Electrical Solutions We Offer

Residential
Home jobs in Waratah are mostly about bringing older houses up to scratch: complete and partial rewires, new switchboards, RCD and safety switch fitting, LED lighting upgrades, additional power outlets, and dedicated circuits for appliances and air con.

Commercial
Waratah shops, offices and medical suites near the Calvary Mater hospital get lighting and power layouts, three phase supply, appliance test and tag, exit and emergency light checks, switchboard compliance work, and regular preventative maintenance.
Bringing Waratah Homes Up To Modern Electrical Standards
A lot of Waratah housing was wired for a very different household. Two or three circuits, a ceramic fuse board and no earth leakage protection was normal, and plenty of homes here still run close to that.
Add a modern kitchen, reverse cycle air conditioning and a home office and the original installation is well past what it was designed for. We assess honestly and upgrade what genuinely needs it.
Over 40 Years of Combined Experience
Over the decades our team has worked through a great many of Waratah's federation and post-war homes. Whatever old wiring type is behind the plaster, we have dealt with it before.
Reliable and Punctual
We arrive when we say. Waratah jobs are booked with realistic durations, because rewiring an older home properly takes longer than a quick quote might suggest and we would rather be upfront.
Quality Work
Proper cable, quality switchgear and correctly rated protection. On older homes we replace rather than patch when the existing installation is genuinely at end of life, and we explain why.
Safety and Transparency
Safety switches, testing and certification on every job, with clear labelling so you understand your own switchboard. If we find something dangerous, you hear about it straight away.
Emergency Services
Ageing wiring in Waratah homes can give out with no warning. Within business hours we put urgent calls first, whether it is a burning smell, a sparking power point, a dead circuit or a board that keeps tripping.
Trustworthy Electricians
Licensed, insured and gentle with older homes. Original plaster, cornices and timber floorboards are covered up properly, and we vacuum up afterwards instead of leaving dust through the rooms.
How Our Residential Electrician Works



Consultation
Phone us and explain what the house is doing. Blown fuses, flickering lights or a board that trips when everything runs each point to a particular cause, so we can often narrow it down before we arrive.


Visit Your Home
We open up the switchboard and look over the wiring to gauge its real age and condition. Your quote is fixed and itemised, with a ranked list of priorities instead of a single all-or-nothing number.


Electrical Work
All work follows AS/NZS 3000 and is staged so most of the house keeps power. Older Waratah homes have delicate finishes, so we take our time with them rather than rushing.


Quality Check
Each circuit is tested and labelled, and we show you how the new safety switches work. You get a Certificate of Compliance, handy whenever you sell, insure or refinance.
