Licensed electricians for Illawong's riverside and family homes.
Illawong sits on the Georges River across from Lugarno and Picnic Point, with family homes, bushland and waterfront properties. We're about 20 minutes away over the Alfords Point Bridge.
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).
Most Illawong homes were built from the 1970s to the 1990s, many of them large family homes on sloping blocks. Switchboards from that era often have safety switches on only some circuits and no room left for new ones. When owners add an EV charger, solar, a battery or a renovated kitchen, an upgraded switchboard is usually needed.
Waterfront homes along the river often have pools, boatsheds and jetties that need weatherproof outlets, lighting and properly protected circuits. Moisture from the river and the bush is hard on outdoor fittings, so we use sealed, weatherproof products.
With so much bushland around, storms regularly bring branches down onto service lines and damage outdoor equipment.
As these homes reach thirty or forty years old, original fittings start to fail: light switches crack, power points wear out and outdoor lights corrode. Replacing them in one visit is quicker and cheaper than calling someone out every time one stops working.
Illawong is usually around 20 minutes from our Penshurst base via the Alfords Point Bridge, outside peak hour.
