Forest Lodge homes
The Dictionary of Sydney describes Forest Lodge as an inner city residential suburb between Glebe and Camperdown, where the single and two-storeyed terraces built from the 1870s left an indelible mark on its character. In the 2021 Census about 62% of homes were flats or apartments and 35% were semi-detached, terrace or townhouses, and about 61% were rented.
If your Forest Lodge terrace still has its old fuse board, it's worth replacing before you add anything new. Older terraces can have too few power points and older wiring. If you need an electrician in Forest Lodge, Impulse Electrical Enterprise also handles rental repairs, smoke alarms and safety switch testing for landlords and agents, and common area work with the strata manager.
The Hereford and Forest Lodge heritage conservation area is listed under the City of Sydney's planning rules (Sydney LEP 2012), so changes to a home in it may need council approval. Before planning changes to the outside, start with the City of Sydney heritage information.
What we do
Fuse boards, strata work, rental repairs and EV chargers are the jobs we do for Forest Lodge homes and buildings.
As your Forest Lodge electrician, we start by checking older wiring in terraces, then replace old fuse boards and add safety switches and power points.
We work in apartments and in the common areas of strata buildings, with the strata manager's agreement for work on common property.
For landlords and agents with Forest Lodge rentals, we handle repairs, hardwired smoke alarms and safety switch testing.
We install home EV chargers on a dedicated circuit once we've confirmed the switchboard can take the load.

Check with the council before changing a heritage home. We'll tell you if a job is likely to change how the house looks.
