Sutherland Housing and Electrical Needs
Sutherland is dominated by well-maintained single-storey brick homes from the 1950s-60s, typically featuring three bedrooms, single garages, and established gardens. The suburb retains a leafy, family-oriented character with wide streets and mature trees. Some original weatherboard cottages survive, while newer properties have been built where older homes were demolished.
Established homes frequently need switchboard upgrades from ceramic fuses to modern safety switches and circuit breakers. Popular improvements include outdoor entertaining area lighting, additional power points for home offices, and electrical work for kitchen and bathroom renovations. Many properties require increased capacity for ducted air conditioning and modern appliance loads.

Sutherland Electrician FAQ
Should I upgrade the switchboard in my 1960s Sutherland home?
Yes, if your home still has the original ceramic fuse switchboard, upgrading to a modern board with safety switches and circuit breakers is highly recommended. Current standards require safety switches on all power and lighting circuits.
How much does it cost to add power points in Sutherland homes?
Adding power points typically costs $150-300 per point depending on access and whether new circuits are needed. Many 1950s-60s homes have insufficient points for modern living, and we install additional outlets without major renovation work.
Can you install outdoor lighting for Sutherland properties?
Absolutely, we install garden lighting, path lights, entertaining area downlights, and feature lighting in weatherproof installations that enhance security and extend outdoor usability.
Do you provide electrical inspections for Sutherland home purchases?
Yes, we conduct pre-purchase inspections particularly important for 1950s-60s properties. Our detailed report identifies hazards, required upgrades, and estimated costs, helping you make informed buying decisions.
