Why use a matching service instead of searching yourself?
Finding a licensed electrician in Sydney on your own means calling around, waiting for callbacks, and hoping the tradesperson you find is properly licensed and insured. Connect Electric does the verification upfront — we check every electrician's NSW electrical contractor licence number against the Fair Trading register, confirm current public liability insurance, and review their complaint history before they join our network. You get multiple quotes from pre-vetted tradespeople without the legwork.
How We Vet Every Electrician
We don't just list electricians — we check each one against the NSW Fair Trading licence register before they join our network.
Licence Verification
Every electrician is checked against the NSW Fair Trading licence register before joining our network. We verify their electrical contractor licence number, licence class, and expiry date.
Insurance Check
We require a minimum of $20M public liability insurance and confirm cover is current before any electrician can receive leads. Certificates are re-verified annually.
Quality Track Record
New applicants must provide references and pass a trade knowledge assessment. We review complaint history with Fair Trading and remove any electrician with unresolved disputes.
CCEW Compliance
All electricians in our network issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) on completion of every job — as required by NSW legislation. This protects you legally and ensures work is safe.
What happens if something goes wrong? In the unlikely event of a dispute, Connect Electric will facilitate communication between you and the electrician and, where necessary, assist with lodging a complaint to NSW Fair Trading. Because all our electricians are properly licensed and insured, you have full recourse through the NSW licensing system. We also maintain our own resolution process and can remove underperforming tradespeople from the network. Your protection is built in at every level — from the licence check before the job starts, to the CCEW certificate when it's finished.
What Our Customers Expect
Illustrative examples of the experience we aim to deliver on every job.
“Connect Electric matched me with a great sparky for a full switchboard upgrade. He turned up on time, gave me a CCEW at the end and the price was exactly what was quoted. No hidden charges.”
“I had a complete power failure on a Sunday evening — panicking. Within 90 minutes an electrician was at my door. Traced a faulty circuit in 20 minutes, fixed it, and gave me paperwork. Absolute lifesaver.”
“Used Connect Electric for a Level 2 ASP job — overhead to underground service conversion. The electrician handled all the Ausgrid paperwork and kept me informed throughout. Wouldn't have known where to start otherwise.”
These are illustrative examples of the outcomes we aim to deliver. Individual results may vary.

Ausgrid vs Endeavour Energy — Which Network Are You On?
Eastern suburbs, CBD, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Inner West, Lower North Shore and parts of the Hunter.
Western Sydney, Hills District, South West Sydney, Penrith, Campbelltown, Wollondilly and the Illawarra.
Not sure which network you're on? Your electricity bill will show your distributor. Alternatively, your address postcode is a reliable indicator — postcodes west of Parramatta are generally Endeavour Energy; eastern suburbs and North Shore are Ausgrid. Our Level 2 ASPs are accredited with both networks and will handle the paperwork and coordination with the distributor on your behalf.

Electrical emergencies are dangerous — don't wait. Our emergency network covers all Sydney suburbs with electricians available around the clock.

EV Chargers & Smart Energy
Future-proof your Sydney home with EV charging, solar and battery storage — all installed by licensed electricians who know the NSW grid.
Home EV Charger Install

Switchboard Upgrade
Upgrade your switchboard and consumer mains to handle EV charging loads.
Solar + EV Integration
Solar export optimisation so your car charges from rooftop solar when available.

NSW-specific note: Home EV charger installation in NSW requires a licensed electrician and, in some cases, a Level 2 ASP if a new service connection or metering upgrade is needed. Our electricians are familiar with both Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy requirements for new load connections and can handle the network application paperwork if your charger requires a service upgrade. All EV charger installations comply with AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and relevant Australian Standards for EV supply equipment.
