Licensed electricians for Chatswood units and houses
A safety switch that keeps tripping, or a unit with no power, needs a licensed electrician in Chatswood. Our electrician Chatswood team takes calls at any hour and works in apartments, townhouses and houses.
Every job is priced before work starts, and the figure is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ, so we quote your visit before we begin.
What electrical problems come up in Chatswood homes?
A switchboard is the panel that splits the incoming power into circuits and holds the breakers. A safety switch is a device that cuts the power in a split second when current leaks to earth.
A safety switch that trips again after a reset has a fault behind it. Tracing the faulty circuit finds the cause, not just the symptom.
Some boards still carry ceramic fuses, or have no safety switch on the lighting and power circuits. Either one needs a look before a new circuit goes on. A switchboard replacement is quoted as a fixed job.
Warning signs at the switchboard
- A breaker that trips again within minutes of a reset.
- Lights that flicker or dim when the oven or a heater starts.
- A warm panel, a crackle or a burnt smell at the board.
- Ceramic fuses where breakers should be.
Circuits for heating, cooling, lighting and appliances in Chatswood
An induction cooktop needs a circuit of its own. We fit oven and cooktop circuits from the board to the appliance, and we swap halogen downlights for LEDs. We also supply and fit ceiling fans.
An electric vehicle charger needs a dedicated circuit too. In an apartment building, the NSW Government says most EV charging projects need owners corporation approval. Some may need a by-law. Our EV charger installation work covers the dedicated circuit and a safe mounting position.

Do I get a certificate after electrical work in Chatswood?
Yes, for electrical work. NSW says electricians must submit a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work whenever electrical work is undertaken. The person who tests the work submits it no later than seven days after the test.
Since 1 July 2026 it has to go through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal. Paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted. The customer is emailed a copy when the electrician adds their email address. Keep it with your property records, and see the NSW electrical compliance page for the detail.

About half were rented, and NSW says landlords must make sure smoke alarms, including heat alarms, are working. A landlord must repair or replace a faulty one within two business days of finding out. Our smoke alarm installation service covers supply and fitting.
In a strata building, who fixes a light depends on where it hangs. The NSW Government strata repairs guide gives the owners corporation lights on common property and lights recessed into the ceiling. The owner gets lights that hang into the property, and broken appliances.
