The previous electrician in Ripponlea was a fantastic professional who was always on time, qualified and did a great job. He was also very professional and always able to find what you were looking for. Recently however, a change of location and company has meant that this electrician is no longer as reliable as he used to be. We recently asked him for some advice on a local adding electrical outlets project which needed some careful attention.
We asked him if he could recommend a local electrician in Ripponlea that we could use for a simple switchboard replacement. He replied: I can... but it won't be quick, I'll need to bring it in. We were surprised at his response and didn't believe him when he said it would be quick.
The problem we were faced with was a surge in the demand for electricity in the area. More people were installing new hot water and air conditioning units. The demand for electricity also increased as the end of the summer period approached. This meant that there was a huge increase in demand for the supply of electricians. So naturally, prices increased as well. A good local electrician should be able to help you with smoke detector problem and also help you fix it if needed.
We went to a couple of electricians to find one that would be able to solve our problem quickly. The first one we saw was from their local area so he was pretty quick to provide us with an estimate. The problem was that he was only willing to take on jobs that would earn him a fair amount of money. Unfortunately, most of the time his prices were very expensive.
Next, we visited an electrician in Ripponlea who also had a huge local following. The price he charged for our project was slightly higher than the guy from our local area but still much cheaper than other electricians in Ripponlea. Unfortunately, he also wasn't willing to undertake jobs that weren't going to pay out enough to justify his expense. It didn't really seem like either of these guys was going to be able to sort out our problem.
Finally, we found an electrician from Brisbane who also had a large following. This guy also seemed quite busy so that was encouraging but unfortunately not quick to undertake jobs that weren't going to pay out enough to justify his expense. Unfortunately, he also didn't have a switchboard that was reliable enough to get our calls answered promptly. We were disappointed but at least got someone who was able to get back to us. It's always better than nothing.
I think we now understand why there are two types of electricians. A guy who charges high prices because he has a big local following and a guy who is able to deal with our specific problem because he has a switchboard with reliability and availability. When you have a problem in your home or workplace, it's always worth spending a bit more so that you can get your problem solved quickly and professionally. By hiring a reliable and well-equipped electrician in Ripponlea, we were able to do just that. They say first impressions count, but they certainly did for us.

In conclusion, it was a good experience to work with all the different electricians we dealt with. I can recommend both of them to anyone looking for a reliable local electrician. Their switchboards are both easy to use and they are both fully equipped to handle any problems you may encounter.
