Common Electrical Issues in Randwick
Based on our experience servicing Randwick properties, these are the most common electrical issues we encounter:
- Federation-era homes with original wiring that hasn't been updated since construction ā knob and tube wiring, ungrounded circuits, and ceramic fuse boards are common
- Older apartment blocks with undersized switchboards that can't handle modern appliance loads ā air conditioning, EV chargers, and induction cooktops push these boards to their limits
- Light rail construction disruption has exposed and sometimes damaged underground electrical services in properties along the Anzac Parade and High Street corridors
- Student accommodation around UNSW with overloaded power circuits from multiple tenants using high-draw appliances
- Heritage-listed properties that require sensitive electrical work to maintain period character while meeting modern safety standards
