Electrician Randwick
Fault finding, switchboard upgrades, appliance circuits and smoke alarms for Randwick flats and houses, done by licensed local electricians.
A licensed electrician for Randwick flats and houses, day or night
A breaker that trips whenever the oven and the air conditioner run together is a job for a licensed electrician in Randwick. Our electrician Randwick team takes calls at any hour.
Every job is priced before work starts, and the price is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ, so we quote your visit first.
What electrical faults turn up in Randwick flats and houses?
In a strata building, who repairs what splits in two. NSW Government says that in most cases lights that hang into your property and broken appliances are the owner’s to repair. Lights on common property, and any lights recessed into the ceiling, are the owners corporation’s.
A switchboard is the panel that splits incoming power into circuits. A safety switch is a device that cuts the power in a split second when current leaks to earth. When one keeps tripping, tracing the faulty circuit finds the cause instead of resetting it.
Some boards still have ceramic fuses, or no safety switch on the lighting and power circuits. A switchboard upgrade is quoted as a fixed job.
Signs your board needs attention
- A safety switch that trips again within minutes of a reset
- Lights that flicker or dim when the oven or a heater starts
- A warm panel, a crackle or a burnt smell at the board
- Ceramic fuses where breakers and safety switches should be
Electrician Randwick: cooking, lighting and smoke alarms
A new oven or induction cooktop can draw more current than the one it replaces, so the circuit and the board have to cope with it. That’s worth settling before the appliance arrives.
In a strata building, NSW Government lists changes to recessed light fittings, and installing or replacing wiring, cabling, power or access points, as minor renovations. Minor renovations need approval, so you contact the owners corporation, strata committee or strata managing agent and ask permission.
In the 2021 Census, 5,947 Randwick homes were rented (50.5%). NSW Government says landlords must keep smoke alarms working and repair or replace one within two business days of finding out it isn’t. They must also check smoke alarms every year. Our smoke alarm fitting and checks cover Randwick homes.
Emergency electrician Randwick: any hour, day or night
No power, a burning smell or a board that won’t reset 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 our emergency electrician callouts work.
If the power goes out:
- Check the streetlights and ask a neighbour whether their power is off too.
- If only your home is dark, look at the board for a tripped safety switch or main switch.
- Switch off and unplug sensitive equipment, such as TVs and computers, to protect it from surges.
- If the board won’t reset, call us at any hour.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, report an electrical fault or emergency to it on 13 13 88, which runs 24 hours. In a life-threatening situation, call triple zero (000). Stay at least 8 metres, or two car lengths, from fallen wires or powerlines.
Ausgrid also treats a shock or tingle from a tap or metal object as an emergency. It says it can’t repair customer equipment past the connection point, such as service wires and private poles.
Ausgrid says a Level 2 accredited service provider can install, repair or maintain the service lines between a customer installation and its network. We hold that accreditation (number 5559).

Does electrical work in Randwick need a compliance certificate?
Yes. Whenever electrical work has been undertaken, NSW electricians must submit a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. The person who carries out the electrical test submits it no later than seven days after the test. From 1 July 2026 it goes through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal. The NSW Government says 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 the records for the home.
