Local sparkies, not a call centre

With 15 years in the trade, we specialise in home batteries and solar. We've also carried out work in Canberra schools and hold ACT Working with Vulnerable People registration, so you can trust us in schools and occupied homes.

Joey
Leading Tradesman
Joey runs our jobs on site and has years of experience with solar and battery installs. If he's not commissioning a battery system, you'll find him out on the golf course.

Hayden is a fast learner and keen to get stuck into whatever's put in front of him. When he's not on the tools, he's usually out somewhere with a fishing line in the water.
Reviews
What Canberrans say
★★★★★“Jake and the team installed our solar system over two days. The work quality and communication was excellent, and they worked with the Solar company we used to negotiate a much better price for us on our replacement/upgrade for our meter box. Really recommend them!”
★★★★★“Jacob & Joey were fabulous. They installed downlights & power points. Also, light switches with fabulous dimmers. Jacob made sure we had the most streamlined apparatus & it all looks perfect.”
★★★★★“Advanced Electrical was fantastic! The owner was very responsive and reliable. The work was great and I couldn’t be happier with the final results! 10/10”
★★★★★“Had Jacob and Joey from Advanced Electrical come out to do the electrical work for our new air con units and couldn’t be happier with the job. They were both really easy to deal with, turned up when they said they would and did a great job. They took the time to explain what they were doing and made sure everything was neat and tidy once they finished. It’s always good finding tradies who actually take pride in their work, and these two definitely do. Would happily recommend Jacob, Joey and Advanced Electrical and will definitely use them again in the future.”
★★★★★“Very happy with Jacob and his team’s work in installing our solar panels and battery. Super friendly and went the extra mile by replacing roof tiles. I highly recommend them.”
★★★★★“Great service - high quality work!”

FAQ
Common questions
Are you a Tesla Powerwall Certified Installer?
Yes. We're Tesla Powerwall Certified Installers, so your Powerwall is designed, installed and commissioned to Tesla's requirements by the same local electricians who'll support it afterwards.
Can you add a battery to my existing solar system?
Usually, yes. It depends on your current inverter, spare room in the switchboard and where the battery can legally be installed. That's why we look at the site before we quote.
Do I need solar to get a battery?
No, but solar makes a battery far more valuable, and the federal battery discount only applies to batteries connected to solar (new or existing). A battery without solar can still charge on cheap off-peak rates and give you blackout backup.
Is there a rebate for home batteries?
Yes. The federal Cheaper Home Batteries Program takes around 30% off a typical home battery, applied straight to your quote. You can also spread the rest of the cost with Brighte finance. See Rebates & finance for the details.
Do you offer finance?
Yes. We're a Brighte finance partner, so you can spread the cost of a battery, solar or EV charger, and we sort out the application for you alongside your quote. Just tick the finance box when you request a quote. Fees, terms and conditions apply, and all applications are subject to Brighte's credit approval criteria.
Which battery is best?
For most homes we recommend Tesla Powerwall, but it depends on your home. Powerwall 3 suits homes adding solar at the same time, and Powerwall 3AC suits existing solar; Sigenergy and Anker SOLIX are modular and expandable; Enphase pairs naturally with Enphase microinverters. We'll recommend one and explain why.
Do you offer emergency call-outs?
Yes. Our normal hours are Monday to Friday, 7am to 5pm, but we offer a 24/7 emergency service for urgent faults like power outages, burning smells or tripping that won't reset. Call 0421 939 489.
Do you take on small jobs?
Absolutely. Extra power points, light fittings, smoke alarms and fault finding are all part of what we do.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. ACT Electrical Licence #2016918, Contractors Licence #464444C, SAA accreditation #S3237586 and ARC Refrigerant Handling Licence #L172616 for split system air conditioning.
