Licensed electricians for Matraville homes, day or night
A power point that sparks or a board that trips twice a day needs a licensed electrician in Matraville. Our electrician Matraville team takes calls at any hour.
We agree the price before work starts, and it’s fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ, so we quote the visit first.
What electrical faults do Matraville homes have?
A switchboard splits the incoming power into circuits. Each circuit has its own breaker. A safety switch is a device that cuts power in a split second when current leaks to earth.
When a breaker or safety switch keeps tripping, tracing a tripping circuit finds the cause instead of resetting it. A board with ceramic fuses, or no safety switch, needs a closer look first. A switchboard safety check is quoted as a fixed job.
Ausgrid says a zap, tingle or shock from a tap, appliance or power point isn’t normal. Keep away from the spot until Ausgrid and a licensed electrician say it’s safe. If Ausgrid supplies your home, call it on 13 13 88.
Signs your board needs attention
- A safety switch that won’t stay on after a reset
- Lights that flicker when a large appliance starts
- A hot panel, or a smell of burning near the board
- Ceramic fuses, or no safety switches at all
Lighting, appliances and fans for Matraville households
A new oven or cooktop needs the right circuit behind it. Our oven and cooktop connections start at the board and finish at the appliance. Old halogen downlights run hot. A swap to LED cuts the load on the circuit.
A ceiling fan needs a solid fixing and a circuit that can carry it. Outdoor lights and power points need weatherproof fittings and a safety switch on their circuit.
NSW says apartments, townhouses and villas in a strata scheme follow the same repair rules. In most cases the owner looks after lights that hang into the property. The owners corporation looks after lights on common property and lights recessed into the ceiling.
Emergency electrician Matraville: any hour, day or night
Sparks at a power point, a burning smell or a total blackout deserves a call on 1300 164 206. We answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and agree the price before work starts. Here’s how we handle urgent electrical faults.
- Look out the window: are the streetlights out, and do your neighbours have power?
- If only your home is dark, check the board for a tripped safety switch.
- Unplug sensitive equipment such as TVs and computers.
- Leave one light switched on, so you know when power returns.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, report faults and emergencies to it on 13 13 88. It answers 24 hours a day. Call triple zero 000 first in a life-threatening situation.
For a fallen powerline, Ausgrid says to stay at least 8 metres, or two car lengths, away. If you run a generator in an outage, Ausgrid says never to connect it to the house switchboard.
Ausgrid says a Level 2 Authorised and Accredited Service Provider 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).
Ausgrid says storms and lightning can cause power surges. A licensed electrician can advise on protection.

Do I get a compliance certificate for electrical work in Matraville?
NSW requires electricians to provide a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. The person who carries out the electrical test submits it. That’s as soon as practical, and no later than seven days after the test.
From 1 July 2026 it must go through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal. Paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted. The customer gets a copy by email when the electrician adds their email address in the portal. Keep it with your home’s records.

Matraville homes in the 2021 Census
Source: ABS Census QuickStats. The ABS makes small random changes to figures for privacy.
The 2021 Census counted 1,197 rented homes in Matraville. NSW Fair Trading says landlords must keep smoke alarms working and check them every year, and must use a licensed electrician for a hard-wired alarm. It lists some exceptions for strata schemes. We supply smoke alarm installation for rented and owned homes.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, it says owners keep private overhead powerlines free of vegetation. Accredited workers must do any trimming near its powerlines. Ausgrid sets out who clears what by where the tree stands.
Electrician Matraville: who clears the tree near the wires?
| Where the tree stands | Who clears the growth | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| On your own property, over your service wire | You, up to your boundary | Use accredited workers near powerlines. |
| A council tree on the verge or footpath | Ausgrid | It clears growth on either or both sides of the boundary line, as needed to keep your service wire safe. |
| A neighbour’s tree growing over the boundary | Ausgrid | It clears all growth that affects your service wire. |
