Can you run power to an automatic gate at the end of my Oakville driveway?
Yes, we run a dedicated supply to gate motors, usually underground in conduit, with cable sized for the distance so the motor gets the voltage it needs. We can add an intercom or lighting at the gate at the same time. We look at the route first and give a fixed price before any trenching starts.
Is it worth replacing old halogen and fluorescent lights in my Oakville home and sheds?
Usually, yes. LED fittings use much less electricity than halogen downlights or old fluorescent tubes, last far longer and run cooler, which means less heat in the roof space. In sheds, LED battens also give brighter, more even light for work. We supply and install them at a fixed price, with a 7-year warranty on lighting.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. Dann’s Electrical is a licensed NSW electrical contractor with full insurance. We’re CM3 certified, NECA members and a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider, and the team holds current Working With Children Checks.

Who looks after a private power pole on a property in Oakville?
Endeavour Energy says privately owned poles and lines are the property owner’s responsibility, and recommends an inspection before bushfire season and after major storms. Endeavour Energy says to keep a 3-metre safety clearance from powerlines, and owners look after trees near lines on their land. If a repair means disconnecting at the point of supply, it needs a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider, and we are one.
What is a Level 2 electrician?
A Level 2 electrician is an Accredited Service Provider authorised to work on the network side of your property. That includes connecting and disconnecting power, repairing and upgrading service lines, and metering. Regular electricians can’t do this work. Dann’s holds Endeavour Energy authorisation for service line work and Plus ES authorisation for contestable metering.
