My parents called me to say that they had lost power due to a safety switch refusing to stay on. I suggested that they call Forte Electrical Melbourne, as they are a local business with a good Google review score. Andrew advised my parents that it is likely that the safety switch itself had failed. Andrew told them he was currently working a job on the other side to town, and he would attend their house once the current job was done. He kept them well-informed as to his estimated arrival time, and he arrived on time. His assessment was correct. He replaced the faulty safety switch, and my parents

Andrew responded promptly to fix an issue with the bathroom light switch. Came out to fix it on the same day I called him. His "fix" worked for a couple of months, before having the exact same issue. When I rang Andrew, he said he is too busy to come back and has washed his hands off the job.

Andrew arrived very promptly, and did everything from changing bulbs and transformers to installing phase 4 cable from box in garage to kitchen through the flat roof for induction cook top. Professional work, quality advice and his rates were very reasonable. Really great electrician.
