Hiring an electrician in Derwent Valley: what to check

Licence check. In Tasmania, as everywhere in Australia, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for their licence number and check it on the TAS licensing regulator’s public register before work starts.
  • Check the tradie holds the licence or registration required in your state for your type of job.
  • Ask for a written quote that lists labour, materials and GST.
  • Get a written contract for larger jobs — many states require one for residential building work over a set value.
  • Ask whether they hold public liability insurance.
  • Check the ABN on the ABN Lookup website.
  • Ask how long the job will take and who will be on site.

Typical jobs

  • Switchboard upgrades and safety switches (RCDs)
  • Power points, lighting and LED downlights
  • Ceiling fans and exhaust fans
  • Smoke alarm installation and replacement
  • EV charger installation
  • Fault finding and emergency call-outs
  • Rewiring older homes
  • Oven, cooktop and hot water connections

Tips for Derwent Valley

  • In remote areas electricians may travel long distances or visit on scheduled runs, so ask about travel costs and try to group jobs into one visit.
  • Confirm materials or equipment are on hand before the visit, as getting parts can take longer.
  • Ask whether they offer after-hours or emergency call-outs, and what that costs, before you need one.
