About the company

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Households seeking urgent repairs and planned upgrades in Glenorchy and the wider Hobart area feature repeatedly among the accounts left for RCBO Electrical. Several customers describe Colin as the central figure, praising his honesty, his habit of explaining faults and remedies in plain language, and the reassurance this gave them when dealing with switchboard upgrades, hot water failures and faulty ovens. Renee is named just as often for prompt, clear and friendly communication, from the first enquiry through to updates on arrival and follow-up calls.

Reviews time and again mention punctuality, with trades arriving when promised, and a willingness to fit in around other trades or add extra work at short notice. Tidiness comes up as a recurring theme, one customer noting that even other tradespeople remarked on how clean the site was left. Fair, reasonable pricing and the speed of both quoting and completion are described alongside the quality of the finished result, including safety and compliance work on switch boxes. A point made in several accounts is how problems were handled: diagnostic checks, parts sourced quickly and return visits arranged without fuss. The team's friendliness and the way members support one another round out the picture.

Wire insulation scrap left on site, Hot water cylinder thermostat left on 75C (Potentially dangerous and unnecessary), obviously burnt connectors re-used (a 50 cent part at full retail), job report mentions advice/conversations that did not occur. I have worked with electricians/electronics technicians and electrical engineers for many years, this was a very basic job with an obvious minimum care factor (about $80 above what I was told by them for what should be the cost for a 20-30 minute job). Will not be contacting them for any future work.No response to emails or via their website message system. Had to call them just to get my invoice. Update: The thermostat they replaced has failed after 6 months leaving me with no hot water in the middle of winter.

communication over the phone was kind and helpful. They had someone sent out to help with my sudden electrical problem in record time and fixed it even faster. Everything's back to working smoothly and safely!

RCBO electrical are great. The owner, Colin, is straight forward and a great communicator. Prompt service - he made time to come and do a comprehensive quote, answered all of my questions, and the written quote that I got had a full breakdown of the service (great and I know takes businesses a lot of time!). His team came to the house and did a great job, left the place neat and tidy as they found it. I would not hesitate to recommend RCBO electrical!
