Are there any decent electricians in Perth?
I am having no end of trouble trying to get an electrician to run a new circuit in my house. I've called 4 to date - one turned up, told me he hadn't allowed enough time, made another appointment 10 days later and then didn't turn up.
The second missed his initial appointment, I rang him, he rescheduled for the next day - missed the appointment - I rang him, same deal. I didn't ring him when he didn't turn up the third time.
The third didn't bother turning up, I didn't bother ringing him.
The fourth turned up HOORAY then told me he hadn't allowed enough time (I appreciate it's a big job and had given details over the phone to all of these people btw) so he installed 2 power points which I also needed, charged me $500 for these (!) and re-scheduled the remainder of the job for next week. Additionally he installed one of the power points in the wrong position despite my request so I need to move it.
Can anyone advise me what I am doing wrong here? And is it just me or is $500 a lot of money to install 2 power points? (the wires were poking out of the wall for one of them, the other was moving an existing point 1.5m. Materials were $100 so really I should say $400 in labour)
Finally, if someone can recommend a good, honest sparky I'd be ever so grateful.
