Rang on a Saturday morning with half the house out. Got a text straight back, Ben was here before lunch and found a cooked power point behind the fridge. Explained it all and left the place spotless.

New switchboard and safety switches. Fixed quote, done in a day, no surprises on the bill.

Dave R.Example
★★★★★

Put an EV charger in our garage and talked us through the best setting for our solar. Really knows his stuff.

Priya S.Example
★★★★★

We had three fans and new downlights put in through the whole house. The apprentice was lovely, everything tested and tidied. The kids think the fans are the best thing ever.

Jo & Matt H.Example
★★★★★

Easy to deal with. Sent photos of the old board through the website and had a price the same afternoon.

Graham T.Example

Battery install was neat as. Ben showed us the app and checked in a week later to see it was working.

About

A small crew that picks up where it left off.

Ben started Tidewire after fifteen years wiring houses up and down the coast. It's still a small crew: Ben, a senior sparky and an apprentice. That means the person who quotes your job is the person who does it, and the phone always gets back to you.
