ElectricianSwitchboards, Lighting & Power Points

Lakemba is in the City of Canterbury-Bankstown and is supplied by Ausgrid. The suburb has a busy shopping strip along Haldon Street, plenty of red-brick walk-up units, and streets of inter-war and post-war bungalows, many of which have been extended or replaced with duplexes.

Older bungalows

Homes built before the 1960s often still contain early wiring, and decades of extensions mean circuits can be overloaded or poorly protected. Signs that it is time for a check include warm switches or outlets, flickering lights, fuses that blow often and a board with no safety switches. A switchboard upgrade with RCBOs, and rewiring where cable is deteriorating, are the usual fixes.

Renovations are a good chance to add power points where they are actually needed, reducing reliance on power boards and extension leads.

Units and duplexes

In walk-up blocks, individual unit boards are often small and outdated. Upgrading them, along with interconnected smoke alarms, is common for owners and for landlords preparing a property for new tenants. New duplexes usually need extras after handover: outdoor lighting, ceiling fans, and dedicated circuits for air conditioning.

Shops

For retailers and food businesses, we handle shopfront and display lighting, new circuits for fridges, ovens and other equipment, and fault finding when breakers trip under load.

How we quote

A photo of your switchboard is usually the starting point, along with a note on what is not working or what you would like added. Work is tested before we finish and certified where required. Call 0421 772 661 to book in Lakemba.
