Licensed electricians for Five Dock homes, at any hour
A board that trips when the oven goes on, a dead power point or lights that flicker need a licensed electrician in Five Dock. Our electrician Five Dock team takes calls day and night.
We agree the price before work starts. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so you hear the price for your visit first.
What electrical faults turn up in Five Dock homes?
A switchboard is the panel that splits incoming power into circuits. It holds the circuit breakers and the safety switches. A safety switch is a device that cuts power in a fraction of a second when current leaks to earth.
A safety switch that trips again after a reset is telling you something. Book fault finding for tripping circuits and an electrician will trace which circuit or appliance is leaking.
If your board has old fuses, or no safety switches on the lighting and power circuits, an upgrade adds protection to each circuit. Our switchboard upgrades are quoted as a fixed price before we begin.
Signs your board needs attention
- A safety switch that keeps tripping
- Lights that dim when the kettle or a heater starts
- A board that feels warm or smells of burning
- Old fuses with no safety switch beside them
Lighting, fans and appliances for Five Dock flats and houses
Swapping old halogen downlights for LED lighting upgrades cuts the running cost of a room.
An induction cooktop or a wall oven usually needs its own circuit, and the board needs room for it. Our cooktop and oven installation runs from the board to the appliance.
A ceiling fan moves air in summer. On a low setting in reverse, it pushes warm air back down from the ceiling in winter.

Do I get a certificate for electrical work in Five Dock?
Yes, for work that needs one. NSW Government says the person who tests the work must submit a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, no later than seven days after the test. From 1 July 2026 that’s through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal, and paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted.
If your email address is added when the certificate is completed, the portal sends you a copy when it’s lodged.

Electrical work in Five Dock’s flats, townhouses and houses
The NSW Electoral Commission lists Five Dock under City of Canada Bay Council. The ABS counted these homes in the 2021 Census.

The ABS also counted 1,407 rented homes (36.7%). NSW Government says landlords must make sure smoke alarms, including heat alarms, are working. A faulty alarm must be repaired or replaced within two business days of the landlord finding out. We handle fitting new smoke alarms as part of our electrical work.
In a strata building, NSW Government’s repairs page says owners repair anything within their own property. The owners corporation or strata committee repairs common property. In most cases, lights and appliances split as the table shows.
Electrician Five Dock: who looks after which light?
