Killara is one of the quieter parts of the Upper North Shore, known for grand heritage homes on large blocks and a conservation-area streetscape running back from the Pacific Highway. Many of the period houses around Springdale Rd and the streets near Killara station have been in the same family for years, and the leafy, low-density feel is a big part of why people stay. We work right across these streets, from the big Federation homes to the newer builds tucked behind them.
That housing mix generates a particular kind of electrical work. The grand older homes often still run original wiring and ceramic-fuse switchboards that need a full upgrade to modern RCBO boards and safety switches. Large blocks mean garden lighting, pool and outdoor circuits, and EV chargers that need cabling run a long way to detached garages, frequently with a three-phase upgrade. And because so many of these homes are being renovated rather than knocked down, we do a lot of careful rewiring, downlight and kitchen work that has to respect period detailing.
Killara is mostly grand heritage homes on large blocks, with a protected conservation-area streetscape of tree-lined roads back from the Pacific Highway and Killara station.

Yes. A lot of our Killara work is in the conservation streets off the Pacific Highway and around Springdale Rd. We rewire and upgrade older homes carefully, keeping cornices, picture rails and period fittings intact wherever we can.
Yes. Most of the grand older homes here still run rewireable ceramic fuses with no safety switches. We replace these with a modern RCBO board so every circuit has overload and earth-leakage protection.
Yes. We install 7kW and 22kW chargers and run the cabling across big blocks to detached garages or carports. On the larger homes we often upgrade to three-phase and add load management so the charger does not trip the mains.
Yes. We cover full renovation electrical: new circuits, downlights, kitchen and bathroom power, data and full rewires. We work in with builders and keep the wiring tidy through old wall and ceiling cavities.
Yes. We install garden lighting, pool and pump circuits, weatherproof outdoor power and tennis-court lighting, all on RCD-protected circuits suited to the deep blocks common around Killara.
Yes. We are a Level 2 ASP, so we handle the full scope including service mains, the point of attachment and metering, and we coordinate the supply upgrade with Ausgrid.
We are based in Brookvale, around 24 minutes from Killara via Mona Vale Rd, and we run a 24/7 emergency line for power outages, burning smells and switchboard faults.
Yes. We fit interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms and add safety switches to bring older Killara homes up to current NSW requirements, which matters most in the larger heritage houses.
