Hobart & the south
Rock Electrical is a licensed Tasmanian electrical contractor that delivers residential, commercial, rural and marine electrical work for homeowners, builders, businesses and vessel operators across greater Hobart and southern Tasmania.
That mix is the point. The same team that puts a switchboard and an EV charger into a Kingston home rewires a working fishing vessel at Margate, and was named among the contractors behind a world-first floating desalination unit. Every job is signed off with a Certificate of Electrical Compliance, and someone picks up after hours.
Emergency callout
Services, one team
Contractor licence
& across Southern Tasmania
From a power point in a Kingston home to a full rewire on a working vessel at Margate, the same licensed team covers the lot.
Nine electrical services under one licence, delivered by the same local team.
Five things set Rock Electrical apart from other Hobart electricians.
Rock rewires working vessels as well as houses. Recent marine work includes the MUSTAD Autoline auto baiter decommission and reinstall aboard the Petuna Endeavour, and Rock was named among the contractors behind the oPod Aqua, a world-first floating desalination system off the Tasmanian coast.
Failing connections are found with thermal imaging rather than by a process of elimination. That means hot joints, overloaded circuits and failing breakers are identified without pulling a building apart, and commercial boards can be checked while live and in service.
Solar is installed under CEC accreditation, which is the qualification that makes a system eligible for rebates and STCs. An installer without it can still wire a system, but the customer loses the rebate.
Understanding that electrical issues can arise at any time, we offer a 24/7 emergency call-out service to address your urgent electrical needs promptly.
Rock operates under Tasmanian electrical contractor licence 1491885, and every job is issued with a Certificate of Electrical Compliance. A conveyancer, insurer or building surveyor will ask for this certificate later.
We work with homeowners, builders, businesses, rural property owners and marine operators across greater Hobart and southern Tasmania.
Homeowners in greater Hobart, particularly pre-1990 homes with ceramic fuses, no safety switch, or a board at capacity.
Homeowners adding solar, a heat pump or an EV charger, where the existing switchboard has to be upgraded first.
Builders, renovators and trades, needing rough-in, fit-off and compliance sign-off to programme on new builds and renovations.
Small to mid-size commercial operators, needing fit-outs, three-phase, emergency lighting, test and tag, or a maintenance contract.
Rural and semi-rural property owners, with sheds, pumps, long runs and off-grid supply south of Hobart.
Commercial marine operators, running fishing vessels, workboats and charter craft out of Tasmanian ports.
