What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Electrician To The Rescue draws consistent praise from customers in Sydney for the speed and reliability of its response, particularly when power fails after hours. Several reviewers describe calling in the morning and having a qualified electrician on site within a couple of hours, while others recount how quickly faults were found and isolated. Simon features repeatedly, with customers noting his punctuality, his friendly manner and his habit of explaining each step as he works. A point made in several accounts is the care taken to tidy up afterwards, with one reviewer remarking on a clean finish after ceiling and downlight replacements in a bathroom.

Others mention the clear options and straightforward pricing quotes provided before work begins, along with practical advice on updating old circuit boards and meeting building regulations. Kent also earns recognition for arriving when promised and carefully walking a householder through the fault he had traced. Customers describe returning to the company for second and subsequent jobs, requesting the same electrician, and appreciating being kept informed when a tradesperson is running behind. The recurring theme is competent, well-explained electrical work completed without fuss.

Simon did an excellent, tidy job changing ceiling and down lights in my bathroom at a competitive price. He was on time, courteous and friendly. With his knowledge of building regulations and technical skills he is highly recommended.

Simon the electrician was friendly and arrived on time. He gave me three options and explained each one very well so that I understood exactly what was involved. Once my choice was made, the work was completed quickly. I’d have no hesitation in contacting your company again for any future work that may come up. 5 stars all day long.

Kent was fantastic. He was on time, patient, took care to identify the issue (he could not find any) however, he spent some time with the unit to ensure that it was safe to operate and advised what I could do if the problem re-occurred. He also gave me a quote if I wanted to change the unit in the future. Kent is a good conversationalist and very respectful and a credit to your team. This is the first time that Kent has been out to our unit (we have had Simon come over a few times to fix issues that we have encountered in the past). It was a pleasure meeting Kent today. Having used your services in the past, I am happy with the quality of your tradespeople and the quality of the work that they carry out. Thank you for your quick and efficient support all along.

We had Simon come from electrician to the rescue he was punctual friendly and explained everything he was doing as he was doing it even the phone conversation I had to book Simon the day before was great courteous and professional. The lady I had even stayed back half an hour to call me back to see when we could do the booking would highly recommend electrician to the rescue.
