Fantastic team. Byrd Electrical completed the jobs neatly and as required, explaining clearly how what I needed would be best completed. They are prompt, punctual, and reliable. Highly recommend.
Extremely fast turn around for our large job. Good value and friendly service. I couldn’t recommend the team more.
The team provided a prompt and professional response to a non-critical job on fire alarm updates (long due) and the installation and upgrade of power-points and our main switchboard. Mark, Lionel and Pat were great to deal with and, in advising on the routing and placement of the trickier new installations, showed they were well aware that convenience, safety and aesthetics count. The installations were undertaken with thoughtfulness and thoroughness over two visits. Byrd Electrical are certainly our go-to guys from now on.
fantastic job, very professional for our Sauna installation
Great experience with Byrd Electrical. They were very responsive and came out the next day for a non emergency job, and were on time, which was great as I had limited time due to school runs. Ben came out, identified the fault, quoted on the spot and did the job there and then, efficiently, professionally and tidily. Highly recommended.
Great service, reliable and prompt. Highly recommend.
Trustworthy and experienced team. Leon and Lionel handled the small and big jobs with equal care and gave great advice on pros and cons of our choices with reverse cycle heater/ cooler, ceiling fans and LEDs. Highly recommend and will book again in Malvern East.
We had Byrd Electrical rewire our switchboard and put power and lighting to a new shed. Mark and Lionel were fantastic. Arrived on time, great guys, efficient, explained what was going on and solved a couple of tricky problems. Would highly recommend them and will be now be our go to electricians. Thanks guys.
Thanks Ben for doing such a great job, prompt, reliable and a pleasure to work with you and your team.
