What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Rapid response and honest fault-finding come through as the strongest themes in feedback about this Ballarat electrical contractor. Customers writing about their orders describe ringing in the morning and having an electrician on site within a couple of hours, with one emergency call-out attended to inside the hour after an oven element failed and was swapped out during the same visit. Reviewers repeatedly mention that problems were diagnosed rather than turned into opportunities to sell unnecessary replacements; a caravan owner dealing with a 240-volt issue was given advice on a cheaper remedy that avoided major work, and a fuse fault was traced and repaired instead of a new air conditioner being pushed.

Politeness, punctuality and money-saving guidance feature often, including an enquiry handled over the phone without sending anyone out and a business equipment upgrade managed by Clancy, who is named for listening to requirements and planning for future needs. Materials dropped off ahead of installation and staff going beyond expectations to assist are noted too. The work spans appliance repair, caravan wiring, emergency faults and commercial equipment, with follow-up visits finished promptly.

I recently upgraded some vital equipment for my business through Clancy at O'Brien Electrical, and the entire process from deciding what would best suit my needs, to the install and set up, was made easy and hassle free. Clancy listened to my requirements when advising what would be most suitable for my business currently, as well as into the future. I also have peace of mind knowing that my equipment will be well maintained. I would highly recommend the O'Brien team.

I had a 240v electrical problem with my caravan. Although I had to call them to make sure they were going to show up, when they did, the service I received was excellent. With their advice, I was able to find a much cheaper solution to my problem, and in the end, nothing major needed to be done, saving me a lot of money. I will definitely be using them again should I need any electrical work done for my caravan or my house. I highly recommend them.
