Licensed electricians for Como's riverside and bushland homes.
Como sits on the southern bank of the Georges River, across the water from Oatley, with steep streets, bushland and plenty of waterfront homes. We work here regularly.
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).
Como's housing ranges from post-war cottages and fibro homes to large, renovated riverfront houses. Many of the older homes still have early switchboards with no RCD protection, and some have been extended several times without the board being upgraded. On steep blocks, garages, boatsheds and pools can be a long way from the switchboard, so cables need to be sized carefully to avoid voltage drop.
Riverfront properties often have boatsheds, jetties and pontoons that need power. Anything near the water must be weatherproof and protected by a safety switch, and moisture and salt from the river mean outdoor fittings need regular checking.
Like Jannali and Oatley, Como has a lot of tall trees, so storm damage to service lines and outdoor fittings is something we deal with after big weather.
Older Como homes built from fibro may also contain asbestos, so we plan cable runs through the roof space and subfloor to avoid disturbing it.
Como is usually around 20 minutes from our Penshurst base via Tom Uglys Bridge, outside peak hour. We work in the Sutherland Shire most weeks, so same-day and next-day bookings are often possible. For an emergency, such as sparking, a burning smell or a total loss of power, call 0416 049 923 at any time. Our emergency line is answered 24/7.

If a line is down, hanging low or sparking, stay at least 8 metres away and call Ausgrid's emergency line on 13 13 88 first. Ausgrid is responsible for the network side, up to the connection point on your home. Once it's safe, call us on 0416 049 923 and we'll repair damage on your side, such as the point of attachment, mains cable, meter board and switchboard.
