Best electricians in Broome and the Kimberley (2026)
Table of Contents
These are the best-rated electricians working Broome and the wider Kimberley, from Cable Beach and Old Broome across Djugun, Bilingurr and Roebuck Estate. They’re ranked on real Google reviews, not on who paid us. This is a small, very remote Kimberley market a long way north of Perth, so rather than pad a list to ten we’ve kept it to the six genuine, review-backed local sparkies worth calling. Below you’ll find what electrical work actually costs up here in 2026, why the wet season and cyclone country change the job, the red flags that tell you to hang up the phone, and a quick checklist to run before you let anyone near your switchboard.

- Google reviews do the ranking. We start with every electrician’s live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled fresh from Google Maps across Broome, Cable Beach and Djugun.
- Rating, weighted by volume. A 5.0 from a handful of jobs isn’t proof yet, so we weight the score by review count. A perfect score backed by two dozen customers sits ahead of an equally perfect score from a handful. It also means a strong rating with a deeper review base can outrank a thin perfect score.
- Smaller, remote market. Broome doesn’t have ten high-volume electricians the way Perth does, and it’s roughly 2,200km from the city, so the field is small. Instead of stretching the list with padding, we’ve listed only real domestic electrical contractors carrying genuine reviews, a minimum rating of 4.3 and at least three reviews. That comes to six. The review counts here are thin and the top scores are close, so treat the list as a near tie past the leader and get a couple of quotes.
- Licence matters. Every business here trades as a licensed electrical contractor. We still tell you how to check the EC number yourself before you hire, see the checklist.
- Auto-electrical, supply houses and one-review listings left out. Auto-electricians and electrical wholesalers show up all over these searches in a remote town, but they’re not who you call for the house, so we’ve kept them off along with any listing carrying only a review or two.
- Paid spots are labelled, and never jump the queue. When a business pays for a “Featured” spot it’s marked as such. The review-based order below does not change to favour a payer. Right now, no spots are sold.
All Action Electrical
A clean 5.0 across 24 reviews is the biggest body of proof on this list by a clear margin, and holding a perfect rating over that many jobs in a town the size of Broome is a genuinely strong result. That depth of verified feedback is exactly what the volume weighting rewards, which is why they sit a clear first. From a new power point or a switchboard upgrade to hard-worked air conditioning and fault finding across Broome and Cable Beach, they’re the standout pick when you want the most proven local name on the job.
View listing & contact ▸4Shore Electrical & Data
A perfect 5.0 across 14 reviews, the second-deepest review base on this list. Handling both the electrical and the data and communications side is a real plus in a town where NBN, Starlink and network cabling matter as much as power. A smaller sample than the leader, which is why it lands second on the weighting, but the run is unblemished. A dependable pick for power points, downlights, data cabling and renovation work around Broome and Roebuck.
View listing & contact ▸Parallel Electrical Service
A perfect 5.0 across 7 reviews and another local name with an unblemished record. The sample is thinner than the two above, which is why it sits third on the weighting, but every job on the board has landed well. A solid option for switchboard work, safety switches, air con circuits and shed or workshop power around Broome and Bilingurr.

4.5 (4)
A note on the ranking: All Action Electrical leads on a 5.0 from 24 jobs, comfortably the biggest review base in town, which the volume weighting keeps a clear first. After that it’s tight. 4Shore Electrical & Data (5.0 from 14) and Parallel Electrical Service (5.0 from 7) follow on the same perfect rating with the next-deepest bases, then Easy Electrical (5.0 from 6). North West Electrical Contractors holds a perfect 5.0 too but on just 3 reviews, so it sits fifth, and Broome Electrical Services rounds out the list on a 4.5 from 4, where the rating matches our baseline so the reviews give it no lift. The counts past the leader are small and close, so treat that group as a near tie and get a couple of quotes. We list only real, review-bearing domestic electricians and never pad the list, which is why there are six here and not ten. Auto-electricians, electrical wholesalers and any listing with only a review or two were excluded so this stays a list of actual local sparkies you’d call for the house.
What electrical work actually costs in Broome and the Kimberley (2026)
Nobody likes ringing a sparky blind on price. These are honest ballpark ranges for the common jobs around Broome, Cable Beach and Djugun, GST included. They’re a guide to keep you from being overcharged, not a quote. Electrical work is one of the more predictable trades to price, but prices up in the Kimberley run well above metro Perth because of the distance and freight, so always get the job priced in writing before work starts.
