How long does a typical residential electrical job take?

Smaller jobs like adding a power point, swapping a fan or installing downlights are usually finished in a few hours. Larger work such as switchboard upgrades or partial rewires generally takes a full day, while bigger renovations are scheduled across multiple visits.

How often should home wiring and safety switches be checked?

Safety switches (RCDs) should be tested using the test button every three months. A licensed electrician should inspect the wiring and switchboard at least every 10 years, or sooner for older homes with ageing cabling or ceramic fuses.

Residential Electrical Work Done Properly

At CBD Power Services, our licensed residential electrician looks after the day-to-day electrical needs of Hills District homes, from replacing a single power point to rewiring an entire house. We work across older brick-and-tile homes, newer estate builds and live renovations, so we're comfortable navigating different wiring vintages, switchboard layouts and council requirements. Every job is booked at a time that suits you, quoted up-front, completed to AS/NZS 3000 standards and finished with a tidy site and a clear handover.

If your home doubles as a workspace or you run a small business from the property, our commercial electrical services can wire in dedicated circuits and upgrade your lighting. Older properties with ceramic fuses or limited RCD protection are often best paired with a switchboard upgrade to bring the whole home up to current safety standards.

Licensed & Insured

Our electrician holds full electrical licences, public liability cover and a workmanship warranty across every Hills District job.

Clean, On-Time Workmanship

Floor coverings go down first, we tidy as the job progresses and bookings land at times you can plan around.

Up-Front Quoting

Each job kicks off with a clear scope and fixed quote, so the price you agree to is the price you pay.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Under NSW law, all fixed electrical work, including adding a power point or replacing a hardwired light fitting, must be carried out by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work can void home insurance and creates a serious safety risk.

New Home Wiring

We rough in and fit off new home wiring across the Hills District, working from your builder's plans or our own circuit design. Wiring follows AS/NZS 3000, with RCDs on every circuit, dedicated runs for kitchens and laundries and capacity for solar or an EV charger. Every project finishes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work.

Electrical renovation work on a Hills District home

Renovations

Renovations usually mean moving walls, adding rooms and rerouting circuits. We work alongside your builder to relocate power points, plan new lighting and bring older wiring up to current standards. We handle staged rough-ins, fit-offs and final testing so the electrical side stays on schedule and your finished spaces are safe and properly documented.

Lighting Installs

From a single pendant to a full LED downlight layout, we plan and install lighting that suits how you actually use each room. We cover dimmers, two-way switching, outdoor lighting and sensor lights for entries and driveways. Older halogen fittings can be swapped for efficient LEDs without changing the look of the room.

New power point installation by a Hills District electrician

Power Points

We add power points where you need them, including USB outlets, weatherproof outdoor sockets and dedicated circuits for ovens, air conditioners and home offices. Existing outlets that buzz, scorch or feel loose are replaced rather than patched, and every new point is tested before we leave the site.

Ceiling fan installation in a Hills District home

Ceiling Fans

We install and replace ceiling fans across bedrooms, living areas and outdoor patios, including models with lights, remote controls and wall switches. Where there's no existing fan point, we run a new circuit and fit a properly rated mounting bracket. Older fans that wobble or hum are checked for safe replacement rather than reused.

Hardwired interconnected smoke alarm installation

Smoke Alarms

NSW homes need working smoke alarms on every storey, and we install hardwired interconnected units with battery backup. Ageing alarms past their ten-year life are replaced. Placement is checked against current standards and documented for landlords and sales agents, and holiday rentals or shared homes can be checked on a regular cycle.

Fault Finding

When a circuit keeps tripping or part of the house has lost power, we trace the fault back to its source rather than guessing. We test wiring, appliances and the switchboard in sequence, then explain what we've found and what needs replacing. Persistent RCD trips often point to ageing cabling or a failing appliance.

EV charger installation on a Hills District home

EV Charger Prep

Adding an EV charger is more than fitting a wall unit. We check switchboard capacity, run a dedicated circuit and install a load-managed outlet sized for your vehicle and supply. Where the existing board can't handle the extra demand, we flag it early and pair the work with a switchboard upgrade so the charger can be installed safely.
