Dundas
ElectricianSwitchboards, Safety Switches & EV

Dundas is a hilly suburb in the City of Parramatta, between the Parramatta River flats and the ridge towards Carlingford. Housing ranges from a few older weatherboard cottages to post-war brick homes and, more recently, apartments near the light rail corridor.

In the post-war houses, the original wiring was often extended piece by piece over the decades. A typical inspection turns up a mix of old and new cable, power points added off existing circuits, and a board that protects only some circuits with a safety switch. Sloping blocks also mean many homes have a lower level or garage that was fitted out later.

Work that suits Dundas

For older houses, the priorities are usually a switchboard upgrade, full RCD protection and a check of any cable that may be past its life, followed by a partial or full rewire where it is needed. Families extending downstairs often need new circuits for a rumpus room, laundry or split system.

Unit owners more often ask about lighting upgrades, extra power points and charging an electric car. In apartment buildings, an EV charger generally needs strata approval and a check of the building's spare capacity before anything is installed.

Before we start

We quote first and explain what is essential and what can wait. If you are renovating, getting us in before the plasterboard goes up saves time and keeps cable runs neat. All circuits are tested at the end, and certification is lodged for work that needs it.
