Renovations, Extensions & Rewiring
Property owners here don’t mess around when it comes to renovations. I’ve worked on some incredible electrical renovation projects where every detail matters.
Heritage Renovations: The trick with heritage homes is hiding all the new electrical work while giving you everything you need for modern living. I’ve rewired entire terraces where you can’t see a single new cable, but suddenly you’ve got power points everywhere and lighting that transforms the space.
Modern Extensions: When you’re adding to a home in this area, the electrical needs to be planned perfectly. Kitchen renovations, new bathrooms, home offices, wine cellars, I’ve done them all.
Lighting Upgrades & Design
LED lighting upgrades are one of my favourite jobs because the transformation is immediate. You’ll save 60-80% on lighting electricity costs, and everything looks so much better.
Inside Your Home
- Halogen to LED conversions – Swap out old fittings for modern efficiency
- Feature lighting for artwork – Showcase prized collections and statement pieces
- Under-cabinet kitchen lighting – Practical illumination for everyday use
- Bathroom lighting – Designs that balance practicality with flattering ambience
Outdoor Areas
- Garden lighting design – Highlight landscaped gardens and architectural features
- Entertaining area lighting – Create atmosphere for year-round outdoor living
- Harbour-view illumination – Lighting setups that enhance scenic views
- Weatherproof installations – Durable solutions suited to the harbour environment
Switchboard Upgrades & Electrical Safety
Most homes in this area need switchboard upgrades. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about having enough power for how you actually live today.
Safety First:
- Safety switch installation that protects your family
- Regular testing to make sure everything’s working
- Surge protection for all those expensive electronics
- Smoke alarm compliance that meets Australian standards
Your electrical system should support your lifestyle, not limit it.

Smart Homes & Automation
Local residents love their technology, and I enjoy making it all work together seamlessly. Home automation isn’t just about gadgets, it’s about making your home more comfortable and secure.
Smart Home Integration:
- Lighting control that adjusts throughout the day
- Automated blinds and window treatments
- Security system integration
- Entertainment system setup
- Electric vehicle charging stations
The goal is technology that makes life easier, not more complicated.

Understanding Double Bay Homes & Electrical Infrastructure Challenges
Double Bay sits between Rushcutters Bay and Rose Bay, and that harbour location creates some unique electrical challenges. The salt air affects outdoor electrical equipment, and many of the heritage buildings have shared electrical systems that need careful handling.
Heritage Building Reality: Those beautiful 1920s-1940s buildings look amazing, but the electrical systems often need serious attention. I work with strata committees regularly to plan upgrades that don’t break the budget but keep everyone safe.
Modern Property Demands: Today’s Double Bay homes have serious electrical requirements. Multiple luxury cars needing charging, wine cellars, home gyms, pool equipment, security systems, the list goes on. Your electrical system needs to handle it all reliably.
