Haberfield
ElectricianSwitchboards, Lighting & Power Points

Haberfield, in the Inner West Council area and on the Ausgrid network, is known as an early planned garden suburb. Most streets are lined with federation bungalows, many inside a heritage conservation area, with ornate ceilings, timber joinery and leadlight that owners rightly want to protect.

Rewiring without damaging the house

Much of the original and early replacement wiring in these homes is now well past its service life. A rewire in a federation house is mostly about access: working through the roof space and under the floor, fishing cables down wall cavities and avoiding cuts to decorative plaster and cornices wherever possible.

We can keep original ceiling roses and fit reproduction-style switches and power points so new work suits the interior.

Other common jobs

• Switchboard upgrades from fuses to RCBOs
• Safety switches on older lighting and power circuits
• Pendant, wall and garden lighting suited to period homes
• Kitchen and rear-extension circuits for induction cooking and air conditioning
• Hardwired smoke alarms
• EV chargers in rear garages and carports

What to expect

We inspect the board and the roof space before quoting, so the price reflects what is really there. Old circuits are insulation-tested, and once the work is finished you receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work where required. If you are renovating, bring us in early so cabling can go in before walls are closed.

We also work in Ashfield, Five Dock, Leichhardt and Summer Hill. Call 0421 772 661 to arrange a Haberfield quote.
