Amazing Service and Expertise
David and the team at Hornsby Electric did an amazing job.
This was a significant repair requiring Level 2 Electricians, liaison with Ausgrid and Neighbours.
Completed on time and on budget, despite some additional difficulties encountered along the way.

Switchboard Upgrade
After suffering multiple outages due to blown fuse wires that was swiftly resolved by Hornsby Electric, I decided to completely overhaul the electricity supply setup and upgrade the switchboard. Jacob explained in detail the pros and cons of different options, and I selected to replace the 600 x 600 meter box with a 900 x 600 one to cater for future growth.
On the day of the upgrade, two Level 2 electricians performed the upgrade starting at 7am and completed by around 3pm. All tasks were carried out as described in the quotation, and now I have an up-to-date standard switchboard with a smart meter and circuit-breakers covering all 3 phases.
A week after the upgrade half the sockets in the kitchen were out. Jacob guided me over the phone to troubleshoot the issue, and identified that a circuit-breaker was faulty. An electrician arrived within 2 hours to replace the circuit-breaker with a new one.
So if you need major electrical work performed, Hornsby Electric will complete the job professionally and provide ongoing support to give you the utmost confidence and peace of mind.

The job was done properly but I thought the electrician should have come the the light to install instead of going away to get it .I had told him I needed a replacement sensor light before he came so why did he not bring one with him?

Thanks for the review! Sometimes the issue may be a fault for lights, and sometimes we need to double check on the light required before installation as there are so many variations. We hope we can help you again in the future when you have electrical issues that arise. From all the team at Hornsby Electric
