Welcome
Trusted Local Sparkies for Double Bay Homes
This end of the harbour has no shortage of sparkies, in the suburb locals nickname Double Pay for its designer shopfronts. The scarce one keeps to the day you booked and answers for the work long afterwards.
Catch us around these streets most weeks, on the units above the boutiques and the heritage semis set well back behind them.
We work under NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C and belong to Master Electricians Australia. No tool comes out until you have signed off a written price.
The about page lays out how the crew runs.
What we do
Our Electrical Services in Double Bay
A one-socket call-out or a full rewire, it all falls to the same licensed team, and you get the fixed written price before we start. Here is the range.
Switchboard Upgrades
Stack a renovated kitchen on a worn fuse board and its capacity runs out quickly. A switchboard upgrade fits a clearly labelled board with a safety switch guarding every circuit.
Learn more
Light Installation
Recessed LEDs, pendants above the island, dimmers and outdoor floods, each sitting true and tidied off. Book light installation for one new fitting or a whole-house swap.
Learn more
EV Charger Installation
The charger is sized to your car, given a dedicated circuit, and fitted only after we check the board can carry the extra draw. Owners off Bay Street arrange EV charger installation for a proper home charge point, no leads running out over the drive.

Emergency Electrician
A burnt smell, visible arcing or power that keeps dropping gets attention at any hour. Reach an emergency electrician the minute a fault turns dangerous.
Learn more
Level 2 Electrician
The consumer mains, meter and point of attachment fall under Level 2 accreditation that a regular licence does not reach. Pick Level 2 work for anything sitting on the network side of your supply.

Residential Electrician
The whole-house trade: tracing faults, running new circuits and bringing older places up to standard. Arrange a residential electrician for wiring anywhere past the meter and inside the walls.

Local knowledge
Double Bay Homes and What They Need from an Electrician
Flats and apartments dominate the stock here, near enough 77 percent of dwellings, with pre-1940 heritage houses, Art Deco blocks and Victorian semis woven in behind the village core.
Older masonry usually means older wiring. Plenty of these dwellings predate the RCD rules and still run key circuits with no safety switch on them, and that is the fault we turn up most in this postcode.
You spot it when a board keeps tripping under load, or has no free way to take another circuit. Putting an RCD on each circuit usually comes with a switchboard upgrade, and the cabling often wants attention on the same call.
The harbourside apartment blocks bring work of their own, their strata boards leaned on to carry appliance loads no designer allowed for.
Along Knox Street and Cross Street we start at the switchboard and the stripped-back walls before pricing anything. A flat above the shops has next to nothing in common, wiring-wise, with a semi near Steyne Park.
When You Need an Emergency Electrician
Certain faults will not keep until a booking opens up, and scorched plastic is the one you never ignore. Ring us the instant any of the following turns up:
- A hot, chemical whiff coming off the switchboard or a wall socket
- An outlet or fitting warm under the hand, or marked with scorching
- An RCD that snaps back off the instant you push it on
- Popping, buzzing or a spark you can actually see at a switch
- Half the house dark while the other half carries on fine
- Cabling gone black, brittle or bare where the sheathing has failed
When every house on the street loses power together, that is an Ausgrid network fault, not your wiring. Anything from the switchboard inward is ours to sort.
Warm months raise the odds close to the shore. A family gets home from a swim at Murray Rose Pool or Redleaf Beach to find the board dropped out, and the salt breeze off Sydney Harbour eats at foreshore wiring the year round.
Turn it off at the switchboard where that is safe to do, then call it through to us. We respond fast, often same or next day, and quicker again when it is a true emergency.
How we work
How We Work: Quote to Compliance Certificate
The job moves through four plain stages, from your opening call to the sign-off paperwork. Nothing along the way is hidden from you.
- 01
Call and Describe It
Run through the problem, or the job you want priced, with whoever answers, and we hold a slot for you. The afternoon before, a reminder text comes through.
- 02
Quoted On Site
A sparkie comes round, reads the job up close, and leaves a fixed written quote in your hand. Say go and it starts, not a moment sooner.
- 03
Done and Left Tidy
In goes the premium gear, we get the drop sheets down and the place left tidy, and each circuit is labelled as it is run.
- 04
Tested and Signed Off
We test the finished work, prepare the compliance paperwork where the job needs it, and send you the completion photos.
Why So Many Locals Choose Us
Households nearby often hang on to a place for decades, so they look for a sparkie they can ring for years, not a one-and-done. That loyalty is why they stick with us.
Plain English, Always
On site, we explain the standards in ordinary terms, so what a safety switch (RCD) is for and where your circuits actually need one both make sense.
One Price, Fixed In Writing
Your price is locked on paper first, well before a tool comes off the van. We do not charge by the hour, and no surprises on the invoice once we pack up.
Covered for the Life of the Home
Every finished job carries a lifetime workmanship guarantee. Should a fault ever trace back to our workmanship, we come back and fix it at no cost.
A Record You Can Look Up
The name is carried by 600+ five-star reviews. Clifford, writing on Google, called us quick to turn up and a genuine help on the day.

Licensed and Insured
Everyone who heads up into your roof holds a current NSW contractor licence and full insurance, with the paperwork to prove it rather than a word at the door.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A short list of what Double Bay homeowners most often check before a booking goes ahead. Anything not covered here, just bring it up on the call.
What electrical services do you offer?
Everything a home needs: switchboards, lighting, power points, EV chargers, fault finding, rewires and Level 2 work on the supply side. It all sits with one licensed crew.
How does your pricing work?
A free written quote comes first, then a fixed price you sign off before any tool appears. New customers knock $50 off, and we never bill by the hour.
Is my old switchboard dangerous?
An old ceramic-fuse switchboard with no RCD becomes a real hazard once a fault strikes, and plenty behind the village still run them. We check yours over and tell you plainly where it stands.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. We hold NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, carry current insurance and appear on the Master Electricians Australia register, all open to checking before you commit.
Why do older Double Bay homes need switchboard upgrades?
Interwar blocks and pre-1940 houses off Knox Street were wired for a lighter life. Bolt a modern kitchen on and the board runs short, so an upgrade brings it up to standard.
Do you offer emergency electrical work?
We handle genuine emergencies at any hour. Sparking, a scorched smell or a full power loss get priority, and we talk you through the safe first move before anyone arrives.
