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."

Areas We Provide Consumer Mains Replacement:
Perth Consumer Mains FAQs
What is a consumer main?
A consumer main is the cable that connects your home’s switchboard to the electricity network. It carries all the power into your property and is a critical part of your electrical system.
What are the risks for an old consumer main?
Old or damaged consumer mains can pose serious safety risks, including fire hazards, electrical faults, and power outages. They may also be non-compliant with current Western Power and Australian standards.
Do I need a licensed electrician to replace consumer mains in Perth?
Yes. In Western Australia, consumer mains must be installed or upgraded by a licensed electrician with Level 2 accreditation, so the work is legal, safe, and compliant.
What are the benefits for upgrading consumer mains?
Upgrading improves safety, ensures compliance, and supports modern power demands. It also reduces the risk of faults, improves reliability, and prepares your system for new appliances or home extensions.
How long does it typically take to install new consumer mains?
Consumer mains installation usually takes between one to three days, depending on site conditions, access, and the scope of work. Additional time may be required if the job involves trenching, meter relocations, or switchboard upgrades. Coordination with Western Power may also affect timeframes.
What are the costs involved in upgrading consumer mains in Perth?
Costs vary depending on cable size, installation type (overhead or underground), and site access. Our team provides clear, itemised quotes based on your property’s specific requirements.
Are there specific safety regulations for consumer mains installations?
Yes. All consumer mains work must comply with Western Power and Australian electrical standards. This includes the use of approved materials, correct cable sizing, and certified installation practices.
Can I upgrade my consumer mains without replacing my entire electrical system?
Yes. Consumer mains can be upgraded independently, though in some cases, related components like the switchboard or earthing may also need attention to ensure full compliance.
What is involved in the consumer mains replacement process?
We inspect your existing mains, identify faults or non-compliant cabling, and replace it with modern compliant cabling where required. If Western Power coordination is needed for isolation or reconnection, we manage that as part of the job.
