What reviewers think

Plico's installation work is solid: teams arrive prepared, complete jobs in a day, and leave the site clean. Sales staff like Jacob, Mitchell Crisp, and Jasmine get strong marks for responsiveness and honest sizing. The core problem is predictability. Wait times stretch from months to over half a year, communication during delays is vague or silent, and after installation, reaching the company becomes a battle. One customer found contract language about CPI increases hidden beneath talk of low monthly costs. Another waited 10 weeks past a promised 6-8 week timeframe with only generic email updates. When problems do surface after install, technical support has come through; the friction is in getting anyone to pick up the phone for scheduling or account changes.

Their website lists service areas across Perth, Newcastle, Sydney, and Central Coast. Certifications include ACN 617 042 592 and Credit Representative 553445. They offer solar panels, batteries, Virtual Power Plant, and blackout protection packages. The rating sits at 4.0 across 339 reviews, with 70% five-star and 24% one or two-star ratings, reflecting this split between strong installation execution and poor pre-install and admin communication.

Praised for
  • professional installation teams
  • responsive sales staff
  • good after-sales support on technical issues
  • fair pricing and honest advice
  • efficient one-day installs
Watch-outs
  • long delays before installation
  • poor communication during waits

Best for: buyers who can wait months, value correct system sizing, and need hands-on technical support after install.
Think twice if: you need a firm installation date and fast communication. Delays commonly exceed six months, and reaching the company by phone after sale is difficult.

Strengths

  • installation crews complete jobs in one day and clean up after
  • sales team gives honest system sizing, no hard upsell
  • technical support guides customers through post-install issues

Questions people ask

How long does installation take?
One day, according to recent reviews. However, the wait from quote to install can be several months.
What if I have a problem after install?
Plico has provided phone support to guide customers through system resets and technical issues, though getting through initially can be difficult.
Do they handle rebates?
Yes. One customer reported rebates were applied and approved with minimal effort on their part, though rebate changes during the quote-to-install wait can trigger system adjustments and price increases.

Reviewers consistently encounter fast replies, accurate arrival times, and technicians who take pride in their work. The team and the wider team (Julio, Sebastian, Josh, Lewis, Kerry) are named repeatedly for solving tricky jobs-including solar installs that other firms declined-with clear explanations and clean sites. One four-star review, paired with 19 five-star accounts, shows almost no friction across electrical fault work, data cabling, air-con replacement, light switch repair, and solar-battery systems. Problems rarely surface: a customer who needed urgent work got service the next day; another praising Kerry's office organisation and the team's timely quotes. The broader pattern suggests Dr Sparky acts as the fallback when others can't or won't help, and delivers with both competence and respectful communication.

Staff consistently help customers find the right gear, often going beyond basic sales to guide on wiring, compatibility, and best value. Most visitors praise the team's knowledge and patience. One customer had a serious problem with a used 3D printer sold as new: poor communication, unexpected freight charges not reimbursed, and responsibility passed to head office.
