The basics
What is an electrical wholesaler?
An electrical wholesaler is a trade supplier that sells electrical product (cable, switchgear, wiring accessories, lighting, data and comms, solar and EV charging) to licensed electricians, contractors, builders and facilities teams, usually through a trade account and a branch trade counter. They are the link between the manufacturers (Clipsal, NHP, Schneider, Olex, Legrand) and the person on the tools, and they hold the stock and the trade pricing that a retail hardware store doesn't.
Australia's market splits into a handful of national banners with branches in every state and a long tail of independents and buying-group members that run one to a dozen branches in a single region. In this directory that split is 695 major-banner branches to 755 independents, from 558 wholesalers in total, and 6 of those wholesalers trade in four or more states. Which one is "best" is usually a question of who has the line you need, in stock, closest to the job, which is exactly what the city, suburb, category and brand pages here are for.

Sydney, with 272 branches across 114 suburbs. In total 1201 of our 1450 branches sit inside one of the 39 metro areas we cover; the rest are in regional towns you'll find on the state pages.
Do electrical wholesalers sell to the public?
1449 of the 1450 branches we list run a trade counter. Wholesalers primarily serve licensed electricians with trade accounts, and account holders get pricing the public won't see, but many branches will still sell over the counter to a walk-in. Check the buying-access note on the branch profile, or call ahead.
What is the difference between an electrical wholesaler and a hardware store?
A wholesaler stocks trade-grade electrical product in trade quantities (cable by the drum, switchgear, lighting, data and solar) and prices it off a trade account rather than a shelf ticket. A hardware store carries a thin retail range at retail prices. If you need 100m of TPS or a specific brand of RCBO today, the wholesaler is the one who has it.
Are electrical wholesalers open on Saturday?
316 of the 1450 branches we list open on Saturday, usually for a short morning. The rest trade weekdays only. Every branch profile shows its verified opening hours, so check before you drive.
