check Hero Inspection. Firstly, the timing of the visit should be communicated much more precisely. It’s… Read more

important for customers to know exactly when the team will arrive, rather than being left uncertain.

Secondly, all required checks should be completed in a single visit. Multiple visits for the same inspection are inconvenient and disruptive.

Lastly, I would expect better basic etiquette from the team. If shoes are left outside at the door, it’s a clear indication that footwear should be removed before entering. This is especially important as there are children in the house who crawl and move around on the floor, making hygiene a serious concern.

Overall, there is significant room for improvement in communication, efficiency, and professionalism.

Very customer focussed team, great quality work from Louis and Nick. Kept me informed all the way through the job which was a mix of repairs and new services in a solid wall appartment. Will definitely use again.

the some of the other solar installers and also unfair pricing. But, with Ozora, they were friendly and super professional from the get go and I had solar installed, my old meter board replaced in 3 weeks time.

I am glad that we chose them for the job. They're your go to if you want your peace of mind and get the experts to do it. You'll be in good hands.

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.

A complete and utter rip-off. I also called them three times to receive an invoice with more details as our strata manager required and they did not return my calls. I would not recommend them to anyone.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

website is misleading, the invoice issued charged an amount significantly more than I was led to believe, and the sales staff promise to provide work but do not instruct their staff to perform that work. And just to rub salt in open wounds, instead of apologising for these problems the sales staff patronisingly have a go at you for "raising your voice", when they should be grateful that you haven't lodged a complaint for misleading and deceptive conduct or refused to pay the bill. The generous way of describing the problem is that the sales staff do not seem to communicate effectively with the office staff or the tradesmen, consequently the customer gets stuffed around. However, I'm beginning to suspect that all these people care about is making money, at the expense of providing good customer service. If they quote you a price, don't believe it until you've seen it in writing, checked their list of work to be done, and then double checked by ringing the office and asking whether the work you actually need done is included in the price. They will tell you your board needs replacing when nothing is wrong with it. They'll charge you $300 for five minutes work. They'll tell you that their going to fix a problem but won't do the work for the price quoted. They'll tell you they are coming on Thursday but will turn up first thing Wednesday morning. And don't believe that "no callout fee" nonsense, expect to pay at least $300. $1300 later and I've nothing to show for it except a very stressful morning. And I'm still waiting for an apology.

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.

the weight of the appliance on the trolley and instead of lowering it slowly to the ground just let it drop then proceeded to drag it across the concrete, he barely got past my car and instead of getting help with it he had his assistant start the removal of my old appliance, he roughly dragged it up the step and through the front door and was carelessly bumping into furniture and I had to tell him to be careful, there was no apology or communication and no eye contact, no friendly smile just get it done and get out, I provided a plastic container to catch any water when disconnecting the old appliance but this wasn't even used and I had to provide a towel to mop up all the water, disgusting service (or lack of) I would not recommend this business to anyone!!!

Reliable Service with the website https://philipreliableservice.com. The owner is going by the name [Name Removed] and his ABN is 32 550 455 265. His company is based at 24 Stratton St Newstead, Queensland, but he contracts cleaners nationwide.

We were based in Perth and Emmanuel said that had staff nationwide. He assured us that his staff would do a professional job and are well experienced in end of lease cleans. We hired Reliable Cleaning Service (or Philip Reliable Service, as he is now being called) for an end of lease clean. But nothing was done and things in the apartment were damaged after his cleaner left! [Name Removed] ignored our emails and requests for a refund and damage repairs.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS! THIS MAN SHOULD BE IN JAIL!!!!
