Industrial
Factories, processing sites and three phase plant across the north.
Commercial
Shops, sheds, offices and fit outs, wired to spec and signed off.
Irrigation
Pumps, dairies and farm supply, the work this valley actually runs on.
Domestic
Houses old and new, from a single power point to a full rewire.
Those four words have been on the sign at East Westbury Place for years. They are still the honest description of the work.
What we do
One licensed team for the whole job
A comprehensive range of electrical solutions, delivered with a strong commitment to safety and to getting it right. Whether it is a single power point in a Deloraine cottage or the switchgear in a processing shed, it is the same licence and the same crew.
Lighting installations
Domestic, commercial and sports ground lighting, designed for the space and installed to last.
Commercial and industrial
Larger sites, three phase work, machinery and plant. The bulk of what the crew does day to day.
Irrigation and rural
Pump control, dairy sheds and farm electrical work right across the Meander Valley.
Air conditioning
Supply, installation and servicing, so a Tasmanian winter is somebody else's problem.
Solar installations
Panels and inverters put in by the same licensed team that looks after the rest of your wiring.
Appliance installation
Ovens, cooktops and whitegoods connected properly. A listed Whirlpool service agent.
Electrical inspections
Testing, reports and compliance work for homeowners, landlords and businesses.
24/7 emergency call-out
When something goes down out of hours, the same number gets you a licensed electrician.
The dairy project entered in the NECA Tasmania industry awards.
Industrial and rural
The work this valley runs on
Dairies, pumps, irrigation, processing plant and three phase machinery. It is not the part of the trade that gets photographed often, but it is the part that stops a farm or a factory dead when it goes wrong, and it is where a lot of the crew spends its week.
In 2024 one of those jobs was put in front of the industry. Dare Electrical was named a Tasmanian state finalist at the NECA Excellence Awards for a project completed the year before. The boys did not come home with the trophy, but a state finalist nomination from your own trade body is not nothing.

Tasmanian state finalist. National Electrical and Communications Association.
Irrigation is on the sign for a reason
Pump control, supply out to the paddock, trenching and the switchboard that ties it together. If the water has to move, the electrical side has to be right, and it has to be right before the season, not after it.
Talk to us about a farm jobThe crew
Close to twenty people, one licence number
Andrew Dare Electrical Services is owned and run by Brad Crowden, who lives in Deloraine and went to school here. Heather Crowden is in the business too. The name on the register goes back to 2004, and there are customers on Google who have been using the same team for years.
A crew this size means a small domestic job and a commercial site are not competing for the same one van, and it means there is somebody in the office who can actually tell you where your quote is up to. One review calls them approachable and helpful.

Behind the roller door
A store, not just an office
The building on East Westbury Place is not just an office. It is a proper store, racked out with switchgear, fans, fittings, cable and whitegoods.
It is also why appliance work is on the list. Andrew Dare Electrical Services is listed by Whirlpool Australia as a service and repair contact for this part of the state, so an oven or a washing machine is a call to the same number as a switchboard.

What people say
4.6 out of 5 on Google
Great service from initial phone call about getting a quote to finished project. I rang about a non-urgent job and they scheduled me in for a quote within a week of ringing, showed up on time, did a look over, and emailed me the finished quote a week later. We decided to go ahead and they arrived on time, were very polite, got straight to work, and advised me of the noise and power outage before it happened, and cleaned up afterwards. Very happy with the work and would use their services again.
Great experience. Turned up when they said and were very friendly from start to finish. Nice office staff as well, very approachable and helpful. Well done and thanks!
We have been using these guys exclusively for our electrical work over the past two years. Nothing is too much effort and the attention to detail in our lovely old home is impressive to say the least. A huge thankyou to Andrew, Brad, Cody and all the team for fabulous service!
Around town
A locally owned business that acts like one
Being local is easy to put on a website and harder to actually do. Dare Electrical is a gold sponsor of the Northern Hawks Netball Club, right down to backing an individual player. Separately, the Deloraine Junior Football Club has thanked them publicly, alongside two other local businesses, for chipping in on equipment for the kids. In their own words they are passionate about supporting the community, whether that means installing lighting at a local facility or getting behind grassroots sport.
