Local, licensed electricians for Carlton homes and units, just minutes from our Penshurst base.
Carlton sits between Kogarah and Hurstville on the Illawarra line, a few minutes from our base in Penshurst. We work here constantly, from the units near Carlton station to the family homes towards Kogarah Bay.
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).
The streets around Carlton station and Railway Parade are lined with walk-up unit blocks and newer apartment buildings. In older units we often find original switchboards with no RCD protection, kitchen and laundry appliances sharing one overloaded circuit, and smoke alarms that are well past their ten-year life. These are quick, affordable fixes that make a real difference to safety.
South of the railway, Carlton becomes a suburb of brick and weatherboard family homes, many built between the 1920s and 1960s. As they're renovated or replaced with duplexes, we do a lot of work on new circuits, switchboard upgrades, LED lighting and EV chargers. We also find homes where earlier DIY work needs to be made safe.
Carlton has a large number of rental properties, and landlords need working smoke alarms, RCD protection and records. We can check all of it in one visit, ideally between tenancies.
Carlton's mix of units and houses also means plenty of small jobs that are easy to put off: a power point that's stopped working, a light that flickers, an outdoor light that no longer turns on. Because we're so close, these are quick visits for us, and we can often fix several small problems in one trip. If you're planning a bigger job, such as a kitchen renovation or a new switchboard, we'll come out, look at what's there and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
