Planning your job on the North Shore
The North Shore ranges from Federation and interwar houses on large, leafy blocks in suburbs such as Lindfield, Killara, Pymble and Wahroonga to apartment buildings around Chatswood, St Leonards and North Sydney.
Older homes and outdoor power
In older houses, switchboard upgrades, safety switches and rewiring are common, and outdoor lighting and power to studios or pools need cable routes planned around established gardens.
Apartments and common property
In apartment buildings, work on the main switchboard, car park or other common property is arranged through the strata manager or owners corporation, so tell us how access works.
Access and arrangements
We check the existing installation and equipment, and plan related repairs, fittings and upgrades together. Let us know which rooms will be occupied, how tenants can provide access and any business hours to work around.

Your questions
Electrical questions on the North Shore
Do you work in North Shore apartment buildings?
Yes. Work inside your unit, such as lights, power points or finding a fault, can usually be booked directly. Changes to common property, such as the main switchboard, car park EV charging or common-area lighting, need the owners corporation's approval, so tell us who manages the building and its rules for contractors when you get in touch.
Our North Shore house is older. Is it worth upgrading the switchboard?
Often, yes. Many older North Shore houses still have ceramic fuses or only one or two safety switches. A switchboard upgrade replaces old fuses with circuit breakers, adds safety switches and leaves room for air conditioning, induction cooking or an EV charger. Our switchboard upgrade cost guide explains published market examples and their limits. We give you a free, written quote after looking at your board.
How is the price worked out?
The scope, fittings, condition of the existing wiring and access all affect the price. Our cost guides give Sydney market ranges to help you budget; they are not a quote for your property. Xcel Electrical provides a free written quote explaining the agreed work and price before it starts. If testing reveals further work, we explain the options before proceeding.
What access should I arrange for the visit?
Keep the work area and switchboard accessible, tell us about parking or locked gates, and arrange entry to any rooms involved. Mention restricted ceiling or underfloor access when enquiring; you do not need to enter these spaces yourself.
Will the power need to be turned off?
Many electrical jobs require the affected circuit to be isolated while work is carried out. A switchboard job may interrupt power to the whole property. We explain the expected interruption when planning the work. Tell us about medical equipment, refrigeration, business operations or anything else that needs an uninterrupted supply so suitable arrangements can be made.
