Residential Electrical Services in Matraville
Matraville’s got such a unique character, I love working here. You’ve got this fascinating mix of original housing commission properties from the 1920s soldiers’ settlement, classic family homes from the mid-century boom, and newer developments that are popping up as the area continues to grow. Each property type brings its electrical challenges, and that’s where my local knowledge pays off.
Matraville homes built before 1990 typically require switchboard upgrades to meet current Australian safety standards. I see this all the time, especially in the older Housing Commission flats and the original settlement homes, where electrical systems haven’t kept pace with modern family needs. Those old electrical systems from decades past? They’re often running way beyond their safe capacity.
Here’s what I can help you with:

Renovating in Matraville? Great choice, this suburb’s hitting its stride. I work on renovation projects constantly here, from small bathroom updates in Housing Commission properties to major home extensions on the larger family blocks. The key is planning your electrical work properly from day one.
How do I know if my Matraville home needs rewiring? Warning signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells around electrical outlets, discoloured switch plates, or if your home was built before 1980. Many of the original Matraville properties need an electrical assessment to identify safety hazards.
Extension Electrical Work
Adding to your Matraville home? The electrical work needs careful planning to integrate properly with your existing system. I'll assess your current electrical capacity and design new circuits that won't overload your switchboard.
Kitchen Renovations

Switchboard Upgrades & Electrical Safety for Matraville Properties
This is where I get serious about safety. Old switchboards with ceramic fuses or basic circuit breakers simply don’t provide adequate protection for modern families. Modern switchboards with safety switches (RCDs) save lives; it’s that simple.
Matraville properties built before 2000 often desperately need switchboard upgrades to meet current safety standards. I see too many homes still running on electrical systems designed for a different era, when families used a fraction of the electricity we use today.
Why upgrade your switchboard?
- Safety switches that can prevent electrocution and electrical fires
- Better circuit protection for modern electrical loads
- Compliance with current Australian electrical standards
- Improved electrical capacity for today’s electrical demands
Safety Switch Installation: Every circuit in your Matraville home should have safety switch protection. I install safety switches that monitor electrical flow and cut power instantly if they detect any electrical fault. These devices genuinely save lives.
Switchboard Modernisation: Modern switchboards are safer, more reliable, and provide much better protection for your electrical equipment and your family. I can replace old fuse boxes with modern consumer units that give you proper circuit control and safety.
Electrical Compliance Certificates: After any electrical work, I provide proper certification showing the work meets current Australian standards. This documentation is important for insurance claims and when selling your property.
Our switchboard upgrades service includes comprehensive safety assessments and detailed recommendations.
Specialised Electrical Services in Matraville, Smart Homes & Automation
Technology is revolutionising how families live, and I love helping Matraville residents embrace smart home automation. From simple programmable switches to whole-house automation systems, the possibilities are genuinely exciting.

- Smart Security Integration: Connect your security systems Matraville properties need to your electrical setup for enhanced protection. Smart cameras, automated security lighting, and integrated alarm systems all require proper electrical installation. As part of my security systems Matraville service, I ensure all electrical connections are professionally installed and comply with local requirements.
- Energy Management Systems: Monitor and control your electricity usage with smart meters and energy management systems. Perfect for environmentally conscious Matraville families who want to minimise their carbon footprint and reduce energy costs.

Understanding Matraville Homes & Electrical Infrastructure Challenges
Soldiers' Settlement Properties
The original soldiers' settlement homes from the 1918-1921 period often feature very basic electrical systems that were cutting-edge for their time but are now seriously outdated. These properties typically have:
- Original electrical installations from the early 20th century
- Insufficient power points for modern family living
- Outdated switchboards requiring complete replacement
- Wiring that may not be properly earthed
- Electrical systems designed for minimal electrical loads
Housing Commission Properties
The Housing Commission flats built in the 1970s to replace the original settlement have their electrical characteristics:
- Basic electrical installations are designed for economy rather than convenience
- Limited PowerPoint availability
- Shared electrical infrastructure in multi-unit developments
- Maintenance challenges due to shared ownership structures
- Need for strata electrical compliance
Modern Developments
The newer homes and units being built throughout Matraville generally feature modern electrical systems, but they're not without challenges:
- High-density living creates increased electrical demand
- Integration challenges for smart home technology
- Energy efficiency requirements for new construction
- EV charging preparation for future transportation needs
Mixed Housing Styles
Matraville's diverse housing mix creates unique electrical service requirements:
- Original weatherboard and fibro homes requiring heritage-sensitive upgrades
- Brick veneer homes from the post-war period need modernisation
- Contemporary homes with advanced electrical systems
Understanding these local factors helps me provide much better electrical solutions tailored specifically to Matraville properties.
