Service Experts Electricians
Verified10 reviews
While the service was efficient, my quote was overpriced. I was concerned when the electrician was suggesting I need further electrical repairs. All I wanted was 3 straightforward jobs such as replacing fire alarms. I also felt compelled to go with the overpriced quote. Not happy about the membership deal as well. Sales tactics for electrical work are unnecessary.
Called Service Experts for a quote to replace 3 powerpoints in kitchen. The quote was $1042 (regular rate) or $948 (member rate). Became really concerned when they found other items that needed addressing. They said they would have an electrian around between 9 -12. Received a phone call saying running late, will be 4.30. Managed to negotiate 1.30… Read more
Made other enquiries and had the same job (powerpoints) done for $280. Not able to download quote after 3 attempts.
Zero customer service or accountability. I called yesterday morning for an electrician, being the junk mail they put in your mailbox says same day service. I was told no one could come out that day, I asked why advertise Same Day Service, but happily accommodated appointment the following morning between 9am and 12pm. I was then contact via text… Read more
to say they could know longer commit to the appointment that has been confirmed and needed to do a different time which did not suit me. I explained I had already accommodated the inconvenience of waiting the entire day with no hot water electricity and wanted to keep the original appointment.
I was told this was not possible as I had other more urgent jobs and was met with a period of excuses and their problems with scheduling which is not a concern the customer should need to hear about
I was then told they could come out Monday which was completely unacceptable. Again it’s misleading and false advertising saying same-day service when I placed a call Friday morning and the earliest they could do was Monday
When I pushed back saying please keep the original appointment and I don’t appreciate being pushed back the night before and that there should be some kind of reduction in the callout fee they can’t make the original scheduled appointment.
I received no response over text but an email this morning at 7am cancelled and said they don’t want to disengage as I had been disrespectful when all I was simply doing was keeping them accountable stating the facts and asking for a minimum level of service
See my messages below confirming this and her response.
As a customer it gets tiring with businesses and tradies continually letting you down overcharging and not turning up

Professional and neat but hugely expensive – Technician arrived on time and was clean and respectful. Was not so interested in the work but more trying to upsell, which he worked very hard at. Presented good options and explained his suggestions very well with good reasons given. A quote was provided with the initial requested work listed, and also provided quotes for proposed works. He was… Read more
unsuccessful in the sales pitch and I had to reduce the job down to just the one necessary piece of work, as the prices were extremely high. The actual time spent on the repair was about 10 minutes tops - he was so quick and efficient. I worked out later that the hourly rate was around $2400/hr good grief!
Prices quoted for other replacement parts were inflated by about 500% compared to basic prices that can be found for comparable items in your ordinary hardware store.
So be careful with what you sign up for with this company. I have no problem with the quality of the work done, nor the person who turned up, but they charge enormously high fees and so beware.
Overcharged - rip off – Wanted to charge $560 to replace 2 x smoke detectors while already on site to hang a light and found a fault in my fuse bx. Charged $247 to diagnose the problem and then $442 to fix it - absolute rip off - do not use. Rang the management to discuss as the electrician said it was a set price, have not heard back - but the electrician was on his… Read more
phone out the front for quite a bit of time. - have found another electrician who will install for 2 x for $250. So disappointing.
Compliments – Arrived on time. Very professional and fully explained what my options were. Also after he had completed the job booked in for suggesting that l upgrade smoke detector to a fully electrical unit instead of the battery unit. I took his advise. Cleaned up after that had finished. Would definitely use this company again. Thanks Daniel Drummond. Show reply
Professional – Service Experts quoted to replace and instal over 64 down lights in our home. The home had just been painted and the two technicians were fastidious in the attention to detail and ensuring that no damage occur to the freshly painted ceiling. The guys were timely and very polite. Show reply

Above and beyond – The best way for me to review this group would be to say "I would unreservedly recommend them to anyone requiring electrical work" ! Show reply
Prompt tidy and polite – We were completely satisfied with the electrical work that was done. The electricians were polite and let us know what they were doing and when they were switching off the electricity. They even vacuumed after they had finished. Thank you for a great job. Show reply
