About this electrical referral service
Traralgon Electrician is a referral website run by Yes Right Pty Ltd. How an electrical enquiry is handled and how to check an electrician's licence in VIC.
Traralgon Electrician is an enquiry and referral website operated by Yes Right Pty Ltd, ABN 91 664 546 061. People in Traralgon and the nearby Latrobe Valley towns use it to describe an electrical job, and the details go to an independent local electrical business that can look at the job and quote for it directly.
Yes Right Pty Ltd is not an electrical contractor and holds no electrical licence. This website has no electricians on staff, no vans, no depot, no customer reviews and no completed jobs of its own. Pictures on the site show the kind of work a page discusses, not work arranged through an enquiry sent here.
What happens to an enquiry after you send it?
- You fill in the enquiry form with your suburb, how to reach you, and what is going on: a switchboard that still has fuses, a safety switch that keeps tripping, a new EV charger, extra lights, a smoke alarm upgrade or anything else electrical.
- Those details are passed to an independent business that does that type of electrical work around your area. The privacy notice sets out what is collected and who it is shared with.
- The business gets in touch, asks what it needs to know (photos of the switchboard, the age of the house, the model of the appliance or charger), and decides whether the job suits it.
- If it does, the business gives you its own quote. Whether you accept is up to you.
The business may pay Yes Right Pty Ltd a fee for the referral. Sending the form does not book a visit, and no business is promised to be free for every enquiry or every suburb.
What is the electrical business responsible for?
Once you engage a business, the job is between you and that business. It is responsible for inspecting the site, the quote and what it includes, the contract and payment terms, the work itself, testing, any notice to the electricity distributor, the paperwork and any warranty it offers.
In Victoria, a Registered Electrical Contractor or licensed electrician must give you a Certificate of Electrical Safety for the work. Energy Safe Victoria describes it as a legal document under the Electricity Safety Act 1998 and the Electricity Safety (General) Regulations 2019. For ordinary work such as lights, power points and hot water connections, you should receive your copy within 30 days. Work on the main switchboard, consumer mains, meter box or main earth is prescribed work: an independent Licensed Electrical Inspector has to check it before it is turned on, and you get your copy within 4 days of the certificate being completed. Energy Safe’s certificate page for consumers has the detail.
How do I check an electrician’s licence in Victoria?
Ask for the business name and the electrician’s name before you agree to anything, then look them up yourself. Energy Safe Victoria keeps the registers on its search a public register page. Each search asks you to type the characters from a CAPTCHA first.

What does this site cover?
The services list shows the kinds of electrical jobs you can send an enquiry about, and the Traralgon page deals with the home town. Enquiries are accepted from Traralgon, Morwell, Moe, Churchill, Tyers, Glengarry, Yinnar and Rosedale. Which towns a business will travel to is its decision. The home page has the main guides and common questions.
Do not use this site in an emergency. If there is a fallen power line, sparking, smoke or anyone has had a shock, keep well clear and contact emergency services. Power cuts on the street are handled by the distributor, AusNet Services, through its outage page. For a fault inside the home that is safe to leave until a business can look at it, send a description of the electrical fault with what tripped, what stopped working and when it started.
