Electrician in Surry Hills

Terraces, warehouse flats and the Crown Street cafes

Surry Hills sits just south-east of the CBD, a mix of Victorian terraces, converted warehouses and newer apartment blocks around the cafes and restaurants of Crown Street. More than two in three of its homes are flats and nearly two in three are rented.

• Restaurants and cafes along Crown Street, where commercial electrical work and kitchen circuits are planned around service hours
• Rented flats, where the landlord is responsible for working smoke alarms and only a licensed electrician may replace a hard-wired one
• Apartment blocks whose shared lighting and power belong to the owners corporation, so strata electrical work goes through the strata manager

Restaurant and cafe electrical work in Surry Hills

A commercial kitchen draws far more power than a home, so most cafe and restaurant jobs start at the switchboard: whether it has room for a new circuit, whether the existing circuits are protected, and whether the supply can carry the new equipment. Shop and cafe fit-outs are planned so the work happens before opening or after close.

Every installation, repair or alteration of fixed wiring in NSW needs a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, lodged within seven days of the work being finished and tested. It is worth filing with the lease papers for the next inspection or fit-out.
