Brad and Levi are both very friendly and approachable. They listen to what you say, offer advice and suggestions before giving you a quote. Once I accept the quote, they organise a time and turn up promptly to complete the job. There is no excuse of having to go and get materials once they arrive. The work is always completed and the work area left clean and tidy.I have used Limelight several times and have no hesitation in recommending them to friends who maybe looking for an electrician.

This company ticks all the boxes. They are professional, knowledgeable, timely, good communicators, friendly, tidy, etc. No, they are not the least expensive option you'll find out there, but you will most definitely get your money's worth. They do the job right the first time, use top-notch products and do it all with a smile. Brad and his team are worth it!

We booked limelight for what we thought was an issue with the AC as there was a funny smell in the room. They communicated really well and we're able to come out same day. Turns out it was a dead rat in the roof above the room. Nick probably would have been within his rights to tell us to get a pest control person in, but he got into the roof, removed the rat and spread rat poison around. Great, friendly and professional service that went above and beyond.

I used Limelight Electrix for the first time yesterday to do an electrical inspection/hard wire smoke alarms for the sale of a house. The team at Limelight Electrix made the process so easy from first contact to job finish. The team are very professional, on time, polite and easy to communicate with, the job was explained step by step and they were able to carry out the works immediately. Many thanks to the team at Limelight Electrix.

We have used Limelight Electrix on a number of occasions over the years. Each time Brad is very quick to reply and gets the job done, even at a last minute notice. We recently had Brad and Nic out to change over our lights to LEDs and to reposition some of the lights in our new ceiling. Nic was a fast, efficient worker and very clean. He tidied up any mess and was a pleasure to have around. After dealing with other trades people recently, it was so nice to have Brad and Nic. Limelight Electrix are reliable, courteous, neat, up front with costs and do what they say they are going to do! They also turn up on time. Brad and his team are the only electricians we will be using. Great service!

Brad not only arrived on time, but delivered a very high quality of work. He spent time with me to understand what was important to me so that he could best deliver value for money outcomes to me, considering my tight budget. Furthermore, where he or his team found any damaged roof tiles they fixed them straight away, or any issues with non-compliance (such as smoke detectors being out of date) which impacts my insurance policy, he promptly brought it to my attention and gave me the choice to fix it there and then or when my budget would allow for it.A very professional run outfit with friendly, dependable service delivering the highest levels of quality with a focus on best value outcomes. I would thoroughly recommend them to anyone.

Would highly recommend Brad and his team for any electrical work. We have just used Limelight again to complete a variety of work at our recently purchased house, this will be about the fifth time we have used them and every time we cannot fault Brads work.Whilst you may find cheaper quotes, you won’t find better quality - something we weren’t willing to comprise when dealing with electricity, not to mention presentation of our house. We had one minor hiccup with a phone line, they were straight back out to resolve it at no cost. They always call on the way to the job and stick to the agreed times.

Contact Limelight for all electrical work. Different electricians over the years but always deal with director Brad.I have had minor and major electrical work. Ranging from aeiling fans, lights and power outlet replaced, new reverse cycle A/C install through to a completely new 3 phase power cable and new fuse box to replace existing.On time:Attend when they day they will. Always call if they can come early. Attend after hours promptly.Service:The electricians are keen, enthusiastic and hard working. Brad seems to know how to employ and train tradies with a great attitude. Of special note is the focus cleaning up after domestic work. I appreciate it.Quotes:They spend time providing realistic quotes before any work and then adhere to the quote. Unexpected problems they cope with and talk through any variations. I never been asked for more money at the end of the job.Safety:The electricians are very safety conscious. I recall a remark, "I'm not allowed to work beyond 8 hours on the tools because that's when you get tired and start making mistakes." They always call Brad when in any doubt to make sure that the work they are doing complies with regulations, "After all, it's my name and license on the safety electrical certificate."

Perth Switchboard FAQs
Why might I need a switchboard upgrade?
You might need an upgrade if your current switchboard is outdated, frequently causes power outages, or uses fuses instead of circuit breakers. Upgrades are also necessary if you’re planning to renovate your home or add more high-power appliances.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take in Perth?
Typically, a switchboard upgrade can be completed in a day. However, the duration depends on the complexity of your existing setup and the specific requirements of your home. A timeline will be given to you before any work is started, this way any alternative arrangements can be made for you and your home.
What are the signs that my switchboard needs upgrading?
There are several common signs that indicate your switchboard may need an upgrade, including:
- Frequent power trips or blown fuses
- Flickering lights or buzzing sounds from the switchboard
- An old fuse-style switchboard instead of modern circuit breakers
- Burning smells, heat marks, or discolouration around the board
- Limited capacity when using multiple appliances at the same time
- No safety switches (RCDs) installed
- Recent renovations or plans to add high-power appliances
If you notice any of these issues, it is a strong indicator your switchboard may no longer meet current WA safety standards and should be inspected by a licensed Perth electrician.
What common switchboard issues can be avoided with professional repairs and servicing by licensed electricians?
Regular switchboard repairs and servicing by licensed electricians can help prevent many common electrical problems, including:
- Loose or deteriorated connections that cause power outages
- Overloaded circuits leading to frequent tripping
- Worn or faulty circuit breakers and safety switches
- Heat damage and burning smells caused by ageing components
- Corrosion or moisture damage inside the switchboard
- Unidentified faults that increase the risk of electrical fires
- Sudden power loss affecting appliances and home systems
Having your switchboard professionally serviced helps catch these issues early, keeping your electrical system safe, reliable, and compliant with Australian standards.
What benefits will I notice after upgrading my switchboard?
After a switchboard upgrade, you will notice several practical improvements around your home, including:
- Improved electrical safety with modern circuit breakers and RCD protection
- Reduced risk of electrical faults and fire hazards
- Fewer power trips and more stable power supply
- Capacity to add new circuits for renovations or additional appliances
- Ability to run multiple appliances at the same time without overload issues
- Better compliance with current Australian electrical safety standards
- Overall, a modern switchboard gives you safer, more reliable power and peace of mind for everyday use.
Do I need to upgrade my switchboard to install solar panels?
Often, installing solar panels requires a switchboard upgrade to manage the increased power input effectively. It’s essential to consult a qualified electrician who can assess whether your current switchboard meets the necessary requirements for a solar installation.
What safety measures do you take?
Every upgrade includes a full safety check to make sure your switchboard meets current standards. If we find asbestos or any other hazards, we’ll remove and dispose of it safely in line with WA regulations.
Do you charge a callout fee or have hidden costs?
No. We offer a $0 callout fee and upfront pricing on all electrical work. What we quote is what you pay — no surprises.
Do you provide emergency switchboard repairs?
Yes. We handle emergency meter box repairs across Perth, especially during winter when issues like water leaks or overloading are common. Our electricians are available to get your power back on safely and quickly.
