Quick Answers
Can Murphy's Electrical do same-day electrical repairs in Nowra?
Yes, in most cases we can offer same-day service for urgent electrical repairs across Nowra and the Shoalhaven. Call us on 0423 529 267 and we will do our best to get to you as quickly as possible.
What licence should I check for before hiring an electrician in NSW?
In New South Wales, all electricians must hold a valid Electrical Contractor's Licence issued by NSW Fair Trading. You can verify any electrician's licence at verify.licence.nsw.gov.au. Murphy's Electrical holds Licence 275815C.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Signs that your switchboard may need attention include frequently tripping circuits, no safety switches installed, ceramic fuse holders instead of modern circuit breakers, or a switchboard that feels warm to touch. If your home is more than 20 years old and has never had a switchboard upgrade, we recommend booking an inspection.
What is a safety switch and do I need one?
A safety switch (RCD) monitors the flow of electricity through a circuit and shuts power off within milliseconds if it detects a dangerous fault. Under NSW regulations, new residential installations must have safety switches on all circuits. Older homes may not have them fitted. Murphy's Electrical can test your existing safety switches and install new ones where required.
Is your electrical work guaranteed?
Yes. All work carried out by Murphy's Electrical and Data is backed by our workmanship guarantee. If
