Our services
Home Electrical Services From Hamilton to The Junction
A dead power point or tripping board never picks a convenient day, so here’s what we fix across Newcastle:
-
Fault Finding & Repairs
Call for a quoteWhen a Hamilton home loses a circuit or keeps tripping, our fault finding uses diagnostic equipment to find the exact cause of the fault, then we complete a certified repair.
-
Switchboard Upgrades
Our switchboard upgrades replace older boards with ceramic fuses or no safety switch, which gives a Cooks Hill home modern circuit protection and room for new circuits down the track.
-
EV Charger Installation
Before a charger goes live in a Kotara garage, our EV charger installation team runs a dedicated circuit with network-approved wiring, then tests and certifies the setup for first use.
-
Solar & Battery Systems
New Lambton households can pair rooftop panels with a home battery through our solar and battery systems, with backup circuits designed to keep the essentials running during a grid outage.
-
Lighting & Power Points

Local know-how
Newcastle Rules That Shape Your Electrical Work
June 2007 rain at Nobbys Signal Station reached 4.2 times its June normal, and local rules add their planning steps:
-
Heritage Area Solar
On heritage and contributory buildings in Cooks Hill, The Hill and Newcastle East, council's heritage rules permit visible solar only where there's no feasible alternative, so placement needs settling first.
-
Mine Subsidence Approvals
Where a Newcastle property sits inside a Mine Subsidence District, building or extending needs Subsidence Advisory NSW approval before work starts, and new circuits are best planned alongside that approval.
-
Public EV Charging Network
City of Newcastle is growing its public EV network to 50 ports across 15 locations, including Hamilton and Wickham, while a dedicated circuit in your own garage handles overnight charging.
-
June 2007 Storm Record
Nobbys Signal Station's 495.8 mm in June 2007 broke its 1950 June record of 485.7 mm, making surge protection, safety switches and battery backup worth checking before the next storm.
Warning signs
Warning Signs of an Electrical Fault in Newcastle Homes
Is that flicker or faint buzz just a quirk of the house, or an early fault? Watch for these signs:
-
Safety Switch Keeps Tripping
If a Tighes Hill safety switch trips again straight after one reset, there's a fault in a circuit, an appliance or the switch itself, so unplug everything and call us.
-
Flickering or Dimming Lights
Lights that flicker or dim in a Broadmeadow home when the air conditioner starts can mean a loose connection or overloaded circuit, which is worth tracing before it damages fittings.
-
Warm or Buzzing Outlets
Should a power point in an Islington home feel warm or buzz under load, switch it off, because heat there points to a worn contact, loose terminal or damaged cable.
-
Burning Smell Near Switches
Any burning or hot plastic smell near a Georgetown light switch means switching that circuit off at the board and calling us immediately, since melting insulation is a fire hazard.
24/7 emergencies
Emergency Electrician Newcastle 24/7
One quick look at your switchboard saves time: if a safety switch has tripped, reset it once, and if neighbours are dark too, it’s likely a network outage. Stay at least 8 metres from any fallen line and call Ausgrid on 13 13 88.
Need an after hours electrician? Newcastle faults on your side of the meter go straight to our 24/7 emergency service on 1300 644 744, and even in an emergency you get a fixed quote before any work starts.

How we work
Our Electrical Process for Newcastle & Hunter Homes
Nobody likes a tradie who vanishes mid-job or sends a surprise bill, so every Newcastle job runs the same way:
- Call or Book Online: Phone 1300 644 744 or book through our website to describe the problem, and your first service booked online comes with $50 off.
- On-Site Assessment: Every job starts with an on-site assessment, so our electrician understands what you need and finds the cause before anything is priced.
- Fixed Upfront Quote: The price for the whole job arrives as a free, fixed quote, and no work goes ahead until you’ve said yes to it.
- Licensed Work & Testing: Once you approve the quote, licensed Restore Electrical electricians complete the work, then finish with final testing before handing the job back.
- Compliance Certificate: We issue a Certificate of Compliance for your records, as NSW CCEW requirements demand after electrical work, then tidy up under our Clean Home Promise.

FAQs
Local Electrician Newcastle Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers on networks, heritage rules, batteries and pricing for homeowners booking electrical work around Newcastle:
01 Who runs the power network in Newcastle?
Ausgrid runs the electricity network across Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, the Central Coast and Sydney, and you report fallen lines to Ausgrid on 13 13 88, while faults inside your home come to us.
02 Can I put solar panels on a heritage home in Cooks Hill or The Hill?
You can apply, but council’s rules require development consent for most changes and allow solar on visible parts of heritage or contributory buildings only where there’s no feasible alternative, with panels following the roof profile.
03 Is there a battery rebate for Newcastle homes in 2026?
The NSW battery installation discount has ended, but Newcastle homes may be eligible for the federal Cheaper Home Batteries discount and combine it with the NSW virtual power plant incentive.
04 Do you send an after hours electrician in Newcastle?
Yes, our 24/7 emergency service covers urgent faults across Newcastle, and you’ll agree the scope and cost with our electrician before any repair starts, even in the middle of the night.
05 How do you price electrical work in Newcastle?
We price each Newcastle job with a free fixed quote before work starts, charge no call-out fee to assess the problem, and back the workmanship with a lifetime labour warranty.
06 Should I book a general or Level 2 electrician?
Book a general electrician for work from the meter and switchboard inward, or a Level 2 electrician for the service line connecting Ausgrid’s network to your property, and we’re licensed and accredited for both.
