Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you service?
Our skilled electricians are available throughout Ballina and surrounding areas, including East Ballina, West Ballina, Lennox Head, Skennars Head, Alstonville, Wollongbar, Wardell, Tintenbar, Cumbalum, and Empire Vale.
What is a Level 2 electrician, and when would I need one?
A Level 2 electrician is licensed to work on the electricity network beyond your meter, including mains connections, service lines, and metering equipment. They’re accredited by local energy authorities and handle specialised tasks like new connections, power upgrades, meter relocations, mains repairs, and reconnections after disconnection. Whether you’re a homeowner needing a safe connection for a renovation or a business upgrading its electrical supply, a Level 2 electrician ensures your power systems are compliant, reliable, and safely connected to the grid.
When should I consider upgrading my electrical system?
You should consider upgrading your electrical system if you experience frequent power trips, flickering lights, or notice that your switchboard or wiring looks outdated. Upgrades are also recommended when adding new high-demand appliances, renovating your home or business, installing air conditioning or EV chargers, or expanding your property. Older systems may not meet current safety standards or handle today’s power usage, so a licensed electrician can assess your setup and recommend upgrades to keep your electrical system safe, efficient, and compliant.
When should I call an emergency electrician in Ballina?
Call an emergency electrician in Ballina if there’s any immediate risk to your safety or property, for example, power outages affecting only your home, burning smells, smoke, exposed wires, sparks, electric shocks, or water leaking near electrical fittings. These situations can escalate quickly, so it’s best not to wait. Mick Sawtell Electrical provides 24/7 emergency electrical service in Ballina and the Northern Rivers area. You can reach them anytime at (02) 6621 2154 or 0439 460 408.
Do electricians in Ballina need to be licensed and insured?
Yes — electricians in Ballina (NSW) must be properly licensed and insured to legally and safely carry out electrical work. For example, Mick Sawtell Electrical holds a valid NSW electrical licence (178580C) and operates as an Essential Energy approved Level 2 electrician, which demonstrates they meet regulatory requirements for electrical contractors in the region.
