Electricians on call for Maroubra, from flats to family homes
When the lights cut out in a flat or half the power points die in a terrace, you need a licensed electrician in Maroubra. Our electrician Maroubra team answers calls at any hour and works on apartments, townhouses and houses.
Every job is priced before work starts, and the price is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so you hear the price for your visit first.
Which electrical faults come up in Maroubra flats and houses?
A switchboard is the panel that splits incoming power into circuits. It holds the circuit breakers and safety switches. A safety switch is a device that cuts power in a fraction of a second when current leaks to earth.
A board with no safety switch on the lighting and power circuits gives no protection from that kind of leak. Our switchboard upgrade work is priced as a fixed job.
A safety switch that keeps tripping is telling you something. A faulty appliance or a damaged circuit can leak current to earth. We follow the circuit to the cause with electrical fault finding, not just a reset.
Signs your board needs a look
- A safety switch that trips again soon after a reset
- Lights that dim when the oven or air conditioner starts
- A switchboard that feels warm or smells of burning
- Power points that feel hot or look scorched
Lighting, fans and smoke alarms for Maroubra rooms
Old halogen downlights draw more power than LEDs. Our LED downlights swap them over, room by room.
A ceiling fan moves air through a flat on a still night. We handle ceiling fan installation from the wiring to the switch.
A smoke alarm that isn’t working needs repairing or replacing. We fit interconnected smoke alarms, so every alarm sounds when one detects smoke. NSW rental rules for landlords are in the local section below.
Emergency electrician Maroubra: any hour, day or night
No power, sparks or a burning smell deserves a call straight away on 1300 164 206. We answer 24 hours a day, nights and weekends included, and agree the price with you before any work starts. See how our emergency electrical callouts run.
- Look outside. If the neighbours’ lights are off too, report it to Ausgrid.
- If only your home is dark, check the board for a tripped safety switch.
- Unplug TVs, computers and other sensitive equipment to protect them from surges.
- Treat any fallen wire as live and stay well back.
For an electrical fault or emergency, Ausgrid’s number is 13 13 88, and it lists it as 24 hours. If a life is at risk, call triple zero (000) first. Ausgrid says to keep at least 8 metres, or two car lengths, away from fallen wires or powerlines.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, it looks after the network in the street. It says residents are responsible for safety clearances and connection points on the service mains that extend onto the property. All work from the first point of connection on the property is the customer’s electrical installation.
An Authorised and Accredited Service Provider Level 2, or ASP/2, can install, repair or maintain the service lines between a customer installation and Ausgrid’s network. That’s Ausgrid’s wording. We hold Level 2 accreditation (number 5559), and our Level 2 electrician page has the detail.

Will I receive a certificate for electrical work in Maroubra?
NSW Government says electricians must submit a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. The person who carries out the electrical test submits it as soon as practical, and no later than seven days after the test.
From 1 July 2026 it has to go through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal, and paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted. The customer is emailed a copy when their email address is added in the portal. Keep it with your records.
Electrical work across Maroubra’s flats and rentals
The 2021 Census counted 13,598 private dwellings here, and flats are the biggest group.

With 5,099 rented homes in 2021, smoke alarm rules matter. NSW Government says a landlord must repair or replace a smoke alarm within two business days of finding out it isn’t working. It also says a landlord must use a licensed electrician for a hard-wired smoke alarm.
For lights in a strata building, NSW Government splits the job. In most cases a light hanging into your property is yours to look after, while lights on common property and any recessed into the ceiling belong to the owners corporation.
Electrician Maroubra: which light is whose in a strata building?
| The light | Who looks after it | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| A light that hangs into your flat | The owner of the flat | Call a licensed electrician. |
| A light recessed into the ceiling | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager. |
| A light in a hallway or other common property | The owners corporation | Tell your strata manager. |
If it’s unclear who looks after a light, NSW Government says to check your strata plan and by-laws. A tenant should contact their real estate agent or landlord.
