Frequently Asked Questions
You will find answers to all of your most common Electrical Services related questions located here.
What areas do you serve?
SJC Electricals proudly provides residential and commercial electrical services across Melbourne and its surrounding suburbs. Contact us to confirm we service your specific location.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, absolutely. SJC Electricals is fully licensed, bonded, and insured. Our electricians are highly trained and committed to meeting all local and national electrical codes. Your safety and peace of mind are our top priorities.
How do I schedule a service?
Scheduling service is easy! You can call us directly at 0409 122 455, fill out our online contact form, or email us at steve.j.c@outlook.com. We offer flexible scheduling to accommodate your needs.
Do you offer free estimates?
Yes, we provide free, no-obligation estimates for most jobs. We'll assess your needs, discuss your options, and provide a transparent, upfront quote before any work begins.
Why do my lights keep flickering?
Flickering lights can be simple (a loose bulb) or indicate a more serious issue like a faulty connection, overloaded circuit, or problem with your main electrical panel. It's best to have one of our electricians diagnose the issue to ensure your home is safe.
How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?
For older homes (40+ years), an inspection every 5-10 years is recommended. For newer homes, an inspection every 10 years is sufficient. You should also get an inspection before buying a home, after a major renovation, or if you notice any warning signs like frequent breaker trips.
What does it mean if my circuit breaker keeps tripping?
A tripping breaker is a safety feature that prevents overheating and potential fires. It's usually caused by an overloaded circuit, a short circuit, or a ground fault. We can identify the root cause and implement a safe, permanent solution.
Can you help with energy-efficient lighting upgrades?
Absolutely. We specialise in retrofitting existing commercial lighting with modern, energy-efficient LED solutions. This can significantly reduce your overhead costs, improve lighting quality for your Melbourne business, and may qualify you for utility rebates.
What should I do if I smell burning or see sparks?
This is a potential emergency. Immediately shut off the power to the affected circuit at your breaker panel if it is safe to do so. Do not touch any electrical switches or appliances. Leave the area and call both your fire department and SJC Electricals for emergency service at 0409 122 455.
Why did my power go out in just one part of my house?
This typically indicates a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse that controls that specific area. First, check your main electrical panel. If the breaker has tripped and continues to trip after you reset it, there is a fault in the circuit that requires professional attention from our Melbourne electricians.
