Common questions answered
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about working with APX Trade Group — from licensing and costs to response times and emergency work across all of Sydney.
How much does an electrician cost in Sydney?
Electrical costs vary based on the scope of work — a single power point installation differs significantly from a full switchboard upgrade. APX Trade Group provides free, no-obligation quotes for all electrical work. Call 0414 248 878 or use our online form and we'll give you a clear price before any work begins.
Do I need a licensed plumber for bathroom renovations?
Yes. In NSW, all plumbing work — including bathroom renovations involving drain relocations, new fixtures, or pipe work — must be carried out by a licensed plumber. Every plumber in the APX network holds a current NSW plumbing licence and can issue a Certificate of Compliance for notifiable work. We handle all the paperwork.
How long does air conditioning installation take?
A standard single split system installation typically takes 3–5 hours. Multi-head or ducted systems take longer depending on the property layout. Our licensed AC technicians will assess your space during the quote stage and give you a realistic time estimate upfront.
What's included in a free quote?
Our free quotes include a clear breakdown of labour, materials, and any compliance costs. There are no hidden call-out fees. We'll tell you exactly what the job involves and what it will cost before any tradesperson starts work. Call 0414 248 878 or use our online book form to get started.
Do you service all of Sydney?
Yes. APX Trade Group covers all Sydney suburbs — including the Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Western Sydney, South Sydney, Hills District, Sutherland Shire, the CBD, and Parramatta. If you're in Greater Sydney, we can help. Call us to confirm availability in your suburb.
Are your tradespeople licensed and insured?
Absolutely. Every tradesperson in the APX network is fully licensed and insured for their trade in NSW. Electricians hold a current NSW electrical contractor licence, plumbers hold a current NSW plumbing licence, and AC technicians hold an ARC (Australian Refrigeration Council) licence. Carpenters are fully insured with verified workmanship. ABN 74 812 851 633.
How quickly can you come out?
For standard bookings, we aim to have a tradesperson to you within 24–48 hours of confirming your quote. Availability varies by trade, location, and time of year. We'll confirm your booking timeframe when we call you back after your enquiry.
