Josh and the team are 5 star all the way. Great advice, solid pricing and great service. Josh did our solar panel installation about a year ago, and recently we asked the team back to install the Fronius battery system. Again, great advice on the options and the job got done as requested.
About us
Family run. Melbourne based. Josh on every job
Begbie Electrical is a small, family-run team of licensed electricians. When you call, you deal with one or two people from the first quote to the final handover.

Our story
Built on doing the job right
Josh Begbie started Begbie Electrical to do things the way he'd want them done at his own place: turn up on time, quote honestly, use gear you'd trust on your own roof and stand behind the work.
That approach turned a one-man van into a small team doing solar, batteries, EV chargers, air conditioning and general electrical across Melbourne, with 58 five-star reviews and most new work coming from referrals.

How we work
You deal with us, not a sales rep
No call centre, no commission-driven salespeople. The person who quotes your job is the person who installs it.
Our own crew, never subbies
Every job is done by Begbie electricians. We know exactly what went in and we stand behind it.
Fixed prices, no surprises
You get the gear, the work and the price in writing before we start, with rebates already applied.
Gear we'd put on our own roof
Tier-1 panels, Fronius and Sungrow inverters, Tesla and BYD batteries, Daikin and Mitsubishi air con.
We leave it cleaner than we found it
Tidy cable runs, conduit out of sight, and the place swept before we go.
Part of the community
Proud sponsors of the Olinda Ferny Creek Football Club and local through and through.

ElectricianGreat experience with Begbie Electrical. Fantastic team always arriving early in the morning, competent, professional install, demonstrated attention to detail and friendly. Highly recommended for solar and battery installation.
Begbie Electrical came highly recommended and have done both the electrical work installing split system air conditioners and upgrading my electrical board that was not up to code. In both instances I have found Josh and his staff to be polite, punctual and very professional.
Josh and his team installed a large solar and battery at home. They were punctual and fully discussed what they were doing. The boys were polite, cleaned up after themselves and got the job done nice and quick. Josh's after sales service has also been really good when we've asked questions about the system.
Excellent service from start to finish. Josh's electrical work and battery installation were completed with true professionalism and care.
Josh's quote for our new Powerwall was one I couldn't refuse compared to the bigger companies. His team were very professional, explained the whole process, added an extra power point for free and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend them for all electrical work.
Josh and Dave are incredibly professional and reliable. They did an excellent job and were very knowledgeable when discussing our requirements and the best solutions for our needs. Would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an electrician.
After a mixup with a heat pump hot water installer, Josh ended up on our premises. Despite not being the original contractor, he rectified the issue and now we have hot water! What a champ. Our company will be sure to contact him for any future electrical requirements.
Josh is great to deal with. Clear, honest communication and work was completed as promised within the time frame given. Can highly recommend!
