Our Testimonials
Troy
Very professional. Replaced two exhaust fans and adapted to a late request to install a smoke alarm and completed everything to a professional standard within an hour. Very impressed and will be using his services for future jobs. Nathan explained everything clearly at the end and gave a good quote for another job to install sensor lights out back. Highly recommend anyone needing reliable, skilled electrical work.
Returning customer – I used this company for a ceiling fan installation, and the electrical work was very well done and highly professional. The electricians were polite, professional, skilled, efficient, and friendly, and left the house completely clear of debris. Thanks. Pricing was fair, scheduling was easy, communication stayed clear and consistent throughout the entire job, and I will confidently recommend them to all friends.
I recently used Watts Needed Electrical to professionally install two delicate crystal chandeliers, and I couldn't be happier with the outstanding results. James was the electrician who came to my home, and he was absolutely fantastic. He was clearly very skilled and completed the installation quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend Watts Needed Electrical for their excellent service and highly skilled electricians like James.
Nathan was on time and did a wonderful job. He stayed to the quoted price, explained everything clearly, and worked carefully and efficiently. We are extremely happy with the service provided by Watts Electrical. The team was professional, polite, and respectful, leaving our home. We will definitely call them again for future electrical needs and highly recommend their services to friends and family.
Amazing! I had a list of things to do. Nathan gave me a rough estimate when I first contacted him and the final price was a little less than initially estimated. There was a team of guys that attended; they arrived on time; their recommendations and workmanship were great; they cleaned up after themselves completely. Will definitely be using Nathan and his team again. Thank you Watts Needed Electrical.
Seems pretty good. Not had chance to check exterior light yet. Bedroom excellent. Kitchen pretty good, only minor problem is two over sink now connected to all, rather than through their own switch. Overall, no complaints, very satisfied with the work, the team was professional, polite, highly efficient, extremely friendly, punctual, knowledgeable, helpful, and thorough, and we will definitely call on you again for future jobs.
Very happy, Nathan was great, a real electrical detective! We had unexpected power loss on New Year’s Eve, which caused some stress, and he came the next day, quickly assessed the situation, carefully checked all wiring, tested every connection, and explained the problem clearly. So great result, efficient, professional, friendly, and extremely reassuring, leaving us confident in our electrical system.
James and Sam did everything we asked for and more on the day. They arrived early, brought all necessary tools, worked efficiently without any fuss, and double-checked every detail to ensure absolutely perfect results. They were done quickly, and they cleaned up after themselves, leaving the area spotless and organized, which we really appreciated. Very professional, and polite lads to boot. Cheers.
Sam was punctual, professional, and quickly sorted out our two issues. He arrived fully prepared, explained the process clearly, worked efficiently without any delays, and ensured everything was fixed correctly the first time. I was on a time crunch, so appreciated them fitting me in within the week. Friendly, reliable, and knowledgeable, I would definitely call them again for any future work. Recommended.
From the moment I phoned Watts Needed and spoke to Nathan I knew I was dealing with a professional, reliable, friendly, and highly skilled company. When Sam and James turned up I knew I'd selected the right people. I was kept fully informed, the two of them were very professional, courteous, efficient, and attentive, and the difficult job was completed perfectly. Really impressed and I highly recommend Watts Needed.
Had all my halogens replaced, a new circuit installed, and switchboard upgraded. The team arrived on time, explained every step clearly, worked efficiently without cutting corners, and ensured everything was tested thoroughly. Competitive quote and very professional work. Friendly, reliable, knowledgeable, and meticulous, I was completely satisfied with the service and would hire again without hesitation.
Fantastic electricians! Highly professional and knew exactly what they were doing. They patiently ran me through all different options, explaining the pros and cons for each in detail. The workmanship was picture perfect, thorough, careful, and was done at an absolute high standard with exceptional skill and efficiency. 110% will be using them again and will be recommending to friends and family.
Fluro tube had stopped working in my bathroom, purchased new tube but the terminals had failed over time. Watts responded to my call in the afternoon, arrived promptly next morning, on time, and replaced the old, unserviceable fitting with a much better new one. Cost was very reasonable and work done efficiently with little cleaning. Thank you and well done, you will now be my preferred supplier of electrical services.
Very happy with the excellent service provided. Technician James efficiently sorted out our issue with our internet/wifi connection. He carefully relocated our internet connection point and now everything is working perfectly fine. James also spent extra time ensuring our internet connection was working correctly and tested all devices thoroughly. Thank you Watts Needed Electrical and James for your professional, reliable, and friendly service.
Extremely happy with the work! The guys arrived on time, were very friendly, polite, and efficient throughout the entire process. They explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and ensured the spaces were left neat & tidy, with no mess left behind. I would happily use Watts Needed Electrical again and will definitely recommend their professional, reliable, and high-quality services to all my friends, family.
The guys from Watts Needed Electrical did the best install job for our new Sony TV ever in our long experience. It was a neat wall hanging done quickly sand efficiently. The main installer James Hayes went beyond his remit patiently trying to get the new Bravia to work. After an uncharged extra 30 minutes he rightly concluded the TV was a dud. I am hoping whoever comes for the replacement is as proficient
Very happy with the prompt and efficient attention to quickly replacing a broken double power point safely. James was very professional, courteous, and knowledgeable, and did a great job in a short amount of time, very thoroughly. I understand things are expensive these days, however, the bill for this relatively small job of $272.90 would seem to me somewhat exorbitant and surprisingly high, considering the work.
The guys from Watts arrived as scheduled, took the time to carefully confirm the required work, then set to it efficiently. They were extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and made sure to clean up the worksite completely afterward. The invoice was as expected and very reasonable. I would definitely recommend Watts Needed Electrical to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality, and trustworthy electrical services in the area.
We have had two very good experiences with this firm over the last two months in relation to external lighting and a new TV antenna installation. The team was professional, punctual, and extremely knowledgeable, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring all work was completed to a very high standard. Thanks especially to Sam, James, and the boss Nathan for their friendly, reliable, and efficient service throughout.
Arrived on time, very punctual, quick to assess exactly what was needed, and expertly popped our new induction hob into place. They tested everything thoroughly, explained how it worked, ensured it was functioning perfectly, and left the kitchen completely clean, tidy, and safe for use. Work was efficient, professional, highly reliable, and hassle-free, giving us complete peace of mind.
