How does your estimate quoting work?

Answer a few questions about the job online and the system gives you an estimate — no call-back required. The price holds based on the details you provide. If I arrive and the site reveals additional work (old wiring, hidden damage, access issues), I confirm the change in writing before starting. You're never caught off guard.

Do you do emergencies after hours?

Yes — 24/7 callouts across Sydney Metro. If you've got no power or a safety concern right now, call 0466 798 672. After-hours surcharge applies and is shown up front in the quote.

About

I'm the bloke who does the work.

I started Power Play because I got sick of seeing customers burned by shortcuts — dodgy boards, missing safety switches, "quotes" that doubled on the day.

I've been inside hundreds of Sydney homes. I know what's safe, what's dangerous, and what most homeowners don't know they don't know. Every job I quote online, I quote honestly. Every job I do, I sign off properly. The person you speak to is the person who does the work.

FAQ

Before you book.

Electrical

How does estimate quoting work online?

You answer a few questions about the job. The system gives you an estimate on the spot. The price holds based on the info you give me. If the site reveals additional work once I'm there (old wiring, hidden damage, access issues), I confirm the change in writing before starting. You're never caught off guard, and you never commit to a number I can't hold.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 485016C. Fully insured, including public liability. Every notifiable job gets a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) — that's your proof the work was done to AS/NZS 3000.

Do you handle emergencies?

24/7 across Sydney Metro. Power off, burning smell, sparks, exposed wiring — call 0466 798 672. After-hours surcharge is shown up front in the online quote.

How do you accept payment?

Card (tap or Stripe link), bank transfer, or EFTPOS on the day. Payment terms are invoiced per job — small jobs on completion, larger jobs with a deposit at booking and balance on sign-off.

Which suburbs do you service?

All of Sydney Metro. Most common catchments: Penrith, Parramatta, Blacktown, Liverpool, Chatswood, Hornsby, Ryde, Bondi, North Sydney, Manly. Further out? Ring and ask.

Solar

How does the STC rebate work?

The federal Small-scale Technology Certificate (STC) rebate is a government incentive for rooftop solar. Only SAA-accredited installers (like me) can claim it on your behalf. The price you see on this site is already net of the rebate — you don't lodge anything, you don't wait for a cheque. The rebate amount depends on system size, your postcode zone, and the current STC market price, which I update quarterly.

What if my roof needs work before the install?

If my on-site assessment flags the roof isn't ready — cracked tiles, dodgy flashing, structural issue — we pause and you fix the roof (or I refer you to someone who can). No point installing panels on a roof that's going to leak in two winters.

What's the payback on a battery?

Honest answer: it depends. For most Sydney homes with daytime occupancy and moderate evening use, a 10kWh battery pays back in 6–9 years at current grid prices. If you're rarely home during the day and feed a lot back to the grid for a low FiT, it shortens. If you're home all day and barely feed back, batteries make more sense. Build the quote and I'll walk you through your numbers specifically.

What panels / inverters / batteries do you fit?

Tier-1 panels only — Jinko Tiger Neo and REC Alpha Pure as standard. Inverters: Fronius, SolarEdge, and Sungrow. Batteries: Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sungrow SBR. No-name gear is how customers end up with vanishing warranties and replacement bills — I don't touch it.

What's the warranty?

Manufacturer warranty on panels (typically 25 years performance), inverter (10 years), battery (10 years). Workmanship warranty from me: 5 years. If something goes wrong, I'm the one who comes back.
