Never enter into any agreement with the electrician who refuses to provide you with a detailed quote about the entire costs you are likely to incur for the job. And, if possible, seek estimates from at least a couple of professional Gold Coast electrical contractors, located in your area, so as to get an idea about the prevalent labor charges in the market. Most of the electricians, in a bid to attract business and develop customers, offer good discounts on their charges as well as additional services.
