Oleada Electrical

I was given a four hour time span to wait for Oleada to come and install three power points and two television antenna points. After waiting for 2½ hours, I received a call to tell me that they could no longer come because they had an emergency. Ummm... I had booked and was being ditched for an emergency?!?! My dogs had been locked outside for… Read more

the 2½ waiting period and when I had called after two hours I was told they would be here shortly. By the time they had cancelled my appointment, it was too late to book another electrician to come the same day, so have to go through it all again.

At least the new electrician gave me an estimate over the phone for the costs. Oleada wouldn't even give a ballpark estimate. I knew they were more expensive after reading their reviews but feel now that I may have dodged a bullet anyway. I see they jump on anyone who doesn't praise them highly, so will no doubt get negative and nasty comments from them. Their lack of professionalism has definitely left a poor impression on me.

Despite the many favourable reviews here, my experience has been very different. My advice - be wary about engaging this company. You can easily get bamboozled into agreeing to a job. The tablet quickly produced so you can sign up but as other complainants have stated, there’s no breakdown, nothing is itemised. My bad, I should have sent… Read more

Caige and his mate on their way.

For the installation of two power points I was charged $1,212.46. Such a simple job, an hour’s work for an electrician and apprentice. Seriously, $20 for hardware, the rest labour?

Whilst many electricians are booked out for weeks, invariably, Oleada can turn up almost immediately. I wonder why?

Having now found a local electrician, the quote for another power point (an identical installation) will be $215.82.

As a new customer, I was completely dudded by Oleada. Hard to describe my experience as anything other than a total rip-off.

Perfect and professional work. Responsible and friendly. Highly recommend Brendon.

Excellent service from Alex at Oleada Electrical. He communicated everything clearly before commencing the job and made sure I understood the work being completed. The job was finished promptly, and the workmanship was first-class. I wouldn't hesitate to use Oleada Electrical again or recommend them to others.

Alex from Oleada Electrical was fantastic to deal with. He explained the entire job clearly before starting, which gave me confidence in the work being carried out. He worked efficiently, completed everything to a very high standard, and left the area clean and tidy. I couldn't be happier with the service and would happily recommend Alex and Oleada Electrical to anyone.

Great service, phoned the company on Sunday pm, Arrived Monday very early am. The job was explained to me, and the electrician and apprentice were straight into it. Both workers were very easy to talk to, and the workmanship was to a very high standard. This company is now my go-to for any electrical work

Alex came out and did an amazing job from start to finish. He kept us in the loop with how the job was running and made his work area absolutely spotless when he was finished

After we had waited over a week for another electrician to fix our hot water, Brendon turned up in a couple of hours of my call, identified the faulty element and replaced it in no time. Thanks Brendon.

Had a very good experience with Oleada electrical today and especially Sebastian and Billy. These young guys were punctual courteous knowledgeable and the job was done in a timely manner. Highly recommend Oleada and team Sebastian and Billy ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Alex recently visited to give me a quote and do some electrical work. He did an amazing job. He’s a very well presented and professional gentleman and he left the site clean so I didnt have to do any cleanup afterwards. I highly recommend Alex for his great work.

Jordan & Luke did an awesome job fitting 8 lights to my Carport. Very neat and professional staff too. Will call these guys when I need another electrical job done.

Jordan was very prompt and arrived on time. He was excellent in describing the different options and providing quotes. Once we decided on a quote and the products, he was very efficient in installing and cleaning up. I now have 5 compliant smoke alarms thank you to Jordan and Oleada Electrical.

RUN AWAY FROM OLEADA AS FAST AS YOU CAN I was confused by the HUGE QUOTE for installation of a generator. It took multiple phone calls to get a detailed breakdown of their $2800 quote Finally, after talking to the OWNER of the company, Nickolas Phillips, who explained "we never provide a detailed breakdown", he sent a more detailed quote that… Read more

explained why they have to be dragged kicking and screaming to give info to customers.

A full $1600 of the quote goes to "Margin", and "Overheads", combined. WHAAA???? I have never seen an estimate like it.

$600 for labour, and the remainder in materials.

If you like being charged like a wounded bull, and having to spend hours pushing to get basic quote info, this is the crew for you.

Good grief. Oleada is worthy of an A Current Affair segment. Nick kept talking about his "Business Model". The "model" relies on excessive fees that customers are pushed into blindly accepting, and pressured away from asking for crucial detail

I can't fault the work from this company, especially Alex. Top notch work, completed on time, and exceeded expectations. Great communication throughout the job, which is refreshing as some businesses seemed to have forgotten these days, Alex and Oleada however smashed it. Keep up the great work! I'd recommend them to anyone in the future. Cheers guys.

Loss of power at home after a tree fell across network power lines and ripped the mounting point from the house fascia and damaged cables leading into the house mains box. The original mains box was established in mid 1970s and despite various upgrades over time it no longer met current standards. A new mains box and cabling was required. … Read more

Oleada staff provided prompt and timely service. Communication with the company and individual members of staff was good. My questions were answered fully and options, with costings, were provided. Staff arrived at promised times to complete work. The installation team were efficient, friendly, worked well together. They also cleared up rubbish before they left.

All invoices were itemised and administration staff provided assistance during my insurance claim after the job was finished.

Thanks for the excellent work, really appreciated Sebastian getting the work done before Easter. It’s going to be so great to be able to use the kitchen again. Thanks again for everything
