Licensed electricians for Bondi terraces, apartments and beachside homes, with a fixed price before any work starts.
Bondi is one of the busiest parts of our Eastern Suburbs run. We work in everything from Federation terraces off Bondi Road to red-brick walk-ups near the beach and renovated family homes up the hill towards Bellevue Hill. Whether it's a safety switch that won't reset, a kitchen renovation that needs new circuits or a landlord who needs smoke alarms sorted before a new lease, we'll do it properly.
PrimeTime Electrical & Communications is a licensed NSW electrical contractor (Lic. 486625C) and fully insured. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, and installation work comes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW).
A lot of Bondi's housing was built between the 1900s and the 1930s. Terraces and semis often have tiny meter boxes on the front verandah, switchboards squeezed into hallways, and wiring that has been extended room by room as the house was renovated. It's common to find a mix of old rubber-insulated cable, newer TPS cable and circuits that run further than anyone expected. Upgrading the switchboard and adding RCD safety switches on every circuit is usually the first thing we recommend.
The interwar and 1960s apartment blocks that fill the streets near the beach have their own quirks. Meters and main switches are often in a shared room or cupboard, with a small board inside each unit. When a unit keeps tripping, the cause can be inside the unit or back at the main board, so we test both before we change anything.
Then there's the salt. Within a few streets of the beach, sea spray corrodes outdoor power points, light fittings, meter boxes and the terminals inside them far faster than it does inland. Many of the faults we find in Bondi start with a corroded connection outside, so we use weatherproof, marine-grade fittings wherever they're exposed.
We're based in Penshurst, so Bondi is a planned trip for us rather than around the corner. Outside peak hour it's usually 30 to 40 minutes via General Holmes Drive and Southern Cross Drive. We group Eastern Suburbs jobs together, which means we can often book you in the same day or the next day. For an emergency, such as sparking, a burning smell or a total loss of power, call 0416 049 923 at any time and we'll tell you honestly how quickly we can be there.

In older terraces and semis we often find original or partly updated wiring, small switchboards with no safety switches, and circuits that have been extended many times. Near the beach, salt air corrodes outdoor power points, lights and meter boxes, which can cause tripping and intermittent faults.
