Got a question about our electrical services or security system installation? Browse the answers below to learn more about how we work, what to expect, and how we can help in your home or business.
Yes — we offer a full 24/7 emergency electrical service across the entire Central Coast region. Whether it’s a power outage in the middle of the night or a sudden burning smell from your switchboard on the weekend, our team is ready to respond.
We know that some faults can’t wait until business hours, which is why we keep licensed electricians on call around the clock. As soon as you contact us, we’ll assess the situation and dispatch someone to your property as quickly as possible to keep your home or business safe.
In most cases, we aim to be at your property within an hour of your call. Response time depends on where you’re located and how far our closest technician is, but we always give an honest time estimate when you contact us.
Our team is spread across the Central Coast, so we can cover urgent jobs without major delays — especially for high-risk situations like electrical fires, tripping switchboards, or exposed wiring. Once your job is logged, we’ll keep in touch until the electrician arrives, so you’re not left waiting without updates.
If it’s safe and accessible, switch off the main power supply at your switchboard to help reduce any immediate risk. Do not touch any damaged power points, exposed wires, or appliances that seem faulty — even if the power is off. Keep people away from the affected area, especially children or pets, and don’t try to repair anything yourself.
The best action is to stay calm, stay safe, and wait for the licensed electrician to arrive and assess everything properly once on site.
Emergency callout costs usually start from around $180 and can go higher depending on the time, location, and complexity of the job. After-hours, weekend, and late-night bookings may carry additional charges due to urgent response and scheduling needs.
We always discuss pricing clearly before any work begins — so you’ll never be surprised by hidden fees or unexpected charges. Once we’ve inspected the issue, we provide a fixed quote on the spot so you can approve the cost before we proceed with repairs.
Yes, an adult must be present at the property when we arrive, including for all after-hours and weekend emergency bookings. This is required so our electrician can gain access to the fault, speak directly with someone on site, and get approval for any work that needs to be done.
If you’re a property owner booking on behalf of a tenant, we can liaise with them directly if needed — but someone over 18 still needs to be there when we attend. We’ll also send a message or call ahead to confirm our arrival, so you have time to be ready.
Yes, our team handles emergency electrical work across all property types — including private homes, rentals, and commercial buildings. We work closely with landlords, property managers, and tenants to resolve urgent faults quickly and safely.
For businesses, we understand that power issues can cause downtime and safety concerns, so we prioritise fast diagnosis and safe repairs to get you operational again. Whether it’s a unit with a blown fuse or a shopfront with no lighting, we respond with the same urgency and keep all parties informed throughout the job.
If you’re installing large appliances like a heat pump, induction cooktop, or air conditioner, it’s important to make sure your existing switchboard can handle the extra load. Many older switchboards don’t meet current safety standards and may not include modern circuit breakers or safety switches (RCDs).
Outdated boards with ceramic fuses are not designed for the electrical demand of today’s appliances and can pose serious risks. Our team can assess your switchboard and let you know if an upgrade is needed — and if so, we’ll install a new compliant board that’s safe, reliable, and ready for future use.
Rewiring is often needed in homes that are more than 40 years old, especially if they still have old wiring like VIR or cotton-insulated cables. Warning signs include flickering lights, burning smells near power points, frequent tripping, or discoloured outlets. These faults can indicate unsafe wiring that doesn’t meet current electrical codes.
ABC Electrical & Property Maintenance can carry out a full inspection and give you clear advice on whether your home needs full or partial rewiring to meet modern safety standards and avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
Yes — ceiling fans must be installed on a secure mount rated to hold their weight and rotation. Installing a fan on an unsuitable junction box can lead to instability, noise, or safety issues over time.
We make sure every ceiling fan is properly supported and safely wired, whether it’s for a bedroom, living room, or outdoor area. We can also install remote controls, wall switches, and light combinations to match how you want the fan to operate from day one.
As a general rule, homes should have a safety inspection every 5 to 10 years. If your property is older, being renovated, or hasn’t been checked in a long time, it’s smart to get it looked at sooner. Inspections are also a good idea when buying or selling, or if you’ve noticed any signs of electrical issues.
We offer detailed home safety checks that assess the condition of your wiring, switchboard, and electrical fittings — helping you catch problems early and avoid future hazards.
Yes, we can. ABC Electrical & Property Maintenance offers flexible scheduling, including after-hours and weekend work, so your business can keep running without interruption.
We understand that commercial premises like offices, retail stores, and hospitality venues often can’t shut down during the day. That’s why we’re available outside of standard business hours to carry out repairs, upgrades, or installations safely and efficiently.
Our team plans ahead, communicates clearly, and works to ensure minimal noise and disruption while still delivering fully compliant results.
Yes, our team regularly handles lighting upgrades for a wide range of commercial spaces, including offices, retail stores, restaurants, and warehouses. Whether you’re aiming to improve energy efficiency with LED lighting or upgrade to a better layout for task lighting and presentation, ABC Electrical & Property Maintenance can design and install a system that meets your needs.
We also install motion sensors, dimmers, and emergency lighting to ensure full compliance and functionality. Our work is neat, reliable, and tailored to enhance both safety and visual appeal in your workplace.
The installation time depends on the size of your home and the number of components involved. For most standard homes, a full security system with sensors, cameras, and a control panel can be installed in one day. Larger properties or those requiring custom wiring, smart home integration, or additional features may take a bit longer.
ABC Electrical & Property Maintenance will assess your property first, provide a clear timeline, and make sure the system is tested and fully operational before we leave.
Yes, we regularly install security camera systems in finished homes and take care to avoid damage to internal walls or ceilings. We use existing roof spaces, external cladding, and discreet conduit options to route cables cleanly while maintaining the look of your property.
If a wireless system is more suitable, we’ll recommend that to reduce install time and eliminate the need for internal wiring altogether. Every installation is carefully planned on-site to make sure your cameras are effective, secure, and installed with minimal disruption.
Basic home security system installations in Gosford usually range from $900 to $1,400, depending on the number of zones, camera types, and whether app integration is included. That price typically covers hardware, setup, professional installation, and a full demonstration of how to use the system.
Homes with more complex layouts or additional entry points may require extra components, which we always outline clearly in the quote. You’ll receive a fixed-price estimate before any work begins, so there are no surprises once the job is underway.
Yes, we can assess your current alarm setup and upgrade it to a modern, app-connected system that lets you monitor and control your property remotely. Depending on how old your current system is, we may be able to keep some components or recommend a full replacement to ensure smooth operation and compatibility.
Most upgrades are completed in a single visit and include system programming, app setup, and a full handover so you know exactly how to use it. You’ll gain remote access, live alerts, and a system that gives you full control from your smartphone, wherever you are.
Yes — we offer custom-designed systems that allow your alarm, lighting, CCTV, and intercom devices to work together as one integrated setup. This means motion detectors can trigger floodlights, intercoms can activate recording, and the whole system can be managed from a central control panel or smartphone app.
We assess your site, recommend compatible devices, and handle all installation and programming to ensure a seamless experience. Integration not only improves convenience but also strengthens overall property security by allowing systems to respond intelligently to threats.
Yes, part of our installation service includes assessing your property to identify the most effective and discreet positions for your security cameras. We look at key entry points, blind spots, high-traffic areas, and perimeter zones to ensure complete coverage without unnecessary overlap.
Our goal is to maximise visibility while keeping cameras out of reach and protected from weather or tampering. Before we begin installation, we’ll walk you through the proposed layout so you know exactly how your property will be monitored.
