Welcome
A Trusted Local Team, Not a Call Centre
Electricians are not in short supply across the upper North Shore. The rare one shows up on the day promised and is still backing the work years on.
We aim to be that one. As the gateway to the North Shore and the administrative centre of Hornsby Shire, this patch stays busy, and we are across it most weeks.
Our NSW Electrical Contractor Licence is #452529C, and we hold Master Electricians Australia membership. You get a fixed written price before we start.
See our about page for how we run things day to day.
What we do
The Electrical Services We Handle Across Hornsby
A spare double power point, a whole-house rewire, and everything between falls to one licensed crew, with the price fixed in writing up front. The list runs like this.
Switchboard Upgrades
A tired fuse box was never built for today's kitchens and appliance loads. Booking a switchboard upgrade gives you a labelled board with a safety switch on every circuit. Burdett Street and the older streets nearby throw up plenty of these.

Light Installation
LED downlights, feature pendants, dimmer circuits and outdoor floodlighting, all hung true and cleaned up after. Ask for light installation to swap a single fitting or relight the whole house in a day.
Learn more
EV Charger Installation
A charger picked for your car and run on its own dedicated line, fitted once the board proves it can take the extra draw. Go with EV charger installation and leave the extension lead in the shed for good.

Emergency Electrician
A hot smell, arcing or power dropping out cannot wait, and those calls reach us at any hour. Get an emergency electrician on the line the moment things seem wrong.
Learn more
Level 2 Electrician
Your service line, point of attachment, meter and consumer mains all sit under Level 2 accreditation, which an ordinary licence cannot cover. Choose Level 2 work for anything between the pole and where the supply reaches your walls.

Residential Electrician
The whole-house trade: hunting faults, pulling in extra circuits, wiring a renovation, bringing an older place up to code. A residential electrician is who you want for work behind the plaster, on your side of the meter.

Local knowledge
Hornsby Homes and What They Need from an Electrician
Under the roof, this is a genuine mix. Federation and Arts-and-Crafts places on the older streets share ground with post-war brick homes, and a rising line of high-rise apartments along the rail corridor by the station.
Each stock throws a different job at us. A period cottage off Dural Street was wired for a plainer time, while an apartment a street over runs modern demand out of the box.
Ageing boards are what we open most. Pre-war and post-war homes on these streets commonly keep their ceramic fuse switchboards, which want a modern circuit-breaker upgrade.
The tell is a board running warm, cutting out under load, or full up with no room for another circuit. That points to a switchboard upgrade, sometimes with heavier supply behind it.
The towers going up by the station bring strata and unit jobs of their own. So one week has us moving between a heritage cottage and a fifth-floor apartment.
Around Florence Street, or up by Westfield Hornsby where the regional shops pull the whole town in, our first move is to open up the meter box before quoting a cent. These houses are rarely wired alike.
Why Hornsby Keeps Choosing Us
Long-held houses and newer units, owners and renters alike, make up this suburb, and callers tend to want one thing: the job done right and done once. This is what keeps them.
Plain English, No Code-Speak
We put the code into plain words right there at the board, so a safety switch (RCD) and the reason each circuit needs one make sense to you, no jargon required.
One Number, Agreed Up Front
The figure is settled and written down before any tool leaves the van. No hourly rates, and no surprises on the invoice once we finish.
Covered for the Life of the Home
A lifetime workmanship guarantee sits behind every finished job. Should a fault ever come back to our work, we come back and fix it at no cost.
A Track Record You Can Check
The name carries 600+ five-star reviews. Mariano, writing on Google, said that after years with us the standard has held every time.
How we work
How We Work on Every Job
Four clear steps run from your first ring through to the compliance certificate at the end. You see each one happen.
- 01
Tell Us What Is Wrong
Tell a local what has failed, or what you would like done, and they find you a slot. The day before your booking, a text reminder lands.
- 02
Quoted On Site
A sparkie visits, sizes the work up on site, and leaves you a quote in writing. Nothing starts until you have said yes to it.
- 03
Fitted and Left Tidy
We lay drop sheets, fit premium Clipsal and Hager switchgear, and mark up every circuit as the wiring goes in.
- 04
Tested and Signed Off
We test the lot, draw up any compliance paperwork the job calls for, and email through the finished photos.
When an Electrical Emergency Strikes in Hornsby
Some faults will not keep until a weekday appointment, and a burning smell is the worst of them. Reach for the phone straight away if any of these show up:
- An acrid, hot smell rising from a powerpoint or the meter box
- Scorching, or warmth you can feel through a switch or fitting
- A safety switch that keeps flicking off the moment you reset it
- Sparking, buzzing or crackling at a socket or light
- One room or wing gone dead while everywhere else keeps power
- Wiring that looks charred, melted or stripped bare
If the whole street is dark, the fault usually belongs to Ausgrid out on the network. From the switchboard into your home, though, it falls to us.
Storms set most of it off. Intense summer thunderstorms overload the ridge stormwater, and a soaked board after a hard downpour is a call we take often.
Turn it off at the switchboard where it is safe to, then ring through. Our response is fast, often same or next day, faster again for the real thing.
Compliant Electrical Work, Done Safely
There is a safety standard every home must meet, we hold to it, and the proof reaches you on paper. Four points stand on any job.
Wired to AS/NZS 3000
The AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules shape the job from first cut to last. New RCD safety switches, plus neatly labelled circuits, come with the work rather than billed on top.
Compliance, Lodged and Logged
A notifiable job ends with the certificate of compliance lodged with NSW Fair Trading. Its cost is already inside your quoted price, not added after.
Accredited and Verified
Our Master Electricians Australia membership is public, so you can verify it yourself instead of trusting a badge on a van.
Licensed and Insured
Whoever climbs into your ceiling holds a verifiable NSW contractor licence, fully insured besides, not just a reassuring word at the door.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A handful of questions come up a lot before a booking. If yours is not covered, just ask when we speak.
Do I get a Certificate of Compliance after the work?
For notifiable jobs, yes. We submit the certificate to NSW Fair Trading, with its cost already built into your quote, so nothing extra turns up at handover.
How does your pricing work?
We do not charge by the hour. You approve a fixed figure in writing before we book the job, and new customers get $50 off your first service.
What suburbs do you service around Hornsby?
Waitara, Asquith, Mount Colah, Normanhurst, Wahroonga and Berowra are all on our weekly run, along with the rest of the Hornsby Shire Council area.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Hornsby?
Coming out to quote is free. You only pay once you have agreed a price for the actual work, and there is no call-out fee tacked onto that.
How much does an electrician cost in Hornsby?
Every job is different, so we price each one after a look. You get a fixed written quote up front, the price we quote is the price you pay, and no hourly clock ticking.
Can you install an EV charger at home?
We do, laying a dedicated circuit and mounting a charger to suit your car after checking the board has capacity to spare. An ageing board sometimes needs sorting first, which we note in the quote.
