Before you say yes to Melbourne General Electrical Services

  • Ask them this: Verify REC details and confirm the fault-finding fee, service area and Certificate of Electrical Safety arrangements.
  • Ask for the call-out fee and what it covers: after-hours rates, travel and the first half hour are often charged separately from the repair.
  • Check the licence: electrical work in Victoria must be done by a licensed electrician working for a Registered Electrical Contractor. Look them up on Energy Safe Victoria's register. How to check a licence.
  • Get the certificate: electrical installation work needs a Certificate of Electrical Safety, and the electrician must give you a copy (source).
  • Agree the scope: a make-safe visit tonight and the full repair later are often two jobs. Ask which you're getting, and get the price for each.
  • Keep the paperwork: the invoice, the certificate and any photos, for the insurer, the landlord or the next tradie. Paying a tradie.

How this page was made: everything in “What its website says” was read on melbelectricalservices.com.au, and links to the page it came from. We haven't verified availability, prices or workmanship, Melbourne General Electrical Services hasn't paid to be listed, and a listing isn't an endorsement. The checks and emergency numbers come from Victoria's regulators and utilities, linked where they appear. Read on 1 November 2026.
