Elizabeth Bay is a tightly packed pocket of harbourside Art Deco apartment blocks just east of Kings Cross, with streets like Elizabeth Bay Rd, Onslow Ave, Greenknowe Ave and Billyard Ave winding down toward Beare Park and the marina. Many of the buildings date from the 1930s, so behind the period facades there is older wiring, shared switchrooms and metering that needs a careful hand. Parking is tight and access is often through strata, so most jobs here take planning before the van even arrives. It is a true apartment suburb, not detached homes.
Open a meter cupboard in one of the 1930s blocks off Onslow Ave and you will often find a ceramic-fuse board feeding the whole flat, with sub-mains run before RCDs were ever fitted, which is where a lot of our Elizabeth Bay work starts. For the owners' corporations we look after stair and corridor lighting, exit and emergency fittings, carpark sub-circuits and tired switchrooms, while individual owners call us in to rewire kitchens and bathrooms during apartment renovations. Basement EV charger requests have picked up, and because the existing supply to these waterfront buildings is often near capacity we check the main board and metering before quoting a charger. When a whole block needs its service mains, point of attachment or metering brought up to standard, that falls under our Level 2 ASP licence.
