What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Punctuality, courtesy and a readiness to explain the work run through the feedback for this Melbourne electrical service. Tradespeople are described as arriving when they said they would and getting straight into the task, whether that meant tracing a late-night fault, swapping an ageing switch box for a modern one or fitting LED lights and power points. Customers note that jobs were talked through in plain language and followed up afterwards, including a call to confirm a tricky issue had been sorted.

Staff named in the reviews, among them Justin, Odin, Marc and Jeremy, are credited with a professional manner and respectful conduct on site. Tidiness appears often, with floors and surfaces left cleaner than they were found and noise kept down around a sleeping baby. The finished result is called precise and neat, with smoke alarm replacements and safety compliance work mentioned alongside general installations.

Fair labour costs and honest pricing are raised without prompting, and crews are also credited with identifying and fixing problems left behind by earlier electrical work. The experience is consistently described as hassle-free from the first conversation to completion, leaving customers saying they would engage the team again for future jobs, from fault finding to lighting upgrades.

I don't like writing negative reviews. However, I think people should be wary/cautious of these guys. The first time I used them: I had a good experience with them. So, I went to use them a second time for a switchboard upgrade. They completely price gouged me. I paid $4000 for a job that I later realised I could have got done for $2000 (or less). They completely took advantage of the fact I trusted them. And because I had used them before and had a good experience- I did not get a second quote. Justin will visit you and sell you on things, and tell you all the problems you have, etc etc. Get a second opinion is my advice. Also, don't pay the 10% deposit on the spot. There were multiple misleadings about the job - e.g. he told me it would take 4 hours (they were here for less than 2 hours). Ultimately they did a good job, but make sure you get a second quote and don't believe what they tell you. I'm a single mum and this really hurt!

I had a repeatedly tripping circuit at my factory that had another electrical company completely stumped. Called The Local Electrician and Odin came out the same day and had it sorted in no time. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough — professional, knowledgeable, and he gets the job done when others can’t. Will be using him for all our electrical work going forward!

The local electrician came out to a late night electrical fault that I had. On arrival I was met with Odin, the punctuality, honesty and respect that I got out of this man was out of this world. I didn’t even ask for him to keep the noise down while my baby slept it was second nature for him and I thought I would be cleaning up after he was done he actually left the place better than he found it. His pricing was beyond reasonable and I’ve even called to request him for future works that I’ll be doing using this mob. Thanks again Odin, I wish I could give you more stars bud Kruse.
