Switchboard Upgrades
Old ceramic fuses pulled out, modern RCDs and circuit breakers fitted, full circuit labelling. Compliant to AS/NZS 3000:2018, signed off, ready for the next forty years.
Halden Electrical is a Level 2 ASP based on Sydney's Lower North Shore. We do switchboard upgrades, safety inspections, new builds and the network work most sparkies have to call us in for. One licensed sparky on every job, signed off properly, billed by the hour.
No 24/7 promises we can't keep, no "any electrical work" laundry list. We pick our scope, we run our own jobs, and we sign off our own certificates of compliance. Same-day call-outs available across the lower North Shore most weekdays.
Old ceramic fuses pulled out, modern RCDs and circuit breakers fitted, full circuit labelling. Compliant to AS/NZS 3000:2018, signed off, ready for the next forty years.
Pre-purchase inspections, periodic testing for landlords, post-storm assessments. You get a written report, photos, and a defect list ranked by severity. Not a one-page tick sheet.
Rough-ins for renovations, second-storey additions, granny flats. We work in around builders, hit plasterboard dates, and come back for a tidy fit-off when the job is ready.
Extra GPOs, USB-C combo outlets, LED downlight retrofits, exhaust fans, hardwired smoke alarms. Drop us a list, we'll quote it in writing before we cut a hole.
A handful of jobs across the lower North Shore. Captioned with suburb and scope. Jobs photographed with the customer's permission. Names withheld.
Halden Electrical is deliberately small. One licensed sparky. One ute. One Level 2 ticket on the wall. The work goes through me from the first quote to the final certificate.
I started Halden Electrical in 2012 after seven years on the tools with a commercial outfit in Alexandria. I went out on my own because I was sick of jobs being rushed, certificates signed off without a proper test, and customers being treated like a job number.
Now I run a small residential and light-commercial business covering Sydney's lower North Shore. I hold full Level 2 accreditation with Ausgrid, NSW electrical contractor licence, NECA membership and twenty million in public liability. Every job gets a proper Certificate of Compliance and a tidy invoice.
If I'm on a job, I send you a text. If I'm running late, I send you a text. If I'm late by more than 30 minutes without warning, the call-out is on me. No cash jobs, no shortcuts, no exceptions.
We cover the suburbs we know cold. Federation terraces, post-war brick veneers, and the harbourside builds where the wiring is rarely on a drawing. If you're outside this list, ring us anyway. We may know someone closer.

Job number, suburb, scope, and the customer's own words. We don't write these for them and we don't pay for them. Names shortened to first name and postcode.
Pick a day, tell us what's going on, drop a photo of the board if you have one. We'll come back inside two business hours with a quote slot or a call-out time. No lead-form ping-pong, no "we'll get back to you Monday."
