Why people call us back
Tradies who turn up
91 Google reviews, every one of them five stars. The most common thing our clients say is not about wiring — it is that we arrived when we said we would, explained what we found, and left the place clean.
A time, not a window
You get a booking time and we hold it. If we are running behind, you hear about it before the appointment, not after.
The price before the work
Defined jobs are quoted in writing. If something unexpected turns up once we open a wall or a board, we stop and talk to you first.
Licensed and certified
Every job with new or altered wiring gets a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. Keep it — insurers and buyers ask for it.
Local, not a call centre
You are calling Matt, not a dispatcher three hours away. We live and work between Byron and Ballina.

Who is the electrician at Earth Electrical NSW?
Earth Electrical NSW is owned and run by Matt Durkin, a licensed electrician based in Lennox Head. Matt and his team carry out residential, commercial and new-build electrical work across the Northern Rivers.
Are you a licensed electrical contractor?
Yes. Earth Electrical NSW holds a NSW electrical contractor licence and carries public liability insurance. Every job involving new or altered wiring is issued with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW).
Do you charge for quotes?
Quotes for defined work such as a switchboard upgrade, EV charger installation or a renovation fit-out are free. Diagnostic work — such as tracing an intermittent fault — is charged as a service call, because finding the fault is the work.
How do you price larger jobs like a rewire or switchboard upgrade?
Larger projects such as a rewire or a switchboard upgrade are usually given as an estimate after an inspection, because what is behind the walls decides a lot of the cost. If we uncover anything likely to change the price, we stop, explain it and get your approval before going on. Where the scope is clearly defined, we are happy to give a fixed-price quote before work begins instead.
How quickly can you attend a job?
Most non-urgent jobs in the Ballina, Lennox Head and Byron Bay area are booked within a few days. Urgent faults with a fire or shock risk — burning smells, hot outlets, sparking — are prioritised. Call 0412 521 992 rather than emailing for anything urgent.
