The Cozlec Standard
Four things we don't compromise on — and why our customers in your neighbourhood keep calling us back.
On time, every time
We book a real arrival window — not a vague 'sometime Tuesday'. If we're running late we ring ahead so you're never stuck waiting.
Upfront pricing
You get the number in writing before we lift a tool. If we spot something extra part-way through, you approve every dollar first.
Done properly
Fully licensed NSW sparkies doing tidy, code-compliant work — the kind that still looks good when you open the switchboard in five years.
12-month workmanship warranty
Every job is backed for 12 months in writing. If something isn't sitting right, one call and we're back to sort it — no arguments.

Why it matters who you pick
Cozlec vs. a cheap tradie off Marketplace
Cheap electrical work is only cheap until something goes wrong. Here's the honest difference for homes in this part of Lake Macquarie.
- Fully licensed NSW electrician with insurance
- Upfront written price before we start
- 12-month workmanship warranty in writing
- Booked arrival window, call if we're running late
- Compliance certificate issued where required
- Handyman with no licence — illegal, uninsured, unsafe
- 'Mates rates' verbally, then a surprise cash figure at the end
- No warranty — they ghost the second the job's done
- No-show, no call, wasted day off work
- No paperwork — voids your insurance if anything goes wrong

Actually local
On the road across Charlestown every week.
Charlestown is the largest suburb in the Lake Macquarie local government area and a major retail hub for the region, anchored by Charlestown Square. Alongside the retail precinct, the surrounding residential streets range from established family homes to newer townhouse developments, so our electricians handle everything from switchboard compliance upgrades to new-build wiring in the one suburb. We look after homes, unit blocks and small businesses right across Lake Macquarie, including Charlestown Square, Kahibah, Whitebridge, Dudley, Redhead and Warners Bay.
Because Cozlec is a Newcastle-based crew, we're often nearby already — which means same-day for most jobs and no unsupervised apprentices doing the work.
