No job too small, and nothing too big for a team that has been doing this since 1973.
DomesticRepairs, upgrades and new work around the house, done tidy and explained properly.
CommercialShops, offices, schools and workshops. We plan around your trading hours so the doors stay open.
Air conSplit systems and ceiling cassettes supplied, installed and serviced by our own licensed crew.
Our vans carry the common parts for hot water systems and stoves, so a lot of repairs get finished the same day. Ring early.
An Ipswich summer is no time for a unit that rattles, drips or quits. We size the system to the room, run it neatly and leave you with something quiet that lasts.
Chances are someone you know has had a Strybos van in their driveway. That's what 53 years in one town does.
John opens Strybos & Sons in Ipswich, doing honest, reliable electrical work for local homes and businesses.
Long-term customers, return phone calls and appointments kept. Households and businesses across Ipswich keep calling back, year after year.
John retires in July 2010. His son Ross, now principal electrician, takes the business on and keeps the same standard.
A team of electricians and air con technicians, a fleet of red and blue vans, an office that answers the phone, and proud sponsors of the Ipswich Jets.
Three things we won't change, in our words and our customers'.
Every customer matters, so we always return calls and keep our appointments.
I called on Monday and the admin team had a quote over to me in less than an hour. The electrician (Chris) came out the next morning…Customer, air con repair, Feb 2023
If we spot something unsafe while we're there, we tell you, and we explain the options.
He even noted some other issues which were unsafe, for which I was grateful for… I have a safer home now, due to the diligence and professionalism of Mark.Customer, home electrical
Every tradesman cleans up after himself. The job is only finished when your place is too.
They even took off their work boots each time they came inside (and they were in and out all day), despite me having said that it was fine not to.Customer, air con install
And here's what customers write straight to us.
The team at Strybos took care of us and were amazing to work with. We had 3 aircon units installed and the old ones disposed of. They kept us informed at all times and the crew that came were respectful, cleaned up and gave us all the information we needed.
We had a split system installed and a ceiling fan replaced. James and Alex came to our house on time and were the nicest and most efficient tradies we have ever had. They were friendly but equally important they were professional.
Dale showed up during the time specified, he was great in working out with us what we wanted versus the limitations of the space and structure of the areas we wanted the work. And to top it off they came in $100 under the initial quote. This is why we keep coming back to them for our electrical work.
Prompt response great service and all under quote, would not hesitate to recommend. Will definitely be a repeat customer. Absolutely excellent.
Couldn't fault the work done by these guys at my workshop got our hoist up and running 100 percent will use them again.
Three air conditioners installed by Strybos - gave good advice, timely and efficient service, fair pricing for the quality of the work - great to go local - Thanks for the service.
Had Chris and his offsider around this afternoon attending to some electrical issues, what a pleasure to deal with, fast, efficient and friendly.
Got the lads in for my workplace. As sparky's go pretty good wait time for a small job. 3 days. Excellent.
