Dann, Hamish, and the team came out to perform a complicated three phase and board upgrade, including sub boards in my sheds. I found the whole team to be polite, and hard working. It was a very challenging job, but Dann's team did not compromise on quality or safety. I'm impressed with thier professional approach to the job, and they left the site tidy and clean. I will absolutely be calling them again next time I need works done.

Highly recommend Ben from Danns Electrical, we couldn't be happier with his service. Ben quickly came up with solutions for our issues and did a fantastic job installing sensor lights and power points. He provided excellent, reliable and professional service, we wouldn't use anyone else. 5 Stars

Exceptional electrician, experience really makes all the difference! We honestly cannot recommend Dan highly enough! We'd been dealing with an incredibly frustrating, intermittent electrical issue in our kitchen for ages. The power would trip seemingly out of nowhere, sometimes only once every six months, making it almost impossible to pinpoint the cause. We'd spent so much time troubleshooting, unplugging appliances and trying to work out what on earth was going on. Just when we thought we'd figured it out, the problem would eventually happen again! We finally called Dan, and honestly, we were absolutely mind blown. Within less than five minutes of arriving, he had figured out the issue! After all the time we'd spent scratching our heads over it, watching him identify the problem so quickly was incredible. It really showed us the difference that genuine experience, technical knowledge and expertise make. What had been an ongoing headache for us was something Dan was able to work through almost immediately. We're so glad we called him. It's such a relief to have someone who genuinely knows their trade and can get to the bottom of a problem without hours of guesswork. If you're looking for an electrician who knows what they're doing, is experienced and can troubleshoot those frustrating electrical issues that others might struggle to pinpoint, give Dan a call. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will absolutely be using him again. Thanks, Dan, you've earned every one of these five stars!

Had some light fittings changed and quotes done for an electrical box overhaul. Electrician and admin staff were super helpful and professional. The jobs were completed to a high standard. I will definitely be using this company again.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. I hired Dann's Electrical to perform a switchboard upgrade at my home in Oct 2026. Communication from the outset was phenomenal and they instilled more confidence than the 3 other competitive others I'd invited to tender for the works. Pricing was more competitive to boot. When Dan's tradesman Hamish and apprentice Cody rocked up with the new board, due to unforeseen circumstances, it quickly became apparent that there was much more to the job than had initially been expected. This is after the Level 2 electrician had disconnected us from street power and left. There was no turning back now. Without going into too much detail, Hamish and Cody's day had gone from a reasonably paced knock-off-on-time job to an "oh f*************k" kinda day. Not once did the boys grumble or moan or swear (as I certainly would have.) Nor did they let a moment go to waste. They were in it now and they didn't stop until the job was done. Upon finishing the job, I couldn't fault a single thing from their professionalism, the presentation and cable management of the new board to their clean-up effort at the end of the job when all they would have wanted was to go home a take a long shower in silence to wash the helluva day off 'em. BONUS POINTS! As with any older home, some of the building materials the fellas encountered were aged out and brittle: a roof tile broke as they were putting it back in. What did they do? Silicon up the remains and not let me find out until the next big rain because "where are we going to find a replacement for a 40+ year old tile?" Nope! The industrious young blokes jumped on fb marketplace, miraculously tracked down a local seller who had something that matched and drove out to his place to pick up a replacement (with a spare for me to keep.) I said at the top of this spiel that if i could give 5 stars, I would. I hope you now understand why. Dan, if you're reading this: don't let Hamish and Cody out of your sight. Any employer would be lucky to have 2 young guns of this calibre in their stable. Hats off, boys!

Dan came out to my place early on a Saturday morning to fix problems with the wiring in my switchboard, so we could get our power back after a storm. He got us going and provided advice on what we might want to look at upgrading. Dan was very nice and, arrived when he said he would, and did a great job.
Safety inspections

Know exactly how safe your wiring is

Most wiring faults are hidden in the walls and ceiling until something trips, sparks or burns. An inspection tests what you can't see: the switchboard, safety switches, earthing, circuits and smoke alarms.

We explain what we find in plain English, tell you what's urgent and what can wait, and give you a fixed price for anything that needs fixing. Nothing is done without your OK.

Why inspections matter

What an inspection can find before it becomes a fire

Inspection triggers and risks from the NSW Government and NSW Fair Trading.

Home built before the 1980s? Get it inspected

Pre-1980s
NSW Government inspection trigger

The NSW Government says if your home was built before the 1980s, you really should consider having it inspected.

A wiring check can prevent a fire

Up to 1,800
house fires a year that wiring checks and safety switches could prevent

NSW Government figures say up to 1,800 house fires each year could have been prevented by getting the wiring checked and having safety switches installed.

Old wiring goes brittle

Don't touch
older wiring types

NSW Fair Trading says older types of wiring can become brittle and should not be handled. It needs checking by a licensed electrician.

Power been off 6 months? Inspect first

6 months
off before an inspection is required

NSW rules say an installation that has been disconnected for 6 months or more needs a safety inspection by a qualified electrician before it can be switched back on remotely.

New tenancy? Test the safety switch

Condition report
should confirm safety switches work

The NSW Government says a rental condition report should note whether the safety switches are working, which can only be known if a test has been done.

Electrical fault in a rental? It's urgent

Urgent
how any electrical fault in a rental is treated

The NSW Government says any electrical fault in a rental property, before or during a tenancy, would be considered an urgent repair.

FAQs

Electrical inspection questions

Ask us anything
What does an electrical safety inspection include?

We check and test the switchboard, safety switches, earthing, circuits, powerpoints, light fittings and smoke alarms, and look for damaged or deteriorated wiring. Thermal imaging is available to find hot spots in the board.

How often should I have my home inspected?

NSW Government guidance doesn't set a fixed inspection interval for homes, including rentals. The NSW Government recommends an inspection for homes built before the 1980s, and it's worth doing when you buy, before renovating, between tenants and after storm or water damage.

Do I need an inspection before turning the power back on?

If the power has been disconnected for 6 months or more, NSW rules require a safety inspection by a qualified electrician before it can be switched back on remotely. This often applies to vacant homes and deceased estates.

What happens if you find a problem?

We explain it, tell you how urgent it is and give you a fixed price to fix it. If something is dangerous, we'll make it safe on the spot.

Do you inspect rental properties?

Yes. We check safety switches, smoke alarms and wiring for landlords and property managers and fix anything that needs it.

How much will it cost?

Quotes are free, and our work is fixed price. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so the price you agree to is the price you pay. There are no hidden fees.

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Yes. Dann's Electrical holds NSW electrical contractor licence 399632C and carries $20 million public liability insurance. We're CM3 certified and NECA members.
