Bondi electrician: apartment blocks a few streets from the sand
Bondi runs from Bondi Road down to the streets behind the beach. Four in five of its homes are flats or apartments, and more than half are rented, so most electrical work here happens inside strata buildings or rentals.
- Four in five Bondi homes are flats, so much of the work is for a strata electrician dealing with the owners corporation or strata manager as well as the owner
- Older blocks can still have rewireable fuses in a unit's switchboard; an old switchboard replacement adds the safety switches that fuses cannot provide
- More than half the homes are rented, and NSW landlords must check smoke alarms every year and use a licensed electrician for hard-wired ones
Electrical services in Bondi flats and rentals
Common electrical jobs inside a Bondi flat are LED downlights in place of old halogens, new light switches, an extra power point, or tracing a fault that has taken out a circuit. Daniel, in the review below, had Peter replace his downlights and a few switches.
NSW strata rules treat changing recessed light fittings or wiring as a minor renovation, which needs the owners corporation's approval before the work starts, so check with your strata manager before booking.
What Bondi customers say
Peter did a great job replacing my down lights and a few switches. He was punctual, friendly and professional. Plus he did the work for a fair price. I would recommend him to anyone in the Bondi area. Daniel
Dean, a customer in Bondi, recorded a video testimonial about Peter's work, uploaded to YouTube in March 2016: watch the customer videos.
“Peter from Ambient Electrical was very professional, he came around to do the quotation straight away. We have had a guy in the past mess around with our electrics which had put us at risk, lucky for us Peter corrected these faults at no extra cost. He's an honest guy and we are going to use him again.”

Electrician Bondi: common questions
Is there a power outage in Bondi, or is it just my unit?
Ausgrid's live outage map shows any current outage in Bondi, and Ausgrid takes reports on 13 13 88, 24 hours a day. If the street has power and your unit does not, the fault is inside the building: check your unit's switchboard, which in older blocks can sit in a shared hallway or meter room, for a tripped safety switch or circuit breaker. If it will not reset or keeps tripping, call a licensed electrician; Peter is about a kilometre away in Bronte, on 0415 684 120, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If the whole building is dark while the street has power, tell the strata or building manager as well.

Who pays for electrical repairs in a Bondi apartment block?
In a NSW strata building the owners corporation looks after common property, the shared parts of the building, and each owner looks after anything inside their own lot; the strata plan and by-laws show where the line sits in a particular building. The NSW Government's own example is a hallway light that stops working: a strata committee member calls an electrician, and the repair is paid from the administrative fund. Tenants report any fault to their landlord or agent, not the strata manager.
My Bondi flat still has old ceramic fuses. Is that safe?
Old rewireable ceramic fuses protect the wiring from overload, but they do nothing to protect a person from an electric shock. The NSW Government puts it simply: a safety switch is designed to protect people from severe electric shocks, and a circuit breaker is designed to protect the wiring. A fuse board with no safety switches is worth replacing with a modern switchboard that has both.
