Strata electrician Sydney — common property electrical done properly

Common-area lighting — foyer, lobbies, stairwells, corridors, letterbox lighting, car park lighting, external building lighting. LED conversions on time-clocks or motion sensors are one of the fastest ROI upgrades a committee can approve.

Emergency and exit lighting — AS 2293.2 six-monthly discharge testing, battery replacements, luminaire replacement, plus a compliant log book each visit. Buildings with an Annual Fire Safety Statement need this documented in a specific format — we deliver it in the format your fire contractor expects.

Lifts, gates, garage doors, intercoms — the electrical supply and control power to the lift shaft, boom gate, roller door motor and intercom head unit are all common property. When something stops working the strata electrician is the first call, before the lift company or gate specialist.

Main switchboard for common services — separate from unit meters. Ageing common-property boards with ceramic fuses or no RCDs are a common defect on strata building reports and often the trigger for a committee vote to upgrade.

Fire indicator panel power, TV MATV/data risers, common-area GPOs, and rooftop plant power (booster pumps, exhaust fans, cooling towers) all sit under the strata electrician's scope.

Site inspection — we attend, meet the building manager or committee member, and produce a written scope with photos. No verbal quotes on strata work.

Committee-ready quote — fixed price, staged options where appropriate, Certificate of Currency for insurance attached, quote referenced to the strata plan number and lot numbers if applicable.

Strata manager coordination — quote emailed to the managing agent in their preferred format (portal upload, PDF, or direct via their maintenance email). We chase the approval so the committee doesn't have to.

Works and invoicing — scheduled to minimise resident disruption, completed to AS/NZS 3000, invoice sent to the strata manager with all compliance paperwork attached.

LED conversion of common-area lighting — typical Sydney strata plan sees payback in 18–36 months from electricity savings, plus dramatically fewer maintenance callouts (LED drivers last 10× longer than halogen or fluorescent).

Motion sensor and time-clock control on car parks and corridors — 40–60% additional energy saving on top of LED conversion, with better security lighting where it's actually needed.

Common-property switchboard upgrade with RCBOs — removes the highest-liability defect on most strata inspection reports and future-proofs the board for EV charging and solar.

EV charging infrastructure — even installing the sub-mains capacity for future EV chargers (before painting the car park) is dramatically cheaper than retrofitting five years later.

Solar and battery on common services — pool pump, lift, common lighting and hot water booster run on solar during the day, cutting the strata levy line for electricity by 40–70%.

Foyer / stairwell / corridor lights out — a life-safety issue after dark, priority make-safe.

Lift power out — coordinate with lift maintenance company, isolate and make safe electrically so the lift company can attend.

Boom gate or garage door stuck — residents locked out or in; usually a control-power or contactor fault.

Fire indicator panel alarm or fault — attend, identify cause (often a faulty smoke head or lost 240V), coordinate with fire contractor for compliance sign-off.

Common-property switchboard tripping repeatedly — isolate faulty circuit, restore power to unaffected areas, quote permanent repair.

Water ingress into common electrical (basement flooding, roof leak into meter room) — isolate, dry, test, replace what's failed, report to insurance if required.
