      💛 5% discount available for pensioners and emergency services workers

      This fixed price assumes the information you've given us is accurate, and that on the day: the switchboard is safe and compliant, roof/ceiling space is safely accessible, and there's nothing hidden (like damaged wiring or non-standard cabling) that changes the scope. If something's different once we're onsite, we'll walk you through it and agree on any change before we proceed, no surprise bills.

      When suits you?

      We're generally booked a little in advance, so the earliest date you can pick below reflects that. This is your preferred date and time, we'll confirm actual availability with you before it's locked in.

      Heads up: this doesn't book that slot directly, we may not have a tech free at that exact time. When you click "Book this job" below, we copy your quote and preferred time to your clipboard, then take you to our booking form, just paste it into the message box there so we get all the details in one go and can confirm a slot that works for both of us.

      This one needs a quick onsite quote

      Based on your answers about the property, we can't lock in a fixed price online, but we can give you an accurate quote after a short look at the job.

      Meet the team

      We're Ben and Em

      A husband-and-wife electrical team, on the tools together across Adelaide's northern suburbs.

      B

      Ben

      Solar & domestic electrician

      Ben is the meticulous half of the team, the type to double-check a job twice and still find one more thing to tidy up. He treats every home like it's his own, and genuinely aims to leave things better than he found them.

      Before going out on his own, Ben worked as a solar installer and servicer, fault-finding, diagnosing and repairing solar systems, so he's just as comfortable with panels and inverters as he is with switchboards. He also spent 6 years FIFO in the mining industry, with hands-on experience in explosives, machine operating, truck driving and occasionally team leading, work that demands precision and getting it right the first time. Those habits carried straight across into how he runs every job today.

      E

      Em

      Electrician & Apprentice of the Year

      Em is a fully qualified electrician and was named Apprentice of the Year. Her background is in industrial electrical work at Orora's glass bottling factory, fault-finding, diagnosing, repairing, and carrying out new installations and modifications.

      She's currently studying Electrical Engineering at university and works as a project manager for SA Power Networks, alongside being on the tools with Ben & Em's Electrical. Having a qualified female electrician on the job helps create a welcoming, respectful environment, especially for single women and families who want extra peace of mind.

      Ben, Em and their son

      When we're not on the tools, we're chasing after our son, who just turned one and has recently started walking (send help). Being parents ourselves means we understand exactly how much trust it takes to let someone into your home, and we don't take that lightly.

      We want women, families, and everyone in between to feel completely comfortable having us in their home, and to know they're getting honest, transparent pricing and straightforward service every time, no jargon, no surprises.

      We believe we're the first Adelaide electrical company offering genuine fixed pricing and clear instant quotes right on our website. We might not be the first to have a female electrician on the tools, but we're aiming to be the clearest, fairest and most transparent business in the industry, and we're proud to be trailblazing that shift.

      Supporting local matters to us too. Our logo was designed by a local artist, and we back local sports clubs and small businesses whenever we can, we'd rather see that money stay in the community than go somewhere else.

      Frequently asked questions

      Everything you need to know before booking.

      What bathroom exhaust fan do I need?
      It comes down to room size and whether you want heating. A 200mm flush-mounted fan suits most standard bathrooms and ensuites up to around 5-6 m², a 250mm fan gives more airflow for larger bathrooms, and if your roof space is restricted a side-ducted unit can vent sideways instead of straight up. If the room has no separate heating, a 3-in-1 combo (fan + heat lamps + light) covers both jobs in one fixture. Our instant quote tool walks through these options and gives you a fixed price on the spot.
      How much does an exhaust fan replacement cost?
      Install only (you supply the fan) starts from $190 + GST for a straight swap. Supply & install, where we source a quality unit for you, starts from around $239 + GST depending on the size and whether new ducting is needed. See our pricing guide for the full breakdown, or run it through the quote tool for your exact price.
      What does "supply and install" actually mean?
      Supply & install means we provide the fixture (fan, exhaust unit, downlight, whatever it is) as part of the price, then fit it, no separate trip to a shop needed. Install only means you've already bought or own the item, and we just handle the electrical work to fit it. Both options are priced separately in our quote tool so you can pick whichever suits.
      What's the difference between your fixed price and a normal quote?
      A traditional quote usually means waiting for a callback, describing the job over the phone, and hoping the final invoice matches what you were told. Our fixed price tool asks a few questions about the exact job and gives you a locked-in dollar figure immediately, no waiting, no guessing. It only steps back to a quick onsite quote for non-standard situations (double storey, unusual construction, restricted access) where a fair fixed price genuinely isn't possible without seeing it.
      Do you service my suburb?
      We service all of Adelaide, with a focus on the northern suburbs including Salisbury, Elizabeth, Gawler, Parafield, Modbury, Golden Grove, and everywhere in between.
      Are your prices fixed or will there be hidden costs?
      For the jobs listed in our pricing guide, we offer fixed prices with no hidden extras. For larger or more complex jobs, we provide a detailed written quote before any work begins. You'll always know exactly what you're paying.
      I'd feel more comfortable with a female tradie. Is that possible?
      Absolutely. Em is a fully qualified electrician and is often on the tools. Just mention it when you book and we'll do our best to accommodate you.
      How quickly can you come out?
      We aim to respond to all enquiries within one business day. For urgent jobs, please call us directly and we'll do our best to fit you in as soon as possible.
      Are you licensed and insured?
      Yes. Ben & Em's Electrical holds Electrical Contractor Licence PGE293439 and is fully insured. We operate under ABN 54 694 051 397.
      Do you offer any discounts?
      Yes! We offer a 5% discount for pensioners and emergency services workers (police, ambulance, fire, SES, and ADF). Just mention it when you get in touch and we'll apply it to your quote.
      Can you help me pick the right product for my home?
      Definitely! As Bunnings Trade Partners we're across a wide range of products and can advise on the best options for your home, budget and style preferences.
