I called Melville Electrical in the hope of getting some halogens replaced with new transformers and led's. Doug came out a few days later and he did a very quick and thorough job. He was punctual, efficient and friendly and would be my electrician of choice for any future work. He even gave me some advice on some other work I was doing around the house. I also had a table lamp that wasn't working properly that I wanted him to fix. It was actually a problem with the power board which Doug immediately identified. Excellent work!

Melville Electrical Services assisted us in our office relocation & renovation. Doug was both punctual & efficient, just as he was when we engaged his services previously. He is always happy to offer his advice or make suggestions to benefit us long term & economically. The results of his work speak for themselves & we are extremely pleased with the quality of his workmanship. We would highly reccommend his services & not hesitate to welcome him back for any future works.

Doug Russell was the most punctual tradesperson I've met, polite, informative, didn't talk down to me (as a woman, a lot of tradesfolk do), efficient, and extremely reasonable with his fees. He has my business permanently.

Doug installed a replacement light / fan combination in my toilet, the sort of small job that it can be difficult to get someone to do. The job ended up being a little more complex than I had thought due to problems with a lack of an earth supply to my old fitting. Doug was excellent in explaining what was required to be compliant with regulations and very accommodating in immediately undertaking what was needed. I highly recommend Melville Electrical, Doug was a pleasure to deal with, helpful, arrived on time and undertook the work in a professional and diligent manner. His pricing was more than reasonable and given his quality approach to safety and workmanship I think the cost was quite cheap for the peace of mind I have from the job being done properly. Doug will be my first point of call for any future electrical work.

Professional, friendly & reliable. Highly recommend. Doug turned up when he said he would, was very organised and methodical in dealing with our various electrical jobs ( timer switch install, ceiling fan fix, outside light installed.)

I have had Doug back 3 times since my last review, for three different issues.
Firstly, he installed a trip switch to my terrace. Obviously a lengthy process, Doug texted the night prior to confirm the time, and as usual was on time. He worked solidly to have everything safely installed, explaining all steps throughout the process.

Doug on the next occasion installed spot lighting (8 sep locations) throughout my house. Fiddly and time consuming, no complaints, just hard work! A neat tidy job again.

Recently I had that horrible burning electrical smell from a wall panel of 3 light switches. Doug was very flexible and fitted me in to his busy Saturday schedule at 7am to replace the panel, and remove the culprit, an offending dimmer switch (that was not needed with the new spot lighting).

Doug's constant concern for safety, explaining everything fully, reliability with communication and appointment times, makes him the professional that he is. This is the trifecta for him to be undoubtedly your ONLY electrician.

Doug performed all the electrical work on our major renovation/extension. He always communicated well and worked in with our plans to get things done on time. He helped us choose the right lights for our house and provided good advice on all electrical requirements. He worked quickly, efficiently and was very clean. More than happy to recommend Melville Electrical Services for any job big or small.
