"Tungsten Electrical were amazing from first conversation to last install. Working on fittings for a newly renovated bathroom and then moving through to replace switches and sockets in our master bedroom, Andrew was such a delight to work with. He even helped build a wall chandelier! A proactive thinker and attention-focused expert electrician, Andrew was beyond fantastic with his customer service, timing and sense of humour. Thanks Andrew and thanks Tungsten!"

"Levi and apprentice came out on behalf of Tungsten Electrical and reseated the mains feed into the house in preparation for the guttering to be replaced.

They did a fantastic job, they were able to reseat the power even when there was no spare length on the feed from the pole. Cabling was sheathed and well protected from a health and safety perspective for the team replacing the guttering to work around.

Very happy with the work, the engagement with the Tungsten Electrical team, and Levi's friendly customer servicer."

He was very punctual to arrive at my place and told me what had happened. Then he explained to me I have a very old switchboard.

Conrad replied promptly to an email inquiry - stayed in contact during the day and was able to turn up to fix a few small things at our place only hours after contacting him. He didn't seem bothered that some of the jobs we needed done were fairly small things - explained everything carefully and was willing and able to use his expertise and tools to get the job done astonishingly quickly. He was kind to our kids who followed "Conrad the Electrician" around the house too! We are really grateful for his time and skills - will be ringing him straight back if we need an electrician again!
