Hiring an electrician in Knox: what to check

Licence check. In Victoria, as everywhere in Australia, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician. Ask for their licence number and check it on the VIC 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.

Tips for Knox

  • Metro areas usually have more electricians to choose from, so it’s worth comparing two or three written quotes.
  • Mention parking, access and any strata or building rules when you book, as these can affect scheduling.
  • Ask whether they offer after-hours or emergency call-outs, and what that costs, before you need one.
