Residential Electrical Wiring Services
Gordon's residential streets carry some of the Upper North Shore's finest Federation and inter-war homes — large properties on established blocks that have often retained their original wiring through several decades of ownership. At 80 or more years of age, that wiring is typically rubber-insulated, well past its safe service life, and a genuine fire risk under modern household loads. Positive Vibes Electrical has 15+ years of rewiring experience across the Upper North Shore, with 100% guaranteed workmanship and upfront pricing.
Whether it's a Federation home on Pacific Highway or Addison Road carrying original two-wire wiring, a post-war property with a switchboard that trips under everyday load, or a full renovation requiring new electrical infrastructure from scratch — each job is assessed thoroughly, scoped honestly, and completed to current Australian Standards.
Note: Many of Gordon's larger, older homes have had partial electrical updates over the years but still carry a mix of original and upgraded wiring. A comprehensive fault assessment identifies exactly what needs attention — and what doesn't — before any work is quoted.
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
New additions to an existing home, granny flat conversions, or a rear extension — each needs wiring designed for how the space will actually be used. We plan and install complete systems that integrate cleanly with what's already in place and sign off with a compliance certificate before we leave.
Heritage Home Rewiring
Rubber-insulated cabling from the 1920s to 1940s is a genuine fire risk under the loads modern households place on it. We strip out deteriorating wiring, replace it with modern cable throughout, and ensure the switchboard can handle current and future demand safely.
Switchboard & Circuit Upgrades
A switchboard from the original build is rarely adequate for a home 80 or more years later. We assess the full electrical system, identify what's been stretched beyond its rating, and upgrade the circuits and switchboard to handle modern demand without constant tripping.
Renovation & Extension Wiring
Heritage home renovations involve walls that haven't been opened in generations. We coordinate electrical rough-in and fit-off around your builder's schedule, manage compliance at each stage, and ensure the job is signed off before the walls go back up.
Power Points & Lighting Upgrades
More power points in the kitchen or study, updated lighting circuits for higher ceilings, or exterior fittings that suit the heritage character of the property — all installed properly and positioned where they'll actually be used.
Home Office & Data Networks
A home office running on a shared domestic circuit and a powerboard isn't a proper setup. We install dedicated power circuits and structured data cabling — reliable connectivity built into the home's electrical system, not bolted on as an afterthought.
