A licensed electrician for Mount Colah homes and units
A breaker that keeps tripping, or lights that flicker when the oven starts, is a job for a licensed electrician in Mount Colah. Our electrician Mount Colah team takes calls at any hour.
Each job is priced before work starts, and the figure holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ, so we give you the price for your visit first.
What goes wrong with wiring in Mount Colah homes?
The 2021 Census counted 2,236 separate houses and 328 flats or apartments among Mount Colah’s 2,664 occupied homes. Power reaches each one at a switchboard. That’s the panel where power splits into circuits, with a breaker to protect each.
A safety switch is a device that cuts power when current leaks to earth. One that trips again soon after a reset points to a fault on a single circuit. We use methodical fault tracing to find that circuit and the cause.
A board with ceramic fuses needs a look before another circuit goes on. So does one with no safety switch on the lighting and power circuits. We quote a switchboard repair or upgrade before the work starts.
What to watch for at your board
- A breaker or safety switch that trips again soon after a reset
- Lights that dim when the oven or a heater starts
- A switchboard that feels hot or smells burnt
- Ceramic fuses in place of breakers
Appliances, lighting and fans for Mount Colah homes
A large appliance such as an oven, cooktop or air conditioner needs a circuit that can carry its load. If the board is full or old, it needs work before the appliance goes in. We install ovens and cooktops, circuit included: see our appliance installation service.
An LED downlight draws less power than the halogen it replaces, so a room of LED lights eases the load on its circuit. A ceiling fan needs a secure fixing and a circuit that can run it.
Alarms matter in every home. Our smoke alarm installation covers new alarms in houses and apartments.

- Check whether the neighbours’ lights are off too.
