Licensed electricians for Lambton and New Lambton families. Renovation fit-offs, switchboard upgrades, lighting, power and fault finding, with a free quote before we start.
Lambton and New Lambton are busy family suburbs, with a mix of older weatherboard and brick homes, plenty of renovations and extensions, and a steady stream of people moving in and updating the place. That usually means the electrical side needs attention too, whether it is a kitchen reno that needs extra circuits or a house where the original wiring has been patched up over the years.
Harris Electrical & Solar is a licensed electrical team based in Singleton and working across Newcastle and the Hunter. We come out to look at the job, explain your options in plain English and give you a clear quote before we start.

Most of our Lambton work is around renovations, upgrades and keeping family homes safe. Here is what we get called for most. Our residential electrical page has the full list.
Adding a bathroom, kitchen or extension puts more load on a board that may be decades old. We upgrade switchboards to a modern board with circuit breakers and safety switches, so it is ready for the extra load. Read about switchboard upgrades.
01.
Open-plan renovations and extensions need a proper lighting plan, not just a few downlights. We install LED downlights, pendants over benches, outdoor lights and sensor lights, and help you choose what suits each room.
02.
Building in a new kitchen, laundry or home office? You will need extra circuits and power points in the right spots. We install them, plus USB outlets, ovens, cooktops and ceiling fans.
03.
Sometimes the wiring behind the walls is the problem, not the fittings. If you are renovating an older Lambton house, we can run new cabling before the walls are closed up, which saves a lot of mess later.
04.
If you own a rental in Lambton or New Lambton, NSW rules say you have to keep working smoke alarms in it. We install and replace hardwired and interconnected alarms, and can test your safety switches at the same visit.
05.
A safety switch that keeps dropping out, power points that went dead after a reno, or lights that dim when the oven comes on. We trace the fault, explain what caused it and fix it properly.
06.
With kids, pets and a busy week, the last thing you need is an electrician who is hard to pin down. We give you a time, turn up, and tell you what the job will cost before we start.
Every job is done by a licensed electrician and covered by our insurance, then tested before we hand it back to you.
