Electrician Zetland: common questions

Do you cover Zetland?

Ambient Electrical covers Zetland (postcode 2017), in the City of Sydney area, from Peter's base in Bronte, about 5 km away, including after-hours emergency callouts. Call Peter on 0415 684 120.

Which electrical services suit Zetland homes and businesses?

For Zetland homes, the electrical services that suit best are strata electrical work and power points; for businesses, emergency lighting testing.

Can I add power points in my Zetland apartment?

Power points can be added inside an apartment, but NSW strata rules class installing or replacing wiring, cabling, power or access points as a minor renovation, so the owners corporation has to approve it first. Once it is approved, a licensed electrician does the work and lodges a CCEW for it.

Who do I call when the power goes off in my Zetland apartment?

Start by checking whether the rest of the building or the street is out too. If it is, tell the building manager and check Ausgrid's outage map or call Ausgrid on 13 13 88. If only your apartment is out, look at your unit's switchboard for a tripped safety switch or circuit breaker and reset it once; if it trips again, call a licensed electrician.

How do I get strata approval for electrical work in my Zetland apartment?

Submit your plans to the owners corporation, the strata committee or the strata managing agent. A minor renovation, such as new wiring or power points, is approved at a strata meeting when more than 50% of the votes cast are in favour, and a strata committee that refuses must give written reasons within three months of the request.
