Residential Electrical.

Sydney's Trusted Home Electricians

Your home's electrical system is the backbone of everyday comfort and safety. At Bayside Electrical Group, we provide comprehensive residential electrical services to homeowners across the Sydney metropolitan area — from heritage terraces in the Inner West to modern builds on the Northern Beaches. Every job is carried out by licensed electricians who hold current NSW qualifications and follow the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules to the letter.

Whether you need a single power point added, a full home rewire, or a complete lighting design for a renovation, we deliver quality workmanship with transparent pricing. No call-out surprises, no hidden fees — just honest electrical work done right the first time.

Home Wiring and Rewiring

Older Sydney homes — particularly those built before the 1980s — often have outdated wiring that no longer meets current Australian Standards. Degraded insulation, aluminium wiring, and undersized circuits are common issues we encounter during inspections. Left unaddressed, these faults increase the risk of electrical fires and appliance damage.

Our rewiring service brings your property up to current compliance. We carefully plan cable routes to minimise disruption, use quality TPS cabling rated to AS/NZS 3000, and ensure every circuit is correctly protected at the switchboard. For new builds and extensions, we work closely with builders and architects to install wiring that meets both the electrical plan and council requirements.

Switchboard Upgrades

If your home still runs on ceramic fuses or a dated switchboard with no safety switches, it's time for an upgrade. Modern switchboards with circuit breakers and residual current devices (RCDs) provide reliable overload protection and reduce electrocution risk. They're also essential if you're installing air conditioning, EV chargers, solar panels, or any high-draw appliance.

We supply and install Australian-certified switchboards from brands like Clipsal, Hager, and NHP. Every upgrade includes a full inspection of existing circuits, labelling of all breakers, and a Certificate of Compliance (CCEW) issued on completion.

Lighting Design and Installation

Good lighting transforms how a home looks and functions. We design and install lighting schemes tailored to each room — from recessed LED downlights in kitchens and bathrooms to feature pendants in living areas and energy-efficient outdoor security lighting. Our team handles everything from initial layout planning through to final commissioning.

We also retrofit older halogen downlight systems to LED, reducing your energy consumption by up to 80% while improving light quality. All fittings are IC-rated for insulated ceilings where required, and we ensure adequate clearance from building materials as specified in AS/NZS 3000.

Safety Switches and Smoke Alarms

Safety switches (RCDs) are your first line of defence against electric shock. NSW legislation requires RCDs on power and lighting circuits in all new installations, and we strongly recommend retrofitting them in older homes. Our electricians install and test safety switches to ensure they trip within the required 30 milliseconds.

For smoke alarms, NSW regulations require interconnected photoelectric alarms in homes sold or rented from 2025. We install hardwired, interconnected alarm systems that comply with AS 3786 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021. Every alarm is tested and a compliance certificate is provided.

Smart Home Electrical

From Z-Wave and Zigbee smart dimmers to Matter-compatible switches and voice-activated scenes, we integrate smart home technology into your electrical system. We handle the wiring backbone — dedicated circuits, neutral wire connections, smart switch replacements, hub power supplies, and structured data cabling — so your smart devices work reliably without overloading your network or switchboard.
