A Sparky Who Knows Beacon Hill Homes

Connery Electrical is based on the Northern Beaches, and Beacon Hill is a regular stop. It is a classic 1960s and 70s brick family suburb on the hill, and we know exactly what these homes need as they get renovated and brought up to date.

Beacon Hill is one of the most consistent housing pockets on the Northern Beaches. It was built out largely in the 1960s and 1970s with solid brick family homes on good blocks, climbing the hill between Brookvale and Frenchs Forest. Being elevated and set back from the coast, it sees far less salt air than the beachfront suburbs, so the outdoor corrosion problem is smaller here. The bigger issue is simply age: most of these homes are now 50 or 60 years old, and the original switchboards, wiring and lighting are due for modernising.

Because the housing is so uniform in age, the work follows a pattern. A family buys a tidy but dated Beacon Hill home and starts updating it, and the electrical almost always needs to catch up. Original switchboards with ceramic fuses and no safety switches, not enough power points for modern living, dated halogen lighting, and wiring that has done its time. Renovation electrical and switchboard upgrades make up the bulk of what we do across Beacon Hill.

Most Common Jobs

What We Do Most in Beacon Hill

These five jobs cover most of our Beacon Hill call-outs. If yours is not on the list, ring us anyway, most jobs fit one of these patterns.

Switchboard upgrades on 1960s and 70s homes — the defining Beacon Hill job. Original ceramic-fuse boards and part-upgraded mixes replaced with a modern board and safety switches on every circuit.
Renovation electrical — Beacon Hill has a steady flow of families updating solid old homes. New kitchens and bathrooms, downlights throughout, extra power points, and the wiring to support a modern household, all to plan and to code.
LED lighting upgrades — swapping out the dated halogen downlights these homes were built with for efficient, longer-lasting LEDs. One of the quickest wins in a 60s or 70s home.
EV charger installation — more Beacon Hill driveways are getting a home charger. We assess the switchboard capacity, run the dedicated circuit, and install in one visit where the board allows.
Emergency callouts for tripped boards and outages — older Beacon Hill wiring trips at the worst times. We attend fast because we are minutes away in neighbouring Brookvale and Dee Why.

What is the most common electrical job in Beacon Hill homes?

Switchboard upgrades and renovation electrical. Beacon Hill is almost entirely 1960s and 1970s brick family homes, and most still run the original switchboard or a part-upgraded mix with ceramic fuses and no safety switches. As families renovate these homes, the board and the wiring need bringing up to current standard at the same time. Replacing the switchboard, adding safety switches on every circuit, and updating the lighting and power points is the most common work we do across Beacon Hill.

We are renovating a Beacon Hill home, can you handle the electrical?

Yes, that is a big part of what we do here. Renovating a 1960s or 70s Beacon Hill home almost always means the electrical needs to catch up with the new layout. We work to your plan, adding power points and lighting where you need them, running new circuits for the kitchen and bathrooms, fitting LED downlights, and upgrading the switchboard so the whole house is protected by modern safety switches. We quote it as a fixed price up front so there are no surprises mid-renovation.
