JR Preferred and Recommended Electrical Trades

Some hot water installations require licensed electrical work outside JR Gas & Water's plumbing, gas, or restricted electrical disconnect and reconnect scope. To make this easier, customers can choose our JR Preferred Electrician, our JR Recommended Electrician, or arrange their own licensed electrician.

How JR Electrical Coordination Works

JR Gas & Water completes the plumbing, gas, and hot water installation work included in your JR quote.

When additional licensed electrical work is needed, that electrical work must be completed by a licensed electrician. This may include a new isolator, new power point, circuit extension, new circuit, RCBO, switchboard work, timer, tariff change, temporary connection setup, or electrical fault investigation.

JR can help make the process easier by identifying the likely electrical requirement, adding the relevant electrical scope code to your quote, sharing job information with a JR coordinated electrician, and helping line up the electrical booking with your hot water installation date.

This JR coordination service is free unless a separate coordination fee is clearly listed on your quote.

Option 1 - JR Preferred Electrician

Proficient Electrical

Proficient Electrical is JR Gas & Water's preferred electrical trade for hot water related electrical work.

Proficient Electrical is the first-choice option for customers who want the smoothest coordination with JR's hot water installation process.

Proficient Electrical regularly works with JR Gas & Water and understands our preferred installation process, common hot water system locations, access requirements, isolation requirements, booking expectations, and the technical information normally needed to complete the electrical side of the job.

Why Choose the JR Preferred Electrician?

  • JR can liaise directly with Proficient Electrical about the required hot water installation details.
  • JR can share customer requests, job notes, photos, access notes, booking details, technical information, and electrical scope codes through our CRM platform.
  • JR can help line up the electrical work with the planned hot water installation day.
  • JR can help communicate changes if the installation date needs to move due to stock, weather, access, customer timing, or trade availability.
  • JR can help coordinate temporary electrical connection requirements and setup requirements connected to the hot water installation.
  • Proficient Electrical is familiar with the way JR prefers hot water systems to be positioned and connected.
  • Future electrical support is easier to coordinate when the electrician already understands JR's process and job history.

Future Support Advantage

Choosing Proficient Electrical can make future support easier. If you need a minor electrical repair, isolator check, temporary setup, replacement upgrade, fault investigation, or related electrical work years later, JR can usually liaise more effectively with a preferred trade that understands our hot water installation process.

JR may also arrange one of our own restricted electrical licence holders to assist with work that falls within JR's licence limitations, while Proficient Electrical handles licensed electrical work outside JR's restricted electrical scope.

Option 2 - JR Recommended Electrician

Neltek Electrical

Neltek Electrical is JR Gas & Water's recommended alternative electrician.

When Neltek Electrical is selected, JR may share CRM job information, booking details, technical information, project specifics, customer requests, site photos, scope codes, access notes, and installation timing details to help coordinate the work.

Neltek Electrical is a JR recommended trade. Proficient Electrical remains JR's preferred electrician and first-choice option for customers who want the most aligned ongoing coordination with JR's hot water installation process.

Option 3 - Arrange Your Own Electrician

Use Your Own Licensed Electrician

You are welcome to arrange your own licensed electrician. This option gives you full control over who completes the electrical work, but it also means all electrical arrangements are handled directly between you and your chosen electrician.

  • JR does not provide CRM access to customer-arranged electricians.
  • JR does not share internal job notes, project records, photos, CRM details, access notes, or technical information with customer-arranged electricians.

Why JR Uses Electrical Scope Codes

JR may use electrical scope codes to help identify the likely electrical work required for your job. These codes make it easier for customers, electricians, and JR to understand the expected electrical work before the installation begins.

Scope codes can also make pricing easier to compare between the JR Preferred Electrician and the JR Recommended Electrician.

The selected electrician is responsible for confirming the final electrical scope and pricing directly with the customer.
