Licensed electricians for Coogee's beachside units, family homes and holiday rentals.
Coogee is a beach suburb with a lot of apartments, a lot of rentals and a lot of salt in the air. Those three things account for most of the work we do here: repairing corroded fittings, upgrading switchboards and safety switches in older units, and keeping rental properties compliant. We give you a fixed price before any work starts.
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).
Much of Coogee's housing is made up of art deco and 1960s walk-up apartment blocks, with Federation homes and semis on the streets further back from the beach. Older units often still have their original switchboards, little or no RCD protection, and kitchen circuits that weren't designed for today's appliances. Upgrading the board and separating the busiest circuits solves most nuisance tripping.
Close to the beach, salt spray corrodes outdoor power points, lights, balcony fittings and meter boxes. We often find that a safety switch tripping after rain is caused by water getting into a corroded outdoor fitting. Replacing it with a weatherproof, marine-grade fitting usually fixes the problem.
Coogee also has plenty of investment properties and short-term holiday lets. Landlords need working smoke alarms, safety switches and records to prove it, and we can check and upgrade all three in one visit.
Holiday lets and Airbnb properties take more wear than a typical home, with different guests every week using every appliance at once. A quick check between bookings, covering power points, lights, safety switches and smoke alarms, catches small problems before they become a guest's complaint.
