Your local Forestville electrician.

Electrical3 is based in Cromer, minutes from Forestville. We work on 1960s to 1980s brick homes on larger blocks, many backing onto bushland — the faults, switchboards, lighting and EV charging that come with them.

What makes wiring in Forestville different

An established 1960s village suburb with a mix of original and renovated homes. The common finding is a board that has been added to over the years rather than replaced, with a patchwork of circuit protection and no clear record of what feeds what.

Bush-interface properties make smoke alarms, safety switches and tidy external work matter more than they do closer in. Larger blocks also mean longer runs to sheds, pools and studios.

What we do in Forestville

Faults and emergencies

No power, tripping circuits, burning smells, hot switches. We find the cause rather than replacing parts until it stops.

Power and smoke alarms

Extra power points, safety switches and compliant interconnected smoke alarms.

EV charging

Good news for EV charging: garages here are usually generous and close enough to the board to keep the install simple. Price an EV charger →

Renovations
