Beach houses, semis and walk-up flats
Maroubra stretches from Anzac Parade down to Maroubra Beach. Its housing splits almost evenly: about half flats, and half separate houses or semis.
- Walk-up blocks along Anzac Parade and Maroubra Road, some still with rewireable fuse boards that a fuse box upgrade replaces with circuit breakers and safety switches
- Houses and semis, half the suburb's homes, where safety switch installation at the switchboard protects every light and power circuit
- Shops and food premises around Pacific Square, where kitchen equipment falls in the higher-risk group that SafeWork NSW says should be tested at least once a year

Electrician Maroubra: common questions
Do you cover Maroubra?
Ambient Electrical covers Maroubra (postcode 2035), in the Randwick City Council area, from Peter's base in Bronte, about 6 km away, including after-hours emergency callouts. Call Peter on 0415 684 120.
Which electrical services suit Maroubra homes?
The electrical services that suit Maroubra homes best are switchboard upgrades, safety switches, and fault finding.
Should I replace the fuse board in my Maroubra home?
A fuse board with rewireable ceramic fuses and no safety switches is a common reason to upgrade a switchboard. Fuses protect the wiring from overload but not people from electric shock, and a blown fuse is easy to rewire with the wrong wire. A new board brings circuit breakers and safety switches, and the licensed electrician lodges a CCEW for the work.

What should I do if my Maroubra home loses power?
Check whether the neighbours or street lights are out first. If they are, the fault is on Ausgrid's network: check its outage map or call Ausgrid on 13 13 88. If only your home is out, look at the switchboard for a tripped safety switch or circuit breaker and reset it once; if it trips again, or nothing has tripped, call a licensed electrician.
Who fixes the wiring in a Maroubra walk-up block?
It depends on whose property the fault is in. NSW strata law makes the owners corporation responsible for repairing common property, such as the lights in a shared stairwell, and each owner responsible for their own lot, so a fault inside your unit is yours to fix, or your landlord's if you rent. Report a common-property fault to the strata manager or committee, who arrange the electrician.
