Townhouses, apartments and strata buildings

Electrical work in these properties has an extra layer. Before we touch anything, it helps to know whether the circuit or fitting is part of your lot or part of the common property, because that decides who authorises and who pays.

For owners corporations and strata managers, we cover commercial and emergency/exit lighting, preventative and scheduled maintenance, test and tag and electrical support for businesses and property managers. Individual owners can book repairs and upgrades for their own lot without involving the committee, provided the work does not affect common property. If you are unsure, your by-laws and strata manager are the first stop, and we are happy to describe the work in writing for them.

Business premises near Newington

Newington sits beside Sydney Olympic Park and a short drive from the working premises of Silverwater and Lidcombe.

For offices, workshops and shopfronts in the area we provide commercial electrical servicing and repairs, office and retail fit-out electrical work, ongoing commercial maintenance and commercial switchboard upgrades. Scheduled maintenance is usually cheaper than an unplanned shutdown, and it keeps your testing and records in order.

Licensed, insured and local

Beattie Electrical holds NSW Electrical Licence 230571C (ABN 27 673 188 559). For air conditioning and heat pump work we hold Restricted Refrigerant Handling Licence L145657, and our TITAB Open Cabling Registration is T60976. Electrical work in NSW must be done by a licensed electrician, and you should always be able to ask to see the licence number of the person working in your home.

A licensed electrician looks at the job in person and gives you fixed pricing.

Clean, code-compliant installation by qualified tradespeople.

Every job is tested and certified before we leave, and we explain what we did.

The price depends on factors we can only see on site: access, the age and condition of existing wiring, switchboard capacity, the number of circuits or fittings involved, and the equipment you choose. That is why we inspect first and quote second.

We work throughout Newington and into the neighbouring suburbs of Silverwater, Sydney Olympic Park, Homebush, Lidcombe, Wentworth Point and Rydalmere. If your property is a little further out, ask us. We service Greater Sydney and selected regional NSW areas.

Tips

Frequently Asked Questions

My home is about 25 years old. Does the wiring need replacing?

Not necessarily. Wiring from around 2000 is often in sound condition, but components such as smoke alarms, early safety switches, switchboards and hot water systems are reaching the end of their expected lives. An electrical safety inspection tells you what is fine, what to watch and what to fix, so you are not guessing.

How do I know when my smoke alarms need replacing?

Pull one off its base and look at the date on the back. Most manufacturers recommend replacing alarms after about ten years. Smoke alarms are required in NSW homes, and in rentals the landlord is responsible for keeping them working. If your alarms predate the late 2010s, it is worth checking.

I own an apartment. Do I need strata approval for electrical work?

It depends on what the work touches. Work inside your own lot, such as replacing a power point or adding a light, normally does not. Anything that involves common property, shared supply or the building’s exterior usually does. Check your by-laws, speak to your strata manager, and we can supply a written description of the job to include.

Can you install an air conditioner or heat pump?

We handle the electrical installation for eligible split systems and heat pump hot water systems, including dedicated circuits, isolators and electrical protection, and we hold a Restricted Refrigerant Handling Licence. Tell us the make and model when you enquire and we will confirm what is involved.

How much does an electrician cost in Newington?

It depends on the job, and we do not guess over the phone. Access, existing wiring condition, switchboard capacity, the number of points or circuits, and the products you choose all change the price. We inspect first, then give you a fixed price in writing.

Do you do emergency electrical repairs in Newington?

Emergency electrical repairs are one of our listed services. If you smell burning, see scorching or sparks, or have water near electrical equipment, turn off power at the main switch if it is safe to do so and call 0468 189 988.
