Electrician Sutherland Shire

If you have lived in the Shire for any length of time, you know the housing here has a particular character. Most of Cronulla, Miranda, Caringbah and Sutherland was built between 1960 and 1980, which means a lot of homes are running on electrical systems that are 40 to 60 years old. We see the same issues week after week: ceramic fuse boxes that should have been replaced 20 years ago, 60 amp mains trying to run three split systems and a pool pump, and switchboards tucked into garages that have never had an RCD fitted.

The beach lifestyle puts extra strain on electrical systems too. Salt air creeps inland from Cronulla and affects outdoor GPOs, pool equipment and switchboards in exposed locations. If your outdoor powerpoints keep corroding or your pool light has stopped working, that is the coastal environment doing its thing. We use marine grade fittings for any outdoor work within a few kilometres of the beach.

Then there is the bushfire factor. Properties backing onto the Royal National Park in Engadine, Heathcote and Waterfall sit in designated bushfire zones. We handle BAL rated installations and can advise on protecting your meter box and cables from ember attack. It is not something most sparkies think about until there is a problem.

We have been working in the Shire for years. We know which streets flood in heavy rain, which 1970s estates have the dodgiest original wiring, and how to get to a Kurnell job when Captain Cook Drive is backed up. When your power goes out at 10pm on a Friday in Gymea or Jannali, you want someone local who can actually get there quickly. We are based nearby and most callouts in the Shire we can reach within 30 to 45 minutes.
