Welcome
Licensed, Local and Trusted in Tempe
Plenty of electricians work Tempe. The rare find is the one who shows on the agreed day and is still answering for the job years on.
This is a riverside inner-west pocket on the Cooks River, once a byword for the Tempe Tip and today for the enormous IKEA beside the highway. We are through here week in, week out.
Everything is carried out under NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, and we are Master Electricians Australia members. The written price gets agreed before any tool is unpacked.

What we do
Electrical Services, From Power Points to Full Rewires
A single licensed team takes on the lot, from fitting one power point through to rewiring an entire house, each backed by a fixed written quote in advance. This is what we cover.
Switchboard Upgrades
Cottages around Gannon Street were wired for a modest early load, so their boards run out of room long before a modern kitchen does. A switchboard upgrade swaps that box for a clearly labelled board, one safety switch per circuit.

Light Installation
Ceiling downlights, bench-top pendants, dimmer switches and floodlighting out the back, each hung square and finished cleanly. Book light installation for a lone fixture or a house full of them.
Learn more
EV Charger Installation
A home charger paired to your model and wired to a circuit set aside for it, after we confirm the board can handle it. Take EV charger installation instead of trailing a lead out the door.

Emergency Electrician
Burnt smells, arcing and power dropping without warning are dealt with at any time of day. Get an emergency electrician out whenever a problem looks or smells serious.

Level 2 Electrician
The consumer mains, meter and point of attachment fall beyond an ordinary licence and require Level 2 accreditation. Pick Level 2 work for the stretch from the pole to your supply point.

Residential Electrician
The full domestic trade: tracing faults, running new circuits, wiring renovations and pulling tired homes up to scratch. A residential electrician takes on whatever lives behind the plaster.

Emergency Electrical Help Across Tempe
Some faults will not hold off until a weekday, and burning plastic is the warning that should never wait. Ring straight away if you come across:
- A biting chemical odour off a wall socket or the meter box
- A fitting, switch or outlet that feels hot or looks browned
- A safety switch that drops out again on every reset
- Visible sparking, plus crackle or buzz at a fitting
- One part of the home dead while everywhere else stays lit
- Any cabling that appears charred, bare or heat-damaged
Should the whole street lose light, the fault usually lies with the Ausgrid network, not your home. Everything past the switchboard, however, falls to us.
Winter tests the wiring most around here. With no ducting in the solid-brick period stock, reverse-cycle splits carry the heating, and an old board struggling against that mid-year draw is something we get out to often.
Shut that circuit off at the switchboard if you can safely get to it, then ring us. We move fast, often same or next day, and quicker again on anything truly urgent.
Local knowledge
What Tempe Homes Need from Their Local Electrician
Federation cottages, Victorian terraces and Californian bungalows crowd the older streets, with heritage villas by Cooks River and recent apartment blocks nudging toward the Sydenham fringe. Scarcely two share the same wiring.
Many of these pre-war cottages still depend on their original ceramic-fuse boards. Kit like that suited a much lighter era, and it deserves updating before a renovation stacks demand onto it.
You spot it as a board that trips when the load climbs, or one sitting warm with no space left for another circuit. The fix is generally a switchboard upgrade, occasionally with a heavier supply behind it.
Renovation drives a steady stream of work as well. Peel back a cottage on Unwins Bridge Road or Union Street and the ageing cabling buried in the walls usually turns up, frequently needing a whole-house rewire.
The low riverside ground counts too. Homes fronting the Tempe Recreation Reserve stand only metres over the tidal Cooks River, so we meet damp and humidity every time a board is opened.
Why Locals Choose a Local Tempe Team
Tempe reads young and professional, houses and units sitting fairly even, owners and renters split about the same. The people who ring are pressed for time and want it done right once over.
These are the reasons they stay.
Standards in Plain Words
We explain the standards in plain English right there, so what a safety switch (RCD) does, and why every circuit needs one, is clear without the code-speak.
One Written Price, No Drift
Your quote is settled on paper up front, and that is the price you pay. The clock never runs, and the final invoice reads exactly as the quote did.
Guaranteed for the Life of the Home
Beneath each completed job runs a lifetime workmanship guarantee. If our workmanship is later the cause, we come back and set it right for nothing.
Proof You Can Look Up
Every one of the 600+ five-star reviews is out there to read. Michael, via Google, wrote of a prompt, courteous electrician who plainly knew the work inside out.

How we work
How We Work on Every Job
The job moves through four plain stages, your first call at one end and a signed compliance certificate at the other. Every stage is visible to you.
- 01
Tell Us What Is Wrong
Give a local the rundown on the fault, or on what you want fitted, and they will book your visit. A reminder text follows the day before.
- 02
Quoted On Site
An electrician comes out, sizes the job up in front of you, and hands back a fixed written quote. Nothing begins until you say yes.
- 03
Fitted and Tidied
Quality fittings go in, dust sheets protect the floor, and labels go on the circuits as the wiring goes in. You get the room back untouched.
- 04
Tested and Closed Out
We run the testing, produce whatever certificate the work is notifiable for, and email you the after shots.
Licensed, insured & guaranteed
The Standards Behind Our Work
Each line here stands up to scrutiny before we ever arrive. Here is the foundation under the work.
Compliant Work That Keeps Your Home Safe
Every job meets the safety standard your home is measured against, and the paperwork proving it goes to you. Four points never shift, whatever the call was for.
Wired to AS/NZS 3000
Every job is bound by the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules from beginning to end. New RCD safety switches and clean per-circuit labelling come as standard, never an upsell.
Certificate of Compliance
Notifiable work wraps up with the compliance certificate lodged at NSW Fair Trading. What it costs was folded into the agreed price and never shows up later.
Accreditation You Can Verify
Master Electricians Australia membership is the sort of accreditation you can confirm for yourself rather than take on trust.
Licensed and Fully Insured
Whoever works up in your ceiling carries a NSW contractor licence open to inspection, plus full cover, not a doorstep promise.

Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A few questions Tempe homeowners like answered ahead of a booking. Should yours be missing, raise it on the call.
How does your pricing work?
You get a fixed written quote, sign it off, and pay exactly that. Hourly billing is not how we work, and your first Tempe booking knocks $50 off.
Can you install an EV charger at home?
Yes, run off its own circuit and matched to your car. For the older cottages on the river flats, we check the switchboard has spare capacity before booking.
Is my old switchboard dangerous?
A ceramic-fuse board without a safety switch will not isolate power quickly enough during a fault. A fair few pre-war homes locally still rely on one, and we will assess yours honestly.
Is there an electrician near Tempe open on weekends?
Weekend appointments open up when weekdays are booked solid. The overnight line covers anything that cannot hold, like visible sparking or a switchboard gone dead.
Do you offer emergency electrical work?
Genuine emergencies get answered at any hour of the night. A scorched smell, arcing or a total blackout jumps the queue, and you get safety advice to follow until we reach you.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
All our work runs under NSW Electrical Contractor Licence #452529C, and we are fully insured. The licence sits on the public register, so check it before we start if you wish.