| Job | Typical range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Call-out + first 30-60 min | $140-$240 | After-hours, weekends, longer drive out to Roebuck, the stations or Derby |
| Hourly rate | $130-$200/hr | Emergency work, older wiring, roof-space access in Kimberley heat and humidity |
| Replace or install a power point | $190-$350 | New cable run, cheaper per point in bulk |
| Light fitting / downlight swap | $130-$280 | Designer or smart fittings, multiple points |
| Ceiling fan install | $210-$460 | No existing wiring, high or raked ceilings |
| Safety switch (RCD) install | $200-$450 | Old board, extra circuits to protect |
| Split-system aircon install (elec. side) | $320-$1,500+ | New circuit, cyclone-rated brackets, long cable run |
| Shed / workshop power + subboard | $700-$3,600+ | Distance from house, trenching, three-phase for tools |
| Switchboard upgrade | $1,100-$3,100+ | Asbestos backing panel, old fuses, rewiring to code |
| Solar / battery hook-up (elec. side) | $550-$2,400+ | Board upgrade, inverter location, distance to meter |
| Full house rewire | $6,000-$18,000+ | Size and age of home, access, fittings, freight on materials |
Kimberley call-outs run higher than metro Perth, and jobs out past town toward Roebuck, the Dampier Peninsula, Derby or the pastoral stations pick up extra for travel and freight on materials. Broome is its own kind of job. It runs hot and humid year-round with a proper monsoon wet season, so nearly every home leans on hard-worked split-system or ducted air conditioning that needs the electrical side serviced, and roof-space work in that heat is slow going. Just as important, this is cyclone country, right in the firing line through the wet: outdoor gear, aircon brackets, solar mounts and switchboards need to be rated and mounted for it, and a lot of insurers and builders expect boards kept clear of flood height. Salt air off the Indian Ocean and the fine red pindan dust get into everything, so sealed, marine-grade enclosures earn their keep on anything outside. Workshops and sheds often want three-phase for serious tools and compressors, and a big chunk of local housing is company, tourism or make-good managed, so landlord work is common. WA law requires at least two safety switches (RCDs) protecting all circuits before a home is sold or rented, so factor that in if you’re about to list or let. A licensed electrician should give you a fixed price or a not-to-exceed figure before starting. If they can’t, that’s a red flag (see below).
Don’t get ripped off: red flags
- No EC licence number, anywhere. In WA, all electrical work must be done by a licensed electrical contractor, even swapping a light switch. If they won’t give you an EC number on the quote or invoice, walk away, no exceptions.
- No electrical safety certificate. After notifiable work you should receive an electrical safety certificate. If a sparky gets vague about paperwork, that tells you plenty.
- Cash only, no receipt, no written quote. No paper trail means no warranty and no comeback if it fails. You’re carrying all the risk.
- Open-ended hourly with no cap. “We’ll see how we go” is how a $300 job becomes $900, and the travel time can stack up fast out here. Get a written quote or a not-to-exceed price before they lift a tool.
- Outdoor gear that isn’t rated for the coast or cyclones. Standard fittings, brackets and enclosures don’t last in Kimberley salt, pindan dust and cyclone winds. If a sparky won’t spec sealed, cyclone-rated gear for anything outside, get a second opinion before it fails in the next big blow.
- Selling a full switchboard or rewire for a simple fault. “The whole board needs replacing” when it might be one tripped circuit or a $250 fix. On any big-ticket call, get a second quote.
Before you hire: quick checklist
- Licence. Confirm the electrical contractor’s EC number and check it with Building and Energy WA (DEMIRS). All electrical work in WA must be done by a licensed electrician.
- Insurance. Ask for current public liability cover, it protects your home if something goes wrong.
- Written quote. Itemised and in writing, before work starts. Out here, ask that travel and any material freight are spelled out too. Verbal prices have a way of growing.
- Cyclone and coastal rating. For anything mounted outside, ask that fittings, brackets and enclosures are sealed and rated for the coast and cyclone season. It saves you a repeat call after the next big wet.
- Safety certificate. Confirm you’ll get an electrical safety certificate for any notifiable work, and that parts warranties are passed to you.
- Recent reviews. Look for recent, specific reviews, not just a big number. A steady stream of detailed 5-star jobs beats one old burst of them, and it matters more in a smaller market where a single review can swing a rating.
Frequently asked
How did you rank these electricians?
By their live Google star rating and the number of reviews behind it, pulled from Google Maps across Broome, Cable Beach and Djugun. We weight the rating by review volume so a proven score from two dozen customers isn’t leapfrogged by a perfect score from a handful. That’s why All Action Electrical, on a 5.0 with the biggest review base in town, leads the list, and why the thinner scores sit below even where the star rating is identical. All six trade as licensed electrical contractors.
Why only six, not ten?
Because Broome is a small, very remote Kimberley market and we won’t pad a list to hit a round number. We list only genuine domestic electrical contractors carrying real reviews, a rating of at least 4.3 and at least three reviews. That comes to six here. Stretching it further would mean adding one-review listings, auto-electricians or electrical wholesalers that aren’t really house-call sparkies, which would make the page less honest, not more useful.
Are these paid placements?
No. This list is ordered on Google review data. Businesses can pay for a “Featured” spot at the top, which is clearly labelled, but paying never changes the review-based order below. As of this update, no spots are sold.
Do I really need a licensed electrician for small jobs?
In WA, yes. Almost all electrical work, even replacing a power point or a light switch, must legally be done by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work can void your home insurance and leave you liable if something fails. You can change a bulb and plug things in, that’s about it.
Anything different about electrical work in Broome?
A fair bit. It’s hot and humid year-round with a proper monsoon wet season, so nearly every home runs air conditioning that gets worked hard and needs the electrical side serviced, and roof-space jobs are slow going. This is also cyclone country and right in the firing line through the wet, so outdoor fittings, aircon brackets, solar mounts and switchboards need to be rated and mounted for it, and boards are best kept clear of flood height. Salt air off the Indian Ocean and fine red pindan dust get into outdoor gear, so sealed, marine-grade enclosures are worth the extra. Being around 2,200km from Perth, freight on materials and travel time add up too, so a local Kimberley electrician who knows the conditions will price and spec it properly.
How often is this page updated?
Monthly. Ratings and review counts move, new electricians earn their spot, and we re-pull the data so the list stays honest and current.
