Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions we get asked most
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Southwest Power Solutions is a licensed electrical contractor, licence number EC17555. In WA only a licensed contractor can legally do electrical work, and the law says that number has to be on your quote and invoice, so you can check us to make sure everything is legitimate. Building and Energy WA has a free licence search online and our EC number is all you need. We’re insured too, so if anything gets damaged on the job, you’re covered.
Do you charge a call-out fee, and how does pricing work?
You’ll get a price before we start, not after. For most jobs that’s a fixed quote, so you know the full cost up front with nothing hidden, waiting on the invoice. For smaller jobs or fault-finding we’ll tell you exactly how the charging works before we book anything in. Quotes are free, so if you want one, just get in touch.
Can I legally do my own electrical work?
Short answer, no. In WA it’s against the law for anyone who isn’t a licensed electrician to do fixed electrical work. That’s wiring, power points, light switches, and hardwired gear like ceiling fans and ovens. It isn’t just about paperwork either. Bad wiring starts fires, and work done by an unlicensed person can void your home insurance and get flagged when you sell. Plugging in an appliance is fine. Anything behind the wall, leave to us. If you are unsure about whether you need a Sparky or not, give us a call and we’d be happy to discuss it with you.
What areas do you cover?
All over the South West. Margaret River, Augusta, Busselton, Dunsborough and the towns around them. We’re ACTUALLY based here, not sending subcontractors to do the work and not driving down from Perth. We’re centrally located right here in the South West, so we can usually get to you quickly. If you’re in the region and not sure we reach you, give us a call. Chances are we do.
How do I know if my switchboard or wiring needs upgrading?
A few things are worth watching. Old ceramic fuses or no safety switches on the board, breakers that trip when you run a few things at once, warm power points, flickering lights, or a faint hot- plastic smell. A lot of older South West homes weren’t wired for all the high current appliances we have now, like air con, induction cooktops and EV chargers. If any of that sounds familiar, get it checked. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s urgent or it can wait, rather than just selling you a new switch-board.
The most important thing is that you have your electrical circuits on RCD. Their function is to protect you and your family to ensure in the event that something does go wrong. Your circuit is truly going ti cut out before an electric shock, or fire. If you’re unsure that they are compliant, please don’t delay in reaching out. It’s not worth the risk.
