Welcome
Licensed, Local and Trusted in Frenchs Forest
This suburb sits in the Forest District, the run of bushland streets locals just call The Forest. We are out here most weeks and know how these homes are wired.
Your job is carried out by a licensed, fully insured electrician. Call us and you speak to a real person, not a call centre, with a fixed written price before we start.
Every Electrical Service Frenchs Forest Homes Call For
From a flickering downlight to a full board replacement, this is the work we take on across the Forest District.
- Switchboard upgrades: tired boards near Bantry Bay Road brought up to standard with a safety switch on every circuit.
- Light installation: downlights, LED swaps, and outdoor or security lighting fitted and certified.
- EV charger installation: a home charge point wired and load-tested so the car tops up safely overnight.
- Emergency electrician: quick help when the power drops out, you smell something burning, or a circuit will not stop tripping.
- Level 2 electrician: metering and service work on the poles and mains between your house and the grid.
- Residential electrician: power points, ceiling fans, rewires and the everyday jobs that keep a house running.
Local knowledge
Frenchs Forest Homes and What They Need from an Electrician
Most of the housing here is detached and went up between the 1960s and 1980s, the post-war growth of the Forest District. The 2021 census put separate houses at 92.5% of all homes.
That vintage shows up in the wiring. Older detached houses often predate the rule for a safety switch (RCD) on every circuit, so plenty of boards still need one fitted.
Places backing onto Garigal National Park sit right on the bushland edge. Their outdoor power points, garden lights and pool circuits cop heavy use and are worth a regular safety check.
On long-established streets like Sorlie Road, we still open boards from the original build. A switchboard upgrade is often the one job that brings a home like that up to current standards.
Common Call-Outs Across the Forest District
A few jobs come up again and again on the older detached stock. Each one traces back to homes built before today's wiring rules.
Sorting them early usually costs far less than waiting for a fault to force your hand.
- Ceramic-fuse boards from the first build, replaced with a modern board and proper safety switches.
- Partial and full rewires as owners renovate the 1960s to 1980s homes room by room.
- Extra circuits and power points added when a new kitchen or extension outgrows the old wiring.
When an Electrical Emergency Strikes in Frenchs Forest
Power that drops out overnight, a hot smell from a socket, or a breaker that trips again and again needs a quick answer, not a booking for next week. Call (02) 9073 7836 and someone real picks up, day or night.
Winters on the ridge run cooler and wetter than the beaches, so losing power at home bites harder in the colder months. We prioritise anything unsafe and get to you fast.
First, stay safe. Where you can, turn it off at the switchboard and keep clear.
If the whole street is dark, the trouble may sit with the network rather than your house, and Ausgrid handles the supply side before our work starts.
How We Work: Quote to Compliance Certificate
No surprises, from booking right through to sign-off. A typical job runs in four steps.
- Book in. We find a time that suits and arrive when we said we would.
- Fixed quote. You get a fixed written price before we start, with no call-out fee for the visit.
- The work. The job is done properly the first time, drop sheets down and the place left tidy.
- Sign-off. Everything is tested before we sign off, and notifiable electrical work is lodged with NSW Fair Trading.
Why So Many Locals Choose Us
These are settled family homes, mostly owner-occupied and kept for the long haul. Owners here want work that lasts and a sparkie they are happy to call again.
So we stand behind it. Our work carries a lifetime workmanship guarantee, backed by a 12-month product warranty, and if anything is off we come back and fix it at no cost.
Tina had us handle a three-phase upgrade with data cabling and said both went in cleanly, with quick answers to every question. Dion put it plainly after his job: on time, kept in the loop, and the place left spotless.

Compliant Electrical Work, Done Safely
Electrical work is no job for a weekend fix-it session. DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW, and a licensed sparkie keeps you, the house and your insurance in the clear.
We add a safety switch on every circuit that is missing one, and every job is tested before we sign off. If a repair uncovers something unsafe nearby, it is explained in plain english with your options laid out.
Our Credentials and Standards
Every job is backed by the paperwork that matters. We hold NSW electrical contractor licence #452529C and carry full insurance.
We fit Clipsal and Hager switchgear, not cheap imports, and wire to the AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules. That is the standard that keeps a home safe and compliant for years.
Want to see the paperwork? Ask for the licence details and the certificate for your job, and we will hand them over.
Homes That Now Work From Home
With the Northern Beaches Hospital precinct and the Forestway centre close at hand, more houses here double as offices. That puts fresh demand on circuits the original builders never planned for.
A dedicated circuit for the study, a few extra power points and tidy data cabling take the strain off older wiring. It is a small job that stops a desk setup from tripping the whole room.
We can also add surge protection at the board, so one spike does not take out the computer and the fridge together.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you charge a call-out fee in Frenchs Forest?
There is no call-out fee, and quotes are free, whether you are off Bantry Bay Road or up by the Forestway shops. You get a fixed written price before we start, so the figure you approve is the figure you pay.
What suburbs do you service around Frenchs Forest?
We cover the Forest District and the wider Northern Beaches, taking in Forestville, Belrose, Davidson, Beacon Hill, Allambie Heights and Roseville. If your street is close by, we can usually help.
Do you offer emergency electrical work?
Yes. Day or night, we come out for lost power, hot smells and circuits that will not stop tripping, and a real person answers the phone.
Do I get a Certificate of Compliance after the work?
For any notifiable electrical work, you receive a certificate of compliance for electrical work once the job has been tested and signed off.
How much does an electrician cost in Frenchs Forest?
Every home is different, and plenty of the older boards across the Forest District need more than a like-for-like swap. You always get a fixed written price before we start, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Do you do small jobs like a single power point?
Of course. One power point or a dead light is worth our time, the same as a full rewire, so book it in and we will sort it.
