Licensed electricians for Hurstville units and houses
A tripping safety switch, a dead power point or a burning smell needs a licensed electrician in Hurstville, and our team takes calls at any hour.
Our electrician Hurstville crew works on apartments and houses alike. Every job is priced before work starts, and the price is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, and we quote the price first.
Which electrical faults do Hurstville homes run into?
A switchboard is the panel that splits the incoming power into circuits and holds the breakers and safety switches. A safety switch is a device that cuts power in a fraction of a second when current leaks to earth. Plenty of faults start at the board.
A safety switch that trips again after a reset points to a leak to earth on that circuit or on an appliance plugged into it. We use step-by-step fault tracing to find the circuit and the cause, rather than resetting and hoping.
A board with no safety switches on the lighting and power circuits is worth upgrading. Our switchboard upgrade work is priced as a fixed job, and the new board carries a safety switch on every circuit.
Apartments add a second layer. NSW Government strata guidance says lights that hang into your property are the owner’s job to repair. Lights on common property, and lights recessed into the ceiling, are the owners corporation’s to repair.
Signs your board needs attention
- A safety switch that trips again straight after a reset
- Lights that dim when the oven or heater starts
- A board that feels warm or smells of burning
- Power points that are dead on one circuit only
Cooling, lighting and appliances for Hurstville homes
An induction cooktop or a new wall oven can need its own circuit, and the board has to have room for it. We handle oven and cooktop installation from the board to the benchtop.
Swapping old halogen downlights for LED lighting upgrades cuts running costs. In a strata building, check first which lights are yours. Recessed ceiling lights are the owners corporation’s, says the NSW guidance.
A ceiling fan on a low setting moves air through a room without running the air conditioner flat out. We install fans through our ceiling fan installation service.
Emergency electrician Hurstville: any hour, day or night
No power, a burning smell or a board that won’t reset needs a call straight away on 1300 164 206. We answer 24 hours a day, nights and weekends included, and agree the price before any work starts. Here is how our urgent electrical callouts work.
If the power goes out:
- Check whether your neighbours have power.
- Look at your board for a tripped safety switch or main switch.
- Treat any fallen line as live.
- If the board won’t reset, call us at any hour.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, report a fallen or damaged powerline to Ausgrid on 13 13 88, which runs 24 hours. Stay at least 8 metres, or two car lengths, from fallen wires, says Ausgrid. In a life-threatening situation, call 000. Ausgrid’s fallen powerline page has the detail.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, it says property owners are responsible for the electrical assets on their property beyond its connection point, including private power poles, powerlines and pole-top fittings. It also says an Authorised and Accredited Service Provider Level 2 can install, repair or maintain the overhead or underground service lines between a customer installation and its network. We hold Level 2 accreditation, number 5559.

Do I get a compliance certificate for electrical work in Hurstville?
Yes. Electricians must provide Building Commission NSW with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. The person who tests the work submits it as soon as practical, and no later than seven days after the test. From 1 July 2026, every one goes through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal. Paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted.
The customer is emailed a copy when their email address is added to the certificate. The NSW Government page sets out the rules.

Six in ten occupied homes are flats. In a strata building, lights that hang into your lot are yours to repair, while common property is the owners corporation’s. The Census also counted 3,164 separate houses.
Electrician Hurstville: who looks after the light?
| The light or fitting | Who repairs it | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| A light that hangs into your unit | The owner of the unit | Book a licensed electrician. |
| A recessed light in the ceiling | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
| A light in a shared hallway | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager or committee. |
| A light in a rented unit | The landlord or agent | Report it to them first. |
If you can’t tell whose it is, the NSW guidance says to check your strata plan and by-laws.
