Frequently asked questions

We understand that choosing the right tradie can come with a lot of questions. Our team of skilled professionals is here to make the process simple and stress-free, providing clear communication, and quality workmanship every step of the way. To help you get started, here are some common questions.

How quickly can an emergency electrician arrive?

In most cases, we aim to be with you within 60 minutes of your call. Every minute counts in an emergency, so we move fast.

Are we available 24 hours a day?

Absolutely. Your Local Tradesman operates around the clock, every day of the year. Whether it’s 3am or 3pm, our emergency electricians are ready to take on your job, get it done and get it done well.

How much does an emergency electrician cost?

Our Adelaide-based emergency electricians will work out what needs to be done and provide you with a no-obligation, upfront fixed price for your job.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

Here are some common emergencies that require an urgent electrician:

Unexplainable power outages
Unidentifiable burning smells
Sparking outlets
Tripping breakers
Any situation that feels dangerous

If any of the above apply, it warrants a call. When in doubt, it doesn’t hurt to reach out first. That’s exactly what an after hours electrician is here for.

What should you do in an electrical emergency before we arrive?

Stay calm. Easier said than done, we know. If possible, it helps to do the following:

Switch off the main power at your switchboard
Avoid touching any exposed wiring or damaged appliances
Keep children and pets away from the area
Wait for our team to arrive and stay safe out there!

Are our electricians all licensed and insured?

Of course. All Your Local Tradesman electricians are fully licensed and insured. It’s one less thing to worry about when you’re faced with urgent electrical emergencies.

Is it safe to wait until the morning to call an electrician?

It’s not worth the risk. Electrical faults are prone to escalating quickly, potentially causing fires or serious injury. If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t. The best thing to do is to call us immediately.

Do we support both homes and businesses with emergencies?

Yes. We service residential homes, commercial properties and industrial sites across Adelaide. No job is too big or too small for our team, whether you need us during the day or an after hours electrician overnight.

How do you charge for your services?

We offer transparent, upfront pricing at competitive rates for our services. Get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, and we'll provide you with a fixed quote detailing the works before they begin.

Last week, I contacted Your Local Tradesman to arrange a plumber. They called me the same day and promptly booked a time to come out and provide a quote. They had excellent availability, and any delay in scheduling was on my end. I received a reminder email the day before the appointment, which was appreciated. Although the booking was within a four-hour window, the plumber also called about 30 minutes before arriving, which was very helpful. Louis was polite, professional, and respectful throughout the visit. He quickly identified the issue, provided a very reasonable quote, and was able to complete the repair on the spot. Overall, I was very impressed with the service and communication from start to finish. I would happily recommend Your Local Tradesman and Louis, I would use them again in the future.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Bec! We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our service and Louis. Your feedback on our communication and professionalism means a lot to us. We look forward to assisting you again in the future!

I have just had a new hot water system installed yesterday after the last heat pump one only lasted 3 years. Brendan and his co worker installed a new basic storage one yesterday. They are the absolute best. They also did my full bathroom renovation last year in August. I am really happy to recommend Your Local Tradesmen to anyone.Truly outstanding service.
