Houses, student rentals and the light rail on Anzac Parade

Kingsford sits on Anzac Parade beside the UNSW campus, at the end of the light rail line from the city. About half of its homes are flats, more than a third are separate houses, and half are rented.

• Share houses and student rentals near UNSW, where safety switches and extra power points matter in homes running many appliances at once
• Older separate houses, where an electrical safety inspection shows how much of the original wiring is left
• Apartment blocks where adding power points inside a unit can need approval from the owners corporation first

Share houses and rentals in Kingsford

With half its homes rented and the university next door, many Kingsford homes are shared, with several people running heaters, laptops and kitchen appliances at once on wiring that was never planned for it. A circuit breaker that trips when too much is on, or a power board plugged into another power board, is a sign the house needs more circuits or more power points, not a bigger breaker.

In a rented home, electrical repairs are the landlord's responsibility and must be done by a licensed electrician, so tenants should report faults to the landlord or agent in writing. Landlords can book an electrical safety inspection between tenancies to find problems before the next tenants move in.
