Frenchs Forest Local
Frenchs Forest sits inland on the bushland side of the Northern Beaches — larger blocks, established family homes, and a steady churn of renovations and EV installs as the suburb's housing stock turns over. We work here weekly.
Frenchs Forest's housing stock is dominated by 1970s and 80s standalone family homes — single-storey brick veneer and brick-and-tile, on generous blocks averaging 700 to 1,000 square metres. There's a meaningful share of original-owner households here, alongside steady renovation activity as homes change hands. The newer 90s and 2000s builds tend to cluster on the ridge-top streets and the Belrose-adjacent areas. Skyline Plaza anchors the local retail strip; Northern Beaches Hospital and the surrounding medical precinct add a commercial layer along Frenchs Forest Road.
Because the suburb is inland and bushland-bordered, the electrical realities differ from the beachside parts of the Northern Beaches. No salt-air corrosion, but tree-and-storm risk to overhead service lines, more outdoor garden lighting on bigger blocks, and a higher share of homes with detached garages or carports separated from the main switchboard. Bushfire-zone considerations apply in pockets near reserve land. None of it is exotic, but it changes how a job gets quoted and installed.

Yes. Frenchs Forest 2086 is one of our core Northern Beaches service areas. Connery Electrical covers Frenchs Forest, Forestville, Killarney Heights and Belrose with same-week booking for non-urgent work and same-day for emergencies. Most of our 2086 work is residential — family homes, additions, renovations, EV chargers — with a smaller share of commercial around the Skyline Plaza strip and the Northern Beaches Hospital precinct. All work under NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 473086C, Certificate of Compliance every time.
Most Frenchs Forest homes are well set up for EV charger installation. The suburb is dominated by standalone family homes on generous blocks, with attached garages or carports in easy reach of the switchboard. The two main questions we check are: switchboard capacity for a dedicated 32A circuit (most homes built from the 80s onward are fine; older 70s boards sometimes need an upgrade first), and the cable run distance from board to garage (usually short in 2086, occasionally longer in the larger ridge-top blocks). EV charger installs in Frenchs Forest are among the simpler jobs we run compared to apartment work elsewhere on the peninsula. We install Tesla, Evnex, Zappi and all major brands. See our EV Charger Installation page for the full process.
Yes. Many original 1970s and 80s Frenchs Forest homes are still on their first or second owner, and pre-purchase or pre-renovation safety inspections are common. We check the switchboard (often still ceramic-fuse or part-upgraded), RCD coverage on every circuit, hardwired smoke alarm condition and placement, exposed wiring in roof spaces and under-house areas, the condition of outdoor power points and garden lighting, and any obvious AS/NZS 3000 non-compliances. You receive a written report with findings and a prioritised list of what needs attention. See our Safety Inspections page for full scope.
Yes. The Northern Beaches Hospital precinct and Skyline Plaza together pull a meaningful commercial demand into Frenchs Forest — medical suites, allied-health practices, cafes, retail, professional services. We handle commercial fitouts, switchboard upgrades, exit and emergency lighting compliance, three-phase work, and scheduled test-and-tag programmes. Connery Electrical is licensed for commercial as well as residential, with the same Certificate of Compliance regardless of job type. See our Commercial Electrician page for the full scope of commercial services.
