Residential Electrical Wiring Services
Killara is one of the Upper North Shore's most established suburbs, its leafy streets lined with large Federation and inter-war homes that have been in the same families for generations. Many of these properties still carry their original electrical infrastructure — rubber-insulated cabling from the 1930s and 1940s, ceramic fuse boxes, and earthing arrangements that haven't been reviewed since installation. Positive Vibes Electrical has 15+ years of rewiring experience with properties exactly like these, with 100% guaranteed workmanship and upfront pricing.
Whether it's a large Federation home on Pacific Highway or Fiddens Wharf Road carrying original wiring across multiple levels, a property that has had partial updates but still retains hazardous sections of old cable, or a major renovation requiring a complete electrical system from scratch — every job is assessed properly before work begins and completed to current Australian Standards.
Note: Partial rewires are common in Killara's older homes — sections of updated cable sitting alongside original rubber-insulated wiring. A comprehensive wiring assessment maps the full system and identifies exactly what needs attention before anything is replaced.
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.
