Electrical work in Balmain & Rozelle
Much of the peninsula sits within heritage conservation areas. Overhead service lines often attach directly to the front facade, meter boxes sit in tight front verandahs, and switchboards are squeezed into hallways. Relocating a meter box or running a service underground needs to be done neatly and sympathetically.
Renovations here commonly add ducted air conditioning, induction cooking, a lift or an EV charger to homes wired for a fraction of that load. We assess the existing supply, upgrade the consumer mains or move to three-phase where it makes sense, and coordinate the network side ourselves.

Balmain & Rozelle questions
Can the service line on our terrace facade be moved?
Often, yes. Options depend on the street network, heritage requirements and your neighbour’s connection. We inspect first and explain what is achievable.
Our renovation needs more power. Do we need three-phase?
Not always. Sometimes a consumer mains upgrade on single phase is enough. We calculate the load and recommend the most cost-effective option.
