The specialty

Bore pump electrical, from the controller to the pump.

Bore work doesn't stop at the switchboard. It goes down the chamber too, and James has spent over 15 years on the drilling and installation side of bore pumps, so when the reticulation stops or the pump won't start, he checks the whole chain: controller, pump control gear, starter and pump.

“It was very hot weather so we needed it fixed quickly because it provides water to our horses. He came after his usual work hours on the same day we called him.”

Around the house

The everyday electrical jobs, done properly.

Ace Electrics works direct for home and business owners across greater Perth. Reviewers keep saying the same things: James stays until the fault is fixed, cleans up after himself, and one customer got a call the next day to check everything was still working.

Fault finding

Tested, not guessed.

Faults get found with proper test gear. That's a Fluke multifunction tester on the step, the kind that checks insulation, continuity, earth loops and RCD trip times. Find the real fault first, and a part can often be repaired instead of replaced.

“James was professional, accomodating and did not leave until the problem was fixed.”

Bore repair

James went above and beyond to help us fix a problem with our bore. It was very hot weather so we needed it fixed quickly because it provides water to our horses. He came after his usual work hours on the same day we called him, and stayed until the problem was fixed. He also spent a long time on the phone after the initial call trying to help us fix it ourselves in case it was just a short out or something. I would highly recommend his service.

Tripping power points

Would 100% recommend Ace Electrics. Due to bad weather our power points kept tripping. James was professional, accomodating and did not leave until the problem was fixed. He came at such short notice and nothing was "too hard". James does a great job and is very thorough. Really impressed that he followed up the next day to see if everything went ok. Great service!

Downlights & spotlight

James was super timely, helpful and efficient, completing the installation of new downlights and an outdoor spotlight with a clean professional finish. Would definitely seek Ace Electrics for future electrical work.

Bore switch

I was having trouble with my bore and found that I needed the switch replaced, once on site James repaired the switch rather that replacing it unnecessary as that is what was required. He also repaired a switch in my home rather than replacing it. I would recommend his service, he was professional, cleaned up after himself and helpful. Will definitely use James again.

Bore repair

James attended my home 3 hours after I called and fixed my bore problem without delay. He was quick and very reasonably priced. Great job and will definitely be using James again. Darren Richardson (Ballajura)
