A licensed electrician for Waverton units and homes
A tripping safety switch or a dead power point at dinner time needs a licensed electrician in Waverton. Our electrician Waverton team answers calls at any hour and works in flats, terraces and houses.
Every job is priced before work starts, and that price holds once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so we give you the price first.
Which electrical faults show up in Waverton homes?
A switchboard is the panel that splits incoming power into circuits. It holds the breakers and safety switches. A safety switch is a device that shuts off power the moment current leaks to earth. Both matter in a flat and a house.
A board that keeps tripping has a cause. Look for an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance or damp in a fitting. Our fault finding service traces the circuit before anyone resets and hopes.
Check an old board for safety switches and spare room before you add an oven or a heater. Our switchboard repair and upgrade work is priced as a fixed job.
Signs your switchboard needs attention
- A safety switch that trips again straight after you reset it.
- Lights that dim or flicker when an appliance starts.
- A board that feels warm, buzzes or smells of burning.
- Ceramic fuses, or no safety switches on lighting and power.
Electrician Waverton: lights, appliances and fans
A ceiling fan keeps air moving in a stuffy room. Our team can quote ceiling fan installation as a fixed job.
Swapping old downlights for modern LED lighting cuts the running cost. In a strata building, NSW says the owner usually looks after lights that hang into the property. The owners corporation looks after lights on common property and lights recessed into the ceiling.
A new oven or induction cooktop needs a circuit that can carry its load. Check the rating before you buy.

If the power goes out
- Look out the window. Are streetlights off and do neighbours have power?

- Switch off and unplug sensitive equipment.
- Keep away from fallen powerlines and trees across wires.

Do I get a compliance certificate for electrical work in Waverton?
Yes, NSW requires electricians to submit one whenever electrical work has been undertaken. The person who carries out the test submits the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. NSW says that must happen as soon as practical, and no later than seven days after the test.
Since 1 July 2026 every certificate goes through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal. Paper and PDF forms are no longer accepted. If the electrician adds your email address, the system sends you a copy once the certificate is lodged. Keep it with your records.
