Travel Charges
In order to keep things simple and easy we charge our travel out at our regular labour rate. There is a one-time fee for our vehicle charge per job no matter how many times we visit your site!
- Residential clients’ vehicle charge is included in the service call.
- Commercial and Industrial clients pay $35 per site visit for a vehicle Charge.
Because we operate on a zone system and do so many jobs each month we can ensure our electrician is going to finish up a job close to you so that you will not incur any excessive travel charges. If you have any problems please just sing out, and we can check our charges as all our vans have GPS in them.
Charges for Materials
We install only high-quality products as included in the price is an on-site warranty. We do charge a small mark-up on our materials to support our electricians and source materials sustainably. If we are selling many materials we will discount this back. If you want to be 100% sure on what the costs will be then please ask us for a free quote below.
The gear provided by big retailers is generally of a lower quality than the materials we provide. We also have a return to site warranty which includes labour for the replacement of any faulty gear.

Certificate of Compliance (CoC) vs. Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC)
Certificate of Compliance (CoC)
As part of being compliant with the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB) and Worksafe, we issue a CoC for any new wiring work done on your property. This includes additional light fittings that require new wiring or fitting new power points.
CoC’s are not provided for the maintenance of electrical work. They essentially guarantee that work done by Grammar Electrical has been completed by a licensed electrician and meets safety standards.
Electrical Safety Certificate (ESC)
ESCs are provided for maintenance and replacement electrical work including any replacements of fixtures, fittings or appliance maintenance.
If you are considering any new or existing electrical work and are unsure of what you might need, just give us a bell.
