Five Dock homes
The Dictionary of Sydney describes Five Dock, in the City of Canada Bay, as a residential suburb named after five rocky inlets on the peninsula. In the 2021 Census about 45% of homes were separate houses, 37% were flats or apartments and 15% were semi-detached, terrace or townhouses, and about 37% were rented.
If your Five Dock home has circuit breakers but no safety switch, adding one is a worthwhile upgrade. In one recent Five Dock job, we installed a ceiling fan and a quad power point and upgraded a circuit breaker to a safety switch. If you need an electrician in Five Dock, Impulse Electrical Enterprise also adds extra power points, works with the strata manager in apartment buildings and installs EV chargers.
Heritage items and homes in heritage conservation areas may need council approval before changes are made. For minor works, the City of Canada Bay heritage minor works page is the place to check.
What we do
For Five Dock houses and units, these are the jobs we do, starting with safety switches for older homes.
As your Five Dock electrician, we upgrade circuit breakers to safety switches and test them.
We fit ceiling fans with lights, along with LED downlights and outdoor lights.
Extra power points and new circuits for kitchens and appliances during renovations, after checking the switchboard can take the load.
We install home EV chargers on single or three phase power once the switchboard has been checked.
