Apartments, offices and shops around the Junction
Bondi Junction is the Eastern Suburbs' main shopping and transport hub, with the Oxford Street Mall, office buildings and apartment towers around the station. About two in three of its homes are flats, and more than half are rented.
- Apartment towers and older blocks, where common-property work is arranged through the strata manager and carried out by strata electrical services that follow the building's access rules
- Offices and shops around the Oxford Street Mall that need a commercial electrician for repairs, fit-outs and exit and emergency lighting
- Semis and terraces, about a quarter of the suburb's homes, in the streets around the centre
Electrical repairs in Bondi Junction
Most repair calls in Bondi Junction start with a symptom: a safety switch that keeps tripping, a power point or light that has stopped working, lights that flicker, or a burning smell. Electrical repairs start with finding the cause, so the same fault does not come back a week later.
In an apartment, the first question is whose fault it is to fix: inside your own unit it is yours or your landlord's, while shared areas belong to the owners corporation. In a shop or office, repairs are usually planned around trading hours. Either way, in NSW a repair that installs, repairs or alters electrical equipment needs a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW), which the licensed electrician lodges.
For an emergency electrician in Bondi Junction, call Peter on 0415 684 120. Ambient Electrical is a 24 hour electrician and takes calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Bondi Junction is about 2 km from Bronte, where Peter is based. Response is often within the hour.

Electrician Bondi Junction: common questions
How do I tell a Bondi Junction power outage from a fault in my own building?
Check Ausgrid's live outage map first: if it shows an outage in Bondi Junction, the problem is on the network, and Ausgrid takes fault reports on 13 13 88, 24 hours a day. If the streetlights and the shops around you have power but your apartment or office does not, the fault is most likely inside the building: look at your own switchboard for a tripped safety switch or circuit breaker, and if the whole tower or its hallways are dark, tell the building or strata manager. If your own board will not reset, Peter is about 2 km away in Bronte, on 0415 684 120, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Is it safe to reset a tripped safety switch in my Bondi Junction unit?
Resetting a tripped safety switch once is safe: push it back up to on at your unit's switchboard. If it trips again straight away, something on that circuit is leaking current, so leave it off, unplug the appliances on that circuit and try again one appliance at a time. If it still trips with nothing plugged in, the fault is in the fixed wiring and needs a licensed electrician.
