Thinking about electrical work at home? Here’s the deal in NSW: only licensed electricians can legally handle the wiring and installs. Homeowners must hire a pro: DIY jobs are not only dangerous, they’re illegal and could mean hefty fines.
Want to check your tradie's credentials? It's easy! Visit Service NSW to confirm an electrician’s licence: https://verify.licence.nsw.gov.au. For electrical safety and compliance laws at home, head to: https://www.nsw.gov.au/housing-and-construction/safety-home/electrical-safety/electrical-safety-home.
Remember: If electrical work is done without a licensed electrician, you may not be covered by insurance if something goes wrong. Protect your home and your peace of mind by always checking licensing and compliance for both safety and insurance protection!
When you bring in a qualified sparkie, you should always check for their licence and insurance, and expect a Certificate of Compliance Electrical Work when the job’s done. That’s your peace of mind the work’s safe and up to standard.
