Beattie Electrical is a licensed electrical contractor (NSW Electrical Licence 230571C) servicing Sydney and selected regional NSW areas, and we take on planned electrical work in Gundagai and the surrounding district. That covers repairs, switchboard upgrades, lighting, power points, split system and heat pump connections, and commercial maintenance.
| Property Type | What We Commonly Find | What We Check First |
|---|---|---|
| Older town homes (weatherboard and brick, built across several decades) | Original wiring extended room by room, too few power points, switchboards with ceramic fuses or no safety switch | Condition of cables and fittings, the protection on each circuit, and whether the switchboard can carry modern loads |
| Low-lying and flood-affected properties | Moisture in power points, corroded switchboards, damaged cables near ground level | Whether equipment can be safely dried, tested and re-energised, or needs replacing |
| Rural properties and acreage | Sheds, pumps and workshops fed from a distant switchboard, extension leads doing the job of permanent wiring | Submain size, cable run length and voltage drop, weatherproof outlets, and correct protection at both ends |
| Highway motels, cafés, pubs and shops | Heavy lighting and appliance loads, ageing distribution boards, little downtime available for repairs | Load on each circuit, scheduled maintenance windows, and which faults can wait for a planned visit |
| Renovations and newer builds | New kitchens, split systems and hot water upgrades added to a switchboard that was never sized for them | Spare capacity, dedicated circuits and isolators for each new appliance |
| What Is Happening | What To Do |
|---|---|
| Smoke, fire, sparks, or someone has had an electric shock | Switch off at the main switch only if it is safe to do so |
| Power is out across your street or neighbourhood | Contact your network provider. It is a network fault, not a wiring fault |
| A power point or switch is hot, buzzing or has a burning smell | Stop using it, switch off the circuit at the switchboard and call us on 0468 189 988 |
| Safety switch keeps tripping | Do not keep resetting it. Book fault finding. Repeated tripping means something is wrong |
| Flickering lights, dead circuits, or dimming when appliances start | Book a fault finding and repair visit |
| Upgrades such as a switchboard, extra power points, fans, lighting or an air conditioner circuit | Request a free quote and we will schedule a planned visit |

A licensed electrician assesses the job and gives you fixed pricing.
Clean, code-compliant work by qualified tradespeople.
Every job is tested, certified and guaranteed before we leave.
We are based in Newington, Sydney, so Gundagai jobs are booked as scheduled visits rather than same-hour call-outs. For most electrical work that works in your favour. A planned trip means a proper inspection, a fixed quote you can read before we start, and the right materials on the van so the job is finished properly the first time.
If you have several small jobs, such as a ceiling fan, two extra power points, a smoke alarm check and a dodgy light switch, it makes sense to book them together so one trip covers the lot.
Gundagai has a long history with the Murrumbidgee, and low-lying properties can be affected when water rises. Do not turn the power back on to anything that has been wet. Switchboards, power points, appliances and cables that have been submerged or soaked must be inspected and tested by a licensed electrician before they are re-energised. Damage is not always visible, and wet wiring can create shock and fire risks days later. For immediate danger, call 000.
The further a shed is from the main switchboard, the more the cable size matters. A cable that is too small for the distance causes voltage drop, which means tools run hot and weak and motors strain. Underground runs, weatherproof outlets and correct protection at both ends keep the supply safe and reliable. All work is carried out to AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules).
If your switchboard has ceramic fuses, scorch marks, a loose cover or no safety switch, it is overdue for assessment. Safety switches (RCDs) cut power within a fraction of a second when they detect a fault current, which can be the difference between a scare and a tragedy.
Hot summers and cold winter mornings push household electrical systems hard. Air conditioners, heaters and hot water systems all add load. If your lights dim when the split system starts, your switchboard is telling you something.
