A licensed electrician for Wheeler Heights homes, any hour
A power point that has gone dead, a safety switch that won’t stay on or lights that flicker need a licensed electrician in Wheeler Heights. Our electrician Wheeler Heights team answers the phone 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The price is agreed before work starts and stays fixed once you approve it. Evening and weekend rates differ from daytime rates, so ask for the figure before you book.
What electrical faults show up in Wheeler Heights houses?
A switchboard is the panel that splits incoming power into separate circuits. A safety switch is a device that cuts the power the moment current leaks to earth. NSW says it turns the supply off immediately when it detects a fault.
NSW says to press the test button on a safety switch at least every six months. It says a licensed electrician should install them on all circuits. A switch that trips again straight after a reset points to a fault on one circuit. Our electrical fault finding trace that circuit.
A board with ceramic fuses, or one with no space left, needs attention before any new load goes on. We quote a switchboard repair or upgrade as a fixed job.
Signs the board needs a look
- A safety switch that trips again straight after you reset it
- Lights that dim when the oven or kettle switches on
- A switchboard door that feels warm
- A buzzing sound or a scorched smell near a power point
Smoke alarms, lighting and big appliances
NSW puts duties on landlords for smoke alarms in rented homes. It says landlords must make sure smoke alarms, including heat alarms, are working. Each storey of a rented home needs at least one in a hallway outside a bedroom or other suitable location. Our smoke alarm service covers fitting and replacement.
Old halogen downlights can go for LED lighting, which draw less power. An induction cooktop, a wall oven or a ducted air conditioner can need its own circuit, and a full board has to be fixed first.
A wall-mounted car charger runs for hours at a high load. See our EV charger installation service for how the board needs to be ready.
Emergency electrician Wheeler Heights: any hour, day or night
Sparks from a socket, a burning smell or a board that won’t reset can’t wait for morning. Call 1300 164 206. We answer 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and agree the price before work starts.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, its outage page asks whether your neighbours have power. If they do and you don’t, it says the problem might be inside your home, which is where we come in.
The same page passes on NSW Food Authority advice. Food in a fridge can spoil if power is out for more than four hours. A freezer shouldn’t defrost for at least 24 hours if the door is kept shut.
While you wait for us:
- Look at the switchboard for a tripped safety switch.
- Unplug anything that was running when the power failed.
- Keep fridge and freezer doors shut.
- Stay well clear of any fallen wire and treat it as live.
If Ausgrid supplies your home, it says to call 13 13 88 for faults and emergencies, which it lists as 24 hours. It says to stay at least 8 metres, or 2 car lengths, from fallen wires, and to call triple zero in a life threatening situation.
If you run a generator, Ausgrid says never to connect it to the house switchboard or wiring. Here’s how our emergency electrician callouts work.

Electrical work in Wheeler Heights: owners, tenants and private lines
The council’s wards and suburbs page puts Wheeler Heights in the Narrabeen Ward. Ausgrid describes its network as covering Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley. The lines and rules below apply if Ausgrid supplies your home.
Ausgrid says owners are responsible for the electrical assets on their property beyond its connection point. It looks after its own network in the street. It also says owners are responsible for maintaining vegetation around their private overhead powerlines and poles. Tree trimming near Ausgrid powerlines must be done by accredited workers.
Ausgrid says an Authorised and Accredited Service Provider Level 2 (ASP/2) can install, repair or maintain the overhead or underground service lines. Those lines run between a customer installation and Ausgrid’s electricity network. See our Level 2 electrician page for what that covers.
