Tom from First Choice was incredible. The job was more complicated than originally expected but he handled it like a champ, kept us informed, and cleaned up after himself. Awesome work all round.

I was connecting 3 phases to my house with the First Choice Electrical. Good communication and fast responses and good organisation from Ryan. Good quality and clean work (replacing ceiling fans, several switches, switchboard upgrade, 3 phases connection) from Zain (electrician), no issues after installations.
A bit higher final invoice compared to initial quote with estimations costs which is expected, but other than that happy with organisation and job done.
Thank you.
Response from the owner 8 months ago
Thank you, Andrii, for your kind words! We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience with Ryan and the team, and we appreciate your understanding regarding the final invoice. Unfortunately, the previous electrician installed the ceiling fans without any timber supports in the ceiling (scary stuff), they are now installed correctly. Your satisfaction means a lot to us!

Andrew was extremely helpful (even while on holidays) for organising and assisting us with short notice time constrained activities. He put in a lot more effort than expected and conducted himself with the utmost professionalism. Highly recommend!

I could not fault this company in any way. The technician Ben could not have been better.
Excellent service all around. I would highly recommend him to everyone who needs any electrical work done. Extremely helpful, very happy customer here.

Incredibly professional, having worked in the industry myself for the last 20 years, I found First Choice to move then live up to their name. Brent, my sparkey, was on time, went out of his way by sourcing and installing additional lighting product to complete the installation. He was fast, thorough and utterly professional. Andrew, who the original call, was immediate in scheduling my job with no fuss. I'll be using these guys as my preferred service providers.

Electrical issues don’t wait, Neither do we. Our team is ready 24/7 to address any electrical emergency, ensuring you’re never left in the dark.

Our rapid response team is always ready to address your urgent electrical needs, ensuring minimal disruption and maximum safety.

If something goes wrong, stay calm and act in this order. First, cut the power at the switchboard — but only if it’s safe to reach. Never touch someone in contact with a live source; switch off the power first, or use something non-conductive to push them clear. If you hear arcing, see smoke, or smell burning, don’t investigate — call Ausgrid on 13 13 88 immediately and get everyone out. For any electrical fire, never use water; use a dry powder or CO₂ extinguisher only.

Call 000 straight away if there’s any injury, fire, or ongoing hazard. Anyone who has received a shock should be assessed by a medical professional, even if they feel fine — complications can appear hours later.

Once the immediate danger is under control, call a licensed electrician before restoring power. Never simply reset the breaker and carry on. The fault that caused the emergency needs to be found and fixed first.

Yes. Our after hour fee structure is as follows:

  • After Hours Emergency Attendance Fee – $299 inc GST
  • Hourly Rate (1x Tradesman) – $174.46 inc GST
  • Materials – Billed if required as per our standard rates/mark ups if required
  • Minimum 1 hour charge out per booking plus an after hours booking fee, Labour will be charged in 0.5 hour increments after the first hour has elapsed
