Every job is priced before work starts. Evening and weekend rates differ, so you get the price for your visit before we begin.
What electrical problems show up in Mount Kuring-Gai houses?
The 2021 Census counted 585 occupied homes here, and 555 were separate houses. Every house has a switchboard, with the wiring behind it.
A safety switch is a device that cuts power when current leaks to earth. Some boards have ceramic fuses, or no safety switch on the lighting and power circuits. Upgrading an old switchboard can add that protection.
A circuit that trips again after a reset has a cause: an overloaded circuit, a damaged cable or a faulty appliance. Fault tracing looks for which one, instead of just resetting the breaker.
Signs your board needs attention
- A safety switch that trips again straight after a reset
- Lights that dim when a large appliance starts
- A switchboard that feels warm or smells of burning
- Ceramic fuses, or no safety switches on lighting and power
Chargers, cooktops and fans for family homes
At the 2021 Census, 252 occupied homes in Mount Kuring-Gai had two vehicles and 137 had three or more. If one of those vehicles is electric, board checks for EV charging come first. A fixed charger needs a spare circuit on the switchboard.
An induction cooktop or a wall oven usually needs its own circuit. Our electrician Mount Kuring-Gai crew handles cooktop and oven installation from the board to the appliance.
A ceiling fan on its summer setting moves air through a room. Reversed on a low setting in winter, it pushes warm air back down from the ceiling.
Emergency electrician Mount Kuring-Gai: 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 with you before any work starts. Here’s how our urgent electrical faults work.
- Check whether the neighbours have power.
- Look for a tripped safety switch or main switch on your board.
- Treat any fallen line as live.
- If the board won’t reset, call us at any hour.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, report a street fault to Ausgrid on 13 13 88. That line runs 24 hours. Stay at least 8 metres, or two car lengths, away from fallen wires. In a life threatening situation, call triple zero 000.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, it supplies power to the connection point on the property. Owners are responsible for the electrical assets beyond it. That includes any private poles and powerlines on the block, which the owner keeps safe and clear of vegetation. Ausgrid trims vegetation near powerlines to reduce the risk of outages, electrical fires and power surges. Ausgrid explains the split on its site.
Ausgrid says a Level 2 accredited service provider can install, repair or maintain the overhead or underground service lines. These run between a customer installation and its electricity network. We hold Level 2 accreditation, number 5559.

What paperwork follows electrical work in Mount Kuring-Gai?
The electrician who tests the work submits a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. That happens no later than seven days after the test. From 1 July 2026 it goes through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal, and paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted.
If your email address is added in the portal, the system sends you a copy once the certificate is lodged. NSW Government sets out the rules for electricians.
