Inner West Electricians Who Know Older Homes

We’re open 24/7, our call-out fee is $0, and every job comes with fixed rate pricing and a lifetime labour warranty, backed by 20+ years of experience.
The Inner West has some of Sydney’s oldest housing. Victorian terraces, Federation cottages and interwar semis line the streets of Newtown, Annandale, Petersham, Haberfield and Summer Hill, and much of the area sits inside heritage conservation areas. These homes are full of character, but many still have wiring and switchboards that were installed long before air conditioners, induction cooktops and electric vehicles.
Here is what we find most often in Inner West homes, and how we deal with it:
- Old wiring: rubber or cloth-insulated cable that has gone brittle with age. We test it, tell you honestly how much needs replacing, and rewire room by room if you’d rather not do the whole house at once.
- Ceramic fuse switchboards: rewireable fuses offer little protection. We replace them with circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs) on every circuit.
- Asbestos switchboard panels: common in homes built before 1990. We identify them and replace the board safely.
- Tight access: narrow terraces, shared walls, low ceiling spaces and timber floors mean careful cable routing. We fish cables through existing cavities to limit patching.
- Heritage rules: in conservation areas, we keep external conduit, meter box work and lighting discreet so the street-facing look of your home doesn’t change.

EV Charger Installation in the Inner West
Electric vehicles are popular in the Inner West, but terraces without off-street parking make home charging harder than in the suburbs. Running a lead across the footpath isn’t a safe or approved option. Here’s what works:
- Rear-lane garages and carports: we install a 7 kW wall charger in the garage or on a carport post, with the cable run from your switchboard at the front of the house through the roof space or under the floor.
- Apartments and strata: we prepare the technical detail your owners corporation needs, then install a charger in the car park metered to your lot, with load management so other residents can add chargers later.
- Heritage homes: we mount the charger inside the garage or out of view from the street.
- Older switchboards: many Inner West homes need a switchboard upgrade before a charger can go in. We quote both together, in one fixed price.
We install most charger brands and give you a fixed price after a site check. Learn more about our EV charger installation in Sydney, including costs and the charger types we install.
