Licensed electricians for Strathfield houses and flats
Lights that dim when the air conditioner starts, or a power point that has gone dead, call for a licensed electrician in Strathfield. Our electrician Strathfield team takes calls at any hour.
Every job is priced before work starts, and the figure is fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ, so we quote your visit first.
What electrical faults do Strathfield homes run into?
A switchboard is the panel that splits the incoming power into circuits. A safety switch is a device that cuts the power in a split second when current leaks to earth. When a safety switch keeps tripping, fault tracing for repeat trips finds the circuit behind it instead of resetting it.
Some boards still have ceramic fuses. Others have no safety switch on the power and lighting circuits. Either one needs a closer look before a new circuit goes on. A switchboard repair is quoted as a fixed job.
A circuit that overheats or a power point that goes dead can come from a load the wiring wasn’t built for. A new reverse cycle air conditioner on a circuit wired for lights is one example. A circuit of its own fixes that.
Signs your board needs attention
- A safety switch that trips again soon after a reset
- Lights that flicker or dim when a heater or oven starts
- A switchboard that feels warm or smells of burning
- Ceramic fuses, or no safety switches at all
Electrician Strathfield: lights, fans and appliance circuits
Old halogen downlights run hot and draw more power than LEDs. Swapping them for LED downlights lowers the load on the circuit. A new ceiling fan needs a firm fixing and a circuit that can run it.
An induction cooktop or a wall oven needs its own circuit. In an older home the board may need work before it can take one. Our cooktop and oven installation runs from the board to the appliance.
A home EV charger also draws a steady load for hours. It needs a circuit of its own and a board with room for it. Read about EV charger installation before you buy a unit.
A smoke alarm installation job puts alarms where they can hear a fire early. Pick interconnected alarms, so that one sounding sets off the rest.
Emergency electrician Strathfield: any hour, day or night
No power, sparks 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 quote the price before work starts. See how our emergency electrical callouts run.
- Look at the street. If the neighbours’ lights are off too, report the outage to your electricity network.
- If only your home is dark, check the board for a tripped safety switch or main switch.
- Unplug the heater or appliance that was running.
- Stay away from any wire that is down, and treat it as live.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, its 24-hour number for a power outage, hazard or emergency is 13 13 88. Ausgrid says to stay at least 8 metres, or 2 car lengths, away from fallen wires or powerlines. It says to call triple zero (000) in a life-threatening situation.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, it says property owners look after the electrical assets on their property beyond its connection point. That includes private poles, powerlines and pole-top fittings.
Power can surge when supply returns after an outage. A surge protection device is a unit at the switchboard that limits the spike reaching your appliances. Once supply is back, we can check the wiring on your side of the meter.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, its page says Level 2 Accredited Service Providers are authorised for contestable installation work, disconnection and reconnection of supply, and energising installations. We hold Level 2 accreditation (number 5559). Read more about Level 2 electrician work.

In a strata building, the NSW strata repairs guidance says that in most cases the owner looks after lights that hang into the unit. The owners corporation looks after lights on common property and lights recessed into the ceiling.
Electrician Strathfield: whose light is it?
| What needs work | Who looks after it in most cases | What to do first |
|---|---|---|
| A light that hangs into your unit | The unit owner | Book a licensed electrician. |
| A light recessed into the ceiling | The owners corporation | Tell the strata manager or committee. |
| A light in a hallway or other common area | The owners corporation | Tell the building manager or strata manager. |
| A broken appliance in your unit | The unit owner | Book a licensed electrician. |
If you can’t tell who should repair something, NSW says to check your strata plan and by-laws.
