Electrician in Allambie Heights

DM Electrical is based just down the hill at 230 Harbord Road, Brookvale, so Allambie Heights is effectively our home patch. We work across the suburb daily, from the older streets around Allambie Road through to the retirement villages and the family homes backing onto Manly Dam bushland.

Drive time from Brookvale HQ: ~5-8 min. Allambie Heights sits on the ridge directly above Brookvale.

The dominant 1950s-60s housing stock in Allambie Heights drives most of what we do here. Residential rewires, full switchboard upgrades and safety switch installs to bring homes onto current AS/NZS 3000 standards. Many of these jobs need a Level 2 ASP for the consumer-mains and metering side, which we handle in-house without subcontracting. For the local retirement villages, care facilities and small business tenancies around Kentwell Road and the village shops, we provide commercial electrical work and 24/7 emergency response, plus EV charger installations for the increasing number of residents going electric on their next car.

Local context

Predominantly 1950s-60s full brick family homes on elevated blocks, with a strong presence of retirement villages and care facilities and a growing number of renovated and second-storey-added homes through the higher ridge streets.

Local FAQs

How fast can you get to Allambie Heights from Brookvale?

Usually within 10 minutes. Our workshop is at the bottom of the hill on Harbord Road, so we can often be on-site faster than electricians coming from anywhere else on the beaches.

My 1960s brick home has no safety switches. Is that urgent?

Yes. Any home without RCD protection on power and lighting circuits is non-compliant and a genuine safety risk. We can usually install a new switchboard with full RCBO protection in a day.

Do you do Level 2 mains upgrades for second-storey additions?

Yes. Second-storey additions almost always need a mains and switchboard upgrade, and we handle both the Level 2 ASP service work and the internal electrical as one coordinated job.

Can you replace old ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers?

Yes. Ceramic fuse boards are common in Allambie Heights and we upgrade them to a modern enclosure with breakers and RCDs, typically in one day with Ausgrid coordination if needed.

Do you install EV chargers in retirement village garages?

Yes. We work with strata and village management to install metered EV chargers that bill to the resident's own supply where possible.

Can you find hidden wiring faults without ripping the walls open?

In most cases yes. We use insulation resistance testing, thermal imaging and circuit tracing to isolate faults before any wall opening, which saves a lot on patching.

Do you provide certificates of compliance after the work?

Every job comes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) as required by NSW law, plus a Notice of Service Work where Level 2 work is involved.

Can you handle a full rewire while we stay in the house?

Yes. We stage rewires room-by-room so most clients only lose power to one area at a time, and we always have power back on for fridges and lights at the end of each day.

    We had a power outage across half our office and couldn't find the issue. DM sent an experienced electrician who solved it within 20 minutes. Extremely professional, clean and efficient. We can't recommend Dan and the team highly enough.
