Websites for Perth electrical contractors that put your EC number where WA's guideline expects it, mention the safety certificate your customers are owed, and give landlords, home sellers and battery buyers a section of their own.
Three sorts of enquiry reach a Perth electrician's site: a fault, a planned install such as a battery or a switchboard upgrade, and a landlord, agent or seller who needs a property brought up to the rules. Each should land in the right place quickly, with your contractor licence in plain view.
Building and Energy's guideline asks for the contractor's number to be conspicuous and tied to the main part of the ad, and suggests it be at least half the size of the biggest lettering. On a website we set it beside your business name in the header of every page, and repeat it in the footer with your contact details.
WA homes need at least two RCDs before they're sold or leased, and compliant mains-powered smoke alarms under 10 years old before a sale, tenancy or hire. A property manager looks after many homes, so one good job can lead to the next. A section written for them, with a form asking for the address and how to arrange access, gives them a reason to keep your number.
The WA Residential Battery Scheme opened in July 2025 and passed 20,000 installs in May 2026. If you install them, batteries get their own section: what you install, what you need from the customer before quoting, and how the job runs. When the scheme's rules change, updating that text is covered by your hosting.
WA electrical contractors must give the customer an electrical safety certificate within 28 days for most installing work, and the state's own advice tells homeowners to expect one. A line saying you issue it on every job it applies to shows you know the rules, and it costs nothing to say.
You might drive from Joondalup to Rockingham for a battery install but not for a tripped safety switch. Say so: one list of suburbs for fault calls, and a wider area for planned installs and commercial work, so the urgent caller in a suburb you don't cover rings someone who does.
Fault, new install or compliance check: one question at the top, then only the fields that job needs. A fault asks for a phone number and suburb, an install asks for a photo of the switchboard, and a rental check asks for the property address and the agent's contact.
Electrical licences in WA are issued by the Electrical Licensing Board. Building and Energy, part of the Department of Local Government, Industry Regulation and Safety since July 2025, handles the administration and the public licence search. There are two numbers to know. An electrical contractor's licence, starting with EC, is what lets a business carry on electrical contracting; an electrician's licence, starting with EW, belongs to the person doing the work, and a contractor's licence depends on the holder, or a nominee they employ, holding an electrician's licence. The advertising rule is about the EC number: regulation 45(1) of the Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991 says it must be conspicuously displayed in any advertisement for the contracting business.
Building and Energy's guideline on licence numbers in advertising lists web pages alongside business cards, vehicle signs and directory entries. The number is the EC prefix and six digits, though leading zeros can be left off and a short label such as Lic. No. in front is fine. The guideline asks for the number to sit with the main body of the ad rather than somewhere unrelated, and gives a rule of thumb of at least half the size of the largest lettering. It also says not to mention Western Power or Building and Energy next to the number, because the Electrical Licensing Board issues the licence. On a website, we read that as your EC number at the top of every page at a size people notice, not grey small print at the bottom.
Two pieces of paperwork follow most jobs. For notifiable work, the contractor sends a notice of completion to the network operator within 3 days of finishing, and across the Perth metropolitan area that operator is Western Power, whose network stretches north to Kalbarri, east to Kalgoorlie and south to Albany. For most installing work, maintenance aside, the customer must receive an electrical safety certificate within 28 days. The state's consumer advice tells anyone who doesn't get one to ask the contractor first and then the network operator, so a line on your site saying you issue it is a small reassurance that answers a real question.
Property work has rules of its own. A home being sold must have RCDs protecting every circuit that supplies power points and lights before the title transfers, with two as the minimum; a rental needs two on the switchboard before it's leased, and a short-term rental before guests stay. Homes also need compliant mains-powered smoke alarms, less than 10 years old, before a sale, tenancy or hire. RCDs must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, so an agent or landlord facing a sale or a new lease has to find one.
The metropolitan region spans 30 local government areas, from Wanneroo and Joondalup in the north to Rockingham and Kwinana in the south and Mundaring and Kalamunda in the hills, and locals often describe home as north or south of the river. Few electricians cover all of it for every kind of job, so the site should say where you'll go and for what. We're an Adelaide team working with Perth businesses by phone and email, and we haven't built for a WA electrician, or any WA business, yet.
We haven't built for an electrician yet, so these are the closest examples from other trades: M.J. Debney Plumbing & Gas, a licensed Queensland trade with compliance work such as backflow, and Western Sydney Stump Grinding, whose site is set up for urgent calls. Our other trade sites include Bright Building & Renovations and SA Painting Professionals in Adelaide.
A Queensland plumber and gas fitter whose licence matters to customers in the way yours does. A single page covers six services, with a 13-photo gallery that swipes on a phone, testimonials, a protected contact form and tap-to-call.

The regulation says conspicuous. Building and Energy's guideline suggests at least half the size of the largest lettering in the ad, sitting with the main body of it rather than hidden away. We put it next to your business name at the top of every page and repeat it in the footer, written as EC followed by your number.
The EC number is the one the advertising rule asks for, because it's the business's contractor licence. An EW number is an individual electrician's licence. A sole trader can also list their own EW number in the about section; that's optional, and it doesn't replace the EC number.
Yes, in a line. In WA the contractor must give the customer an electrical safety certificate within 28 days of finishing most installing work, maintenance aside. The state's home electrical safety advice tells homeowners to expect one, so seeing it mentioned on your site tells them you work to the rules.
It can help, because one agent may manage many rentals. Before a WA home is sold or leased it needs at least two RCDs covering the power and lighting circuits, and compliant mains-powered smoke alarms under 10 years old. A page for agents and landlords, explaining what you check and how you arrange access with tenants, suits the 3-page site at $899.
