Referring by Meriton Property Manager ( the rude one) [Name Removed] of this ridiculous electrical company! Overcharged us for $605 just to change a LED light from bathroom. Which I found out the same job from another company by a Chinese guy only cost $150 ! So ridiculous and bad service, avoid this company

So quick to take your money and then let you down. My family and I have had no power since the weekend, called to book a service within 24hrs. I asked them if I could pay when the technician arrived but they said it was necessary to secure the appointment and it would be VERY unlikely they they wouldn’t arrive. Needless to say the never rocked up,… Read more

didn’t bother to rebook me and when I called, they could only secure me for service within another 24hrs. Still waiting for a refund. Terrible terrible service, stay away

Do NOT Use This Service - It's a Rip Off! – I was looking to book an electrician to replace a hard wired smoke alarm. I was not in a rush, but the web site state 'same rates at all hours' and the telephone booking service said they could attend within a couple of hours. The fee was $140 + card fees for someone to come, provide a fixed quote and do the work. I got nervous when they played a… Read more

recorded contract but proceeded anyway. I should have listened to my gut. As soon as the money was transacted I was informed that their own vans were all out on jobs but that their partner service Metropolitan would come out instead.

They did, and within the specified time, OK so far..... the very young sparky made a show of checking out my circuit box and then gave me a quote for $949!!! I confirmed that the wiring was already in place and all he had to do was install a new alarm but he assured me that was the price. Needless to say I did not proceed with Metropolitan but I was out of pocket for $140 + to "Electrician Near Me' for setting up a job on their behalf!!

In the end I got the job done, quickly, cleanly and professionally by a local company for $264 incl GST!!

Avoid this company!! – These guys seem professional with a nice website and are really quick to call you back. Seemed good and cheap call out fee of $141.90. Everything seemed well until the electrician rocked up… went through the problem for about 10mins and told me it was the safety switch. Only to tell me it would be $1249.00 to replace. I think I laughed in his… Read more

face. Told him to please get out of my house as there is no way I was paying that. Called another electrician and did the job for $240. Please avoid using these guys. Dodgy is not the word. It’s robbery what they are doing. If I could give them a 0 star I would!!

Jim mowing in disguise! They let you down!!! – Stay clear. Another dodgy Jim’s mowing service in disguise! They booked my job Thursday AND took my what was supposed to be $114 but charged $149(on the spot just to look) One and half hours from them supposedly being there, I get a call saying they need to cancel after paying our supervisor 3 hours extra to wait(we had completed our job the… Read more

prior day) then saying Sunday is the only day. So basically saying pay my supervisor to wait around again. Disappointed, disgusted this is a Jim’s service, anything Jim’s is worth staying clear of in my opinion. And this is proof of it! Definitely do NOT recommend. Now I’m waiting patiently for my refund after wasting my time to begin with & being $300 out of pocket for out supervisors expense!

Reasonable price to turn up - ridiculous quote to do anything – Have to prepay for someone to turn up ok. Electrician turns up takes a look and then quotes $1149 to do up to an hour of “fact finding..” not fix the issue. Not reasonable way to charge - would not recommend

Extortionate price and no customer care – I had to call an Emergency electrician on a Christmas day for loss of power to my home and Electrician Near Me came up on Google. The website seemed promising. There was an non refundable quote fee of $141.90 and I was told at 6.10pm an electrician would arrive between 7pm and 10pm. The electrician knocked the door at 10pm after waiting outside on… Read more

the street since 9.49pm. I explained the issue and they took a look at the circuit board, they did nothing else. They said they would do a 1 hour fault finding inspection for $1,149 with no guarantee of finding the fault. We said no thanks. The electrician appeared dishonest and not trustworthy. I would not recommend anyone contacting this company, even for an emergency. I was so disappointed with the experience, they just seem to prey on the unfortunate.

Professional Service at an Exorbitant Price – We lost power to all 3 of our strata units due to a fault in our main fuse box. I telephoned Electrician Near Us after it popped up on Google. They were very professional and explained that they could send an electrician out between 10.30pm and 1.30 am (this was about 7pm on a Saturday night) but we would need to pay over the phone a… Read more

non-refundable inspection and quote fee of $141.90. He said that in most cases they could repair the fault on the spot if the quoted price was accepted. Incidentally, they advertised that they charge the same rate at all hours but in actual fact it is always a quoted total price rather than labour and parts.

An Electrician from Metropolitan Plumbing & Electrical arrived at 10.30pm. He advised that he did not carry the parts required and wasn't sure if he would be able to get a price for the parts on the Sunday but would arrange a quote as soon as possible. I was expecting a phone call but as it turned out, 4 emails arrived late on Saturday night from Electrician Near Me (receipt) and Gas & Plumbing Australia which included a quote from Metropolitan for $4,259 and no indication of when the work could be carried out. I don't know if the three businesses involved are connected but it seems that they all get a bite of the cherry.

On the Monday morning, we contacted another electrical company, ESS (Essential Service Solutions) who completed the work by late the same afternoon for a total cost of $953.90. We were very happy with their prompt service and especially the price!
