“I highly recommend Russ for any electrical needs. He completed a range of lighting and electrical improvements at my house including dimmer switch, power point and pendant light installations, smoke detector upgrades and an ethernet cable extension. From the initial quote (and his useful suggestions) to completing the job, he was friendly and cheerful and his communication was excellent. He worked tirelessly to get the work done in the agreed timeframe and was very tidy. He even returned to troubleshoot a problematic dimmer and worked hard to get it sorted. We are delighted with the results.”

“Russell was fantastic. Great communication, arrived on time and provided clear information that we could understand. He made suggestions and gave us time to think about it. His work was fantastic and we have no hesitation recommending him. Thanks Russell!”
“We had Russ install our Hisense Canvas TV with a recessed box, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. He was very professional, clearly knew what he was doing, and provided expert advice on the setup and positioning. Beyond the TV install, Russ took the time to diagnose another electrical concern we had and explained everything clearly, without any pressure. The work was neat, well thought through, and done to a high standard. All in all, very happy with the service and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.”
“Russ has done great work on several occasions. He has installed my new smoke alarms, down lights, data cables and power points. Would highly recommend him for and electrical work.”
“Russ has done many jobs for me, always with excellent quality workmanship and products. I've had my smoke alarms changed, new oven installed, downlights and pendants hung, new power points put in, ceiling fan, probably more. Nothing is ever an issue, and he provides great advice and fast, reliable service. Would definitely recommend!”
