Licensed electricians for Wallsend and West Wallsend. Rewires, switchboard upgrades, shed power, lighting and fault finding for older homes and newer estates, with a free quote before we start.
Wallsend started as a coal mining town, and you can still see it in the streets, with older cottages and weatherboards sitting alongside newer homes. Older places often have wiring and switchboards that have been added to over the decades, while newer homes have their own needs, like extra circuits, air conditioning and EV chargers.
Harris Electrical & Solar is a licensed electrical team based in Singleton, covering Newcastle and the Hunter. We look at the job first, explain what needs doing in plain English and give you a clear quote before we start.
If you are around Nelson Street, Wallsend Plaza or out towards West Wallsend, call us on 02 6571 3848. We also cover greater Newcastle.
From old cottages to larger blocks with sheds, here is the work we are asked for most around Wallsend. See our residential electrical page for more.
If your Wallsend home still has a ceramic fuse board, or the switchboard is a tight old box that has had extra circuits bolted on over the years, it is time to look at it. We fit a modern board with circuit breakers and safety switches. More on switchboard upgrades.

Old cottages and weatherboards often have limited, dim lighting. We add LED lighting, outdoor and driveway lighting and sensor lights, and we check roof space and access before we quote.
02.
Bigger blocks mean sheds, workshops and granny flats that need power. We run supply to detached buildings and add power points, plus ovens, cooktops and ceiling fans inside.
03.
Many older Wallsend homes still have original wiring. If it is the old cloth or rubber-covered type, or you are renovating, a rewire may be worth considering. We explain what it involves and what it costs before you commit.
04.
Landlords in NSW have to keep working smoke alarms in rental properties. We install and replace hardwired and interconnected alarms, and test safety switches at the same visit.
05.
Power points that go dead, safety switches that trip when it rains, or lights flickering across the house. Older wiring can make faults harder to find, so we take the time to trace the cause and fix it properly.

It is worth looking at. Older fuse boards usually have no safety switches, which are there to cut the power quickly if something goes wrong. We can inspect it and tell you honestly whether an upgrade makes sense. See our switchboard upgrades page.
