- 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 Bunbury, Australind and Eaton.
- 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 proven rating from hundreds of customers isn’t beaten by a perfect score from a few. It also means a very strong 4.9 backed by a big review base can sit ahead of some perfect scores with thinner bases.
- 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 and caravan power left out. The South West is thick with auto-electricians and 12-volt caravan and off-grid specialists. They’re real trades, but they’re not who you call for the house, so we’ve kept them off this list 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.
NIXON Bunbury – Electrical, Air, Solar
A 4.9 across 708 reviews is far and away the biggest body of proof in Greater Bunbury, and holding that rating over seven hundred jobs is a serious result. Covering electrical, air conditioning and solar under one roof, they’re a strong first call for everything from a new power point to a split-system install or a battery hook-up right across Bunbury, Australind and Eaton. That much verified feedback is why the volume weighting puts them first, ahead of thinner perfect scores.
View listing & contact ▸Integrity Electrical South West
A perfect 5.0 across 95 reviews and the top clean-sheet score in the region on a solid base. A deep, steady run of happy customers puts them second overall, and they’re a safe call for domestic and commercial work from the city out through Dalyellup and Gelorup.
View listing & contact ▸Western Electrical Co
A clean 5.0 across 79 reviews and another Bunbury operator with a serious run of proof behind it. Any of the top few here is a solid first call; the order between them comes down to review weight and rating, not a gap in quality.
View listing & contact ▸5.0 (29)
A note on the ranking: NIXON leads on a 4.9 from 708 jobs, the biggest review base in the region by a distance, which the volume weighting keeps ahead of the perfect scores below because that much proof counts. Integrity Electrical South West and Western Electrical Co follow on clean 5.0s from strong local bases. Inghams takes fourth on a 4.9 carrying 105 reviews, the second-biggest count here, which keeps it ahead of several thinner 5.0s. Past the top few the counts step down a little, so treat the rest as genuinely strong operators worth a quote. We list only real, review-bearing electricians and never pad the list. Auto-electrical, caravan and off-grid mobile specialists, and listings 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 Bunbury (2026)
Nobody likes ringing a sparky blind on price. These are honest ballpark ranges for the common jobs around Bunbury, Australind and Eaton, 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 always get the job priced in writing before work starts.
| Job | Typical range | What pushes it up |
|---|---|---|
| Call-out + first 30-60 min | $90-$150 | After-hours, weekends, longer drive to rural blocks |
| Hourly rate | $95-$150/hr | Emergency work, older wiring, tight roof-space access |
| Replace or install a power point | $150-$260 | New cable run, cheaper per point in bulk |
| Light fitting / downlight swap | $100-$220 | Designer or smart fittings, multiple points |
| Ceiling fan install | $160-$360 | No existing wiring, high or raked ceilings |
| Safety switch (RCD) install | $160-$360 | Old board, extra circuits to protect |
| Shed / studio power + subboard | $500-$2,500+ | Distance from house, trenching, three-phase |
| Bore pump / reticulation wiring | $250-$900+ | New supply run, weatherproofing, distance from board |
| Switchboard upgrade | $850-$2,200+ | Asbestos backing panel, old ceramic fuses, rewiring to code |
| EV charger install | $800-$2,200 | Long cable run from board to garage, board upgrade |
| Full house rewire | $4,500-$13,000+ | Size and age of home, access, fittings |
Regional call-outs run a touch higher than metro Perth, and jobs out to the semi-rural blocks around Brunswick Junction, Roelands and Gelorup pick up extra for travel. Bunbury is its own kind of job. Down along the coast and around the Leschenault Estuary at Australind and Pelican Point, salt air corrodes outdoor gear faster, so meter boxes, switchboards and external power points wear out sooner. Older weatherboard and brick homes through central Bunbury, South Bunbury and Withers often still carry ceramic-fuse boards that need bringing up to code. Plenty of newer estates out at Treendale, Millbridge and Dalyellup are solar-ready or already have panels, and battery and EV-charger work is picking up fast. 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 $200 job becomes $700. Get a written quote or a not-to-exceed price before they lift a tool.
- Selling a full switchboard or rewire for a simple fault. “The whole board needs replacing” when it might be one tripped circuit or a $200 fix. On any big-ticket call, especially in the older cottages around central Bunbury and South Bunbury, 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. Verbal prices have a way of growing.
- 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.
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 Bunbury, Australind and Eaton. We weight the rating by review volume so a proven score from hundreds of customers isn’t leapfrogged by a perfect score from a handful. That same weighting is why NIXON, on a 4.9 across 708 reviews, leads ahead of clean 5.0s with much smaller bases, and why Inghams on a 4.9 across 105 sits at fourth. All ten trade as licensed electrical contractors.
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 Bunbury?
A bit. Along the coast and around the Leschenault Estuary at Australind and Pelican Point, salt air corrodes outdoor gear faster, so meter boxes and external power points wear out sooner. Older homes through central and South Bunbury often still carry ceramic-fuse boards that need bringing up to code, while the newer estates at Treendale, Millbridge and Dalyellup are geared for solar, battery and EV-charger work. Semi-rural blocks out toward Brunswick Junction and Gelorup bring shed and studio power, three-phase, bore pumps and reticulation. A local Bunbury electrician will know the terrain and price it properly.
