How do I know that my Electrical Contractor is licensed to perform the work I need? Is there a way I can check?
There are DIFFERENT TYPES OF ELECTRICAL LICENCES (Scroll down to the bottom of this page, and enter details to check if your Electrical Contractor is licenced.)
ALWAYS USE A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR.
Electrical work is NEVER do-it-yourself – it is illegal and very dangerous.
Only licensed Electrical Contractors (or their employees whilst acting as representatives of that business) are permitted to perform electrical work on your home or property.
People who perform unlicensed electrical work can be prosecuted and face considerable fines or imprisonment. Never permit any person to perform electrical work if they are not licensed to perform that work.
Prior to the commencement of any electrical work, always check to see if that Electrical Contractor is licensed to do the work you require - this guarantees that this person knows what they are doing and gives you avenues for recourse if something goes wrong.
Do NOT allow unlicensed electrical work - the price you pay COULD be too much.
A significant number of properties are damaged or destroyed by fire resulting from electrical faults. Did you know that, in the event of a fire, your House and Contents Insurance would not cover you if it is proven that the fire was caused as a result of unlicensed electrical work. Too many Australians are accidentally electrocuted or killed by electricity every year.
Always use a licensed electrical contractor for your electrical work to ensure you, your family, your property and your possessions are safe.
