Daryl came out the same afternoon when our switchboard tripped during a storm. Diagnosed a fried RCD, replaced it, no drama. Tidiest sparky we’ve ever had through the house.

Thank you, Ballarat & the goldfields.
Quoted the Tesla wall charger install three weeks before another mob said they could even come look. Hartwell were in and out in a morning, sorted the tariff with my retailer too.

We’ve used Hartwell for both of our café fitouts in the goldfields. Knows the heritage building rules backwards, never had a council issue. Worth every dollar.
