Question 4

What do you like most about your job?

Accepted Answer

I love the flexibility my job gives me - I can fit in with my customers - if they want an early start or a weekend job - we will work with you to make things easy for you.

Question 5

What questions should a customer ask to hire the right service professional?

Accepted Answer

All Electrical Contractors must hold a valid Licence - always check you are using a licensed electrician - you can check online to see if the Company/Person has an "EC" number

Question 6

What questions do customers commonly ask and how would you answer them?

Accepted Answer

I get asked a lot - "how much for a powerpoint?" Without seeing a property it's hard to give an accurate quote, you may have a two storey house, you may have metal trusses, you may have a tin roof - all these things and more can affect the cost of doing the work. The best thing is always for me to do a site inspection and and OBLIGATION FREE quote.

Question 7

What makes you the most reliable and trustworthy person for the job?

Accepted Answer

I have a current Police Clearance and a current Working with Children check so you can feel comfortable and safe. For many years I worked in the emergency services and am sensitive to clients needs.

Question 8

Why should a customer hire you over another service provider?

Accepted Answer

Surfside Electrical provides a trustworthy, friendly, high quality service for domestic, residential and commercial clients throughout the Perth metropolitan area.  These services include (but are not limited to) the installation of power points, down lights, ceiling fans, installing safety switches and smoke alarms, light fittings, maintenance, pool and spa connections, home renovations, alfresco lighting, energy saving lighting and fault finding.   Having a tradesman in your home can initially be a little awkward and uncomfortable but Brett has a current National Police Clearance, a Working With Children Check along with comprehensive insurance cover to give customers extra peace of mind. Surfside Electrical firmly believes in good communication, timeliness and leaving your home clean after completion of work.

Question 9

What are the typical things that you need to know before you can provide a quote to a customer?

Accepted Answer

We will normally need to know if you have a tin or tile roof and whether you have wood or steel beams in your roof space. If you have supplied materials we may even ask you where you purchased them - only because through our experience some retail products are better than others.

Question 10

How can a customer save money before you start the work? Please give 3 tips

Accepted Answer

If you require trench digging - save money and do it yourself before we come, we will advise how deep and where. (Don't forget to Dial before you dig). Let us quote you for materials, we pass on our wholesale discounts and can often get downlights cheaper than you can get at retail.

Question 11

Are there any special offers you would like to offer to Oneflare customers?

Accepted Answer

If you get a quote from another electrician we are always happy to see if we can beat it or match it - we pride ourselves not only on being affordable but also the high standard of service we provide our customers.

Question 12

What makes your pricing competitive?

Accepted Answer

We will always look at competitors quotes and if we can match them or better them we will. The quotes we provide are accurate and we have a policy that if the job comes in cheaper than expected we always pass that saving onto the customer.

Question 13

How do you normally charge for your service?

Accepted Answer

We don't charge a call out fee and we don't charge a minimum rate. We don't charge you for the time it takes to collect materials and we don't charge travel time if you're local.

Question 14

Is there a particular aspect of your trade or industry that you specialise in?

Accepted Answer

Replace your Halogen down lights with LEDs. Save money on your electricity bill and never change a globe again. Call us and ask us to send you through some photos of available lights

Question 15

What experience, skills, qualifications or training do you have to make you the right person for the job?

Accepted Answer

After training for my electrical licence I gained experience in the UK and Canada. Upon my return I joined the emergency services and pride myself on integrity and honesty. Customers can trust my quotes, there are no hidden costs.
