Are quotations for EV charger installations free?

this fee is deducted from your final invoice if the quote is accepted. 📞 Call us or send a WhatsApp message to get started.

We operate transparently—labour and materials are billed separately. You’ll receive a parts quote directly from our trusted electrical wholesaler (with our trade discount applied).

on the day of job completion.

Will your emergency electrician restore power the same day?
In most cases,
yes—100%. We’ve resolved power issues caused by fire, flood, storm damage, faulty wiring, and more. As long as the power supply from the network provider is active,
we will restore power on the same day.
Do you charge a call-out fee for emergency work?
We operate on a
simple, flat-rate structure for emergency call-outs. Most issues can be resolved within the first hour. Costs may vary slightly depending on travel distance and whether additional parts are needed, but
