Sawtell Electrical
Marc and his crew turn up fast and are known for cleaning up after the job.
The strongest pattern is same-day action on urgent stuff: a Friday afternoon hot water scare was sorted within two hours, and a Sunday callout got a quick response from Aaron. The team is stable enough that names repeat with clear roles: Marc for stove and oven work, Aaron for switchboards and compliance, Stu and Taal for explaining options, Dean and Ben for fans. Sharon and Troy on the phones get called out repeatedly for keeping people updated on arrival times. Cleanup after the job is mentioned often enough to feel like standard practice, not a one-off. If you need work coordinated with other tradies, customers say they slot in well on larger jobs and renovations.

About Sawtell Electrical
Marc runs the show and still turns up for stove repairs and urgent callouts himself. Aaron handles switchboard upgrades and quotes, then sees the job through to a compliance certificate. Stu gets repeat mentions for going beyond the brief, while Taal is the one people praise for explaining options clearly. Dean and Ben work as a ceiling fan crew, with reviews noting how quickly they move. The office side matters too: Sharon and Troy keep bookings and communication tight, and customers often mention updates on arrival times. They cover the full stretch from Sawtell up through Coffs and out to Woolgoolga, so it is a genuinely local outfit that has kept long-term customers for over a decade.
Best for same-day urgent repairs, switchboard and compliance work, and repeat maintenance across residential properties in the Coffs region.
