Bankstown
Electrician Switchboards, Safety Switches & EV

Bankstown is about 19 km south-west of the Sydney CBD, within the City of Canterbury-Bankstown local government area. The local rail link is Bankstown station. Local shopping: Bankstown Plaza. Nearby you'll find Paul Keating Park and Bankstown City Gardens. Housing ranges from 1960s and 70s walk-up flats to mid-rise and high-rise apartment blocks, plus 1950s and 60s houses, a good share of them fibro.

Before anything else, the switchboard

Unit switchboards in older Bankstown blocks are often original, with two or three fuses for the whole flat. Overheated fuse holders and scorched backing boards are warning signs worth acting on. If the board can't carry what you want to add, we upgrade it first, then install the new circuits.

Other things we often find

Balcony lighting and power in apartments needs weatherproof fittings and building approval for any external change. Postwar extensions were often wired off the nearest circuit, leaving lighting circuits and power points chained further than they should be. Walk-up units often have only a couple of power points per room, so power boards run everywhere.
