Residential Electrical Wiring Services
Forestville is largely post-war residential — brick homes built through the 1950s, 60s, and 70s on well-established blocks that back onto Garigal National Park. A significant number of these homes still carry their original wiring, and at 50 or more years of age, that cabling is past its safe service life. Positive Vibes Electrical has 15+ years of residential rewiring experience across the Upper North Shore, with 100% guaranteed workmanship and honest pricing on every job.
Whether it's a 1960s brick home where the wiring hasn't been touched since it was built, a property with a fuse board that trips when the air-conditioning comes on, or an extension that needs new electrical circuits integrated into an existing system — each job gets a proper assessment, clear quote, and work completed to current Australian Standards with compliance sign-off included.
Note: Homes built in the 1950s and 1960s frequently contain original TPS wiring or early PVC cabling that is now at risk of insulation breakdown. An early electrical safety inspection catches these issues while they're still manageable — before a circuit fails under load.
Done efficiently and perfectly. I'm very happy that the power is now back on during this awkward period of Christmas rush.

Our Electrical Wiring Services
Residential Wiring Installations
Building a new home, adding a granny flat, or extending an existing property all require electrical systems designed around the actual layout and intended use. We design and install complete wiring solutions — not a one-size approach applied regardless of the property.
Electrical Rewiring for Old Homes
Properties built in the 1950s to 1970s frequently carry original cabling that's now past its safe service life. We assess the full system, replace deteriorating cable and outdated fuse boards, and bring the property to current compliance standard throughout.
Home Electrical Upgrades
An overloaded switchboard or circuits that trip under everyday use aren't just inconvenient — they're a sign the electrical system isn't coping. We identify what's failing and upgrade it properly, without replacing what doesn't need replacing.
Home Renovation Wiring
Renovation projects regularly open up walls that haven't been touched in decades, exposing wiring that needs attention. We work alongside your builder at every stage — rough-in, fit-off, and compliance sign-off — to keep the project on schedule.
Additional Power Points & Lighting
Power points where you actually need them, proper task lighting, and exterior fittings that work for the property — all installed by a licensed electrician and signed off as part of the job rather than added as a separate afterthought.
Home Office & Data Networks
A properly wired home office needs dedicated power circuits and structured data cabling — not a multi-board run from a single domestic outlet. We install purpose-designed setups that perform reliably whether you're on a video call or running multiple screens.

Updating your home's electrical infrastructure delivers significant advantages:
- Enhanced family safety with modern circuit protection
- Lower power bills through efficient wiring design

Most families can remain at home throughout the rewiring process.
