Ermington is a mix of eras. The 2021 Census recorded 60.3 per cent separate houses, a little under the 65.6 per cent state share, but 21.2 per cent townhouses and semis, nearly double the NSW figure. From 1945 the government built hundreds of Housing and War Commission homes here for returned servicemen, and in 2006 Stockland began the Riverwalk estate on the old naval depot beside the river. We handle rewiring for 1940s and 1950s homes and board upgrades in townhouses.
Ermington’s shopping strip on Betty Cuthbert Avenue has served locals since 1958. After the war, food processors and cosmetic and pharmaceutical firms set up factories and warehouses in the area, and the suburb also holds Timor Barracks and Lottie Stewart Hospital. We carry out commercial electrical maintenance, shop refits and warehouse lighting upgrades.
Ermington gets our same-day service from Victoria Road right down to the river. Frequent urgent calls: a Commission-era house with a scorched fuse, a townhouse RCD that refuses to reset, or a shop on Betty Cuthbert Avenue losing power to its fridges.
Renters occupy 42.8 per cent of Ermington dwellings, against 32.6 per cent across NSW, so agents and landlords are a big part of our week here. They need alarms compliant, tired circuits fixed and quick turnarounds between tenants. Young families who bought older houses from the early 2000s onward call us for kitchen and extension work, and Riverwalk owners want lighting, fans and car chargers. As your Ermington electrician we also look after the local shops.
The suburb runs from Kissing Point Road down to the Parramatta River, crossed by Victoria Road and Silverwater Road. Parramatta Light Rail Stage 2 is being built through the suburb as well. Whether it is an urgent fault in an original Commission-era kitchen or a new board for a townhouse, we cover it here and across the Northern Suburbs.
Hundreds of Housing and War Commission houses went up from 1945. Many still have early circuits and small boards, so we rewire in stages, add earthing and bring kitchens up to modern loads.
About 21.2 per cent of Ermington dwellings are townhouses or semis. We upgrade unit boards, trace faults on shared supply and confirm with the strata what belongs to common property.
Built from 2006 on the former naval stores site beside the Parramatta River, these homes have modern boards. Owners call us for extra lighting, ceiling fans, outdoor power and EV chargers.
With 42.8 per cent of homes rented, agents rely on us to replace expired smoke alarms, test RCDs and supply dated records between tenancies so owners meet NSW rules.
Our licensed electricians know Ermington’s post-war Commission houses as well as the Riverwalk homes, and they can tell original 1940s wiring from later additions at a glance.
An Ermington job is quoted only once we have seen it, and the figure comes in writing. A riverside townhouse and a Spurway Street cottage never share a quote.
A dead fridge circuit in a Betty Cuthbert Avenue shop or a rental with no power off Bartlett Street gets moved up our list that working day.
Ermington landlords, property managers and young families make up a good share of our 250+ customers, and many arrived through a neighbour’s recommendation.
Labour on circuits we install in Ermington homes and shops is guaranteed for life, whether in a 1940s cottage ceiling or a new riverside townhouse.
Choose a slot that suits your family or your tenants. If the home is managed by an agent, we can arrange keys and access directly with the office.
After checking the board and the cable routes, we explain the options and email a written fixed price. Landlords get a copy they can forward to the owner.
We plan around Victoria Road traffic and arrive within the window set. If a job overruns elsewhere, we phone ahead with a revised time rather than going quiet.
Floors and furniture are covered, dust and offcuts are cleared, and you receive the compliance certificate plus a short list of what we replaced.

Spyro set up the business in 2017, and Ermington quickly became a regular stop for our crew, given its mix of rentals, family homes and townhouses. With more than five licensed electricians, we can handle a landlord’s alarm list in the morning and a Riverwalk renovation in the afternoon. The same electrician sees each job through, and we keep records so the next visit is quicker.

From 1945 the government built hundreds of Housing and War Commission homes in Ermington, and many still run on circuits from that era. Rewiring these houses is the job we quote most often in 2115.
Every Ermington visit ends with us lodging the CCEW, the Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work that NSW demands after electrical jobs. In Commission-era homes that paperwork carries weight, because we regularly find amateur extensions and missing earths in roof spaces. Any hazard outside the job scope is written down for you, and if the board is altered, residual current protection goes onto the final subcircuits as AS/NZS 3000 requires.
We give Ermington owners a written fixed figure after inspecting the job. The difference between homes is real: adding lights to a recent Riverwalk townhouse with easy ceiling access is quick, while the same work in a 1940s cottage with a low roof and old cabling takes longer. Seeing it first means the number we write is the number you pay.
Ermington rental needing alarm compliance, a Commission-era house still on fuses, or a riverside townhouse ready for an EV charger? Dial 02 8999 3691 and one of our licensed team will size it up on site, put a set price on paper and stand behind the labour permanently.
Ermington landlords, property managers, young families and local shop owners ask us these questions most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Usually. Crews are out from 7am until 5:30pm Monday to Friday and from 7am until 2pm Saturday, with Sundays off. Ermington sits a short drive from our Beecroft base, so ringing 02 8999 3691 before mid-morning tends to land an afternoon visit. Smoke, heat or sparking gets priority over routine work.
We set the price after seeing the work. A new circuit in a Riverwalk home might be straightforward, while one in a post-war cottage could mean crawling through a tight roof and replacing old cable along the way. Once we have inspected, you receive one fixed figure in writing that holds unless you add to the job.
It needs checking. Many Ermington houses date from the post-1945 building program and carry early wiring, rewireable fuses and no RCDs. Some circuits are still sound, others have perished insulation or poor earths. We test everything, tell you honestly what can stay, and quote a new board with Type A safety switches plus any rewiring needed.
Leased NSW homes need a working alarm on each storey. A tenant’s fault report starts a two business day repair clock for the landlord, and any alarm past ten years from its manufacture date is due for replacement. Mains-powered units are licensed-electrician work only. Because so many Ermington homes are leased, agents also book our smoke alarm testing and file the dated records we leave.
Usually it depends where the fault is. Circuits from your own board into your rooms are normally the owner’s responsibility, while the main supply, shared meter panels and driveway lighting are usually common property. Once we pin down the failed part, both you and your strata manager get an emailed report, which settles whose invoice it is.
Yes. Riverwalk homes are recent builds with modern boards, so where there is a garage or driveway a wall charger is usually fairly simple. We check your supply and spare capacity, run a dedicated protected circuit to the garage and mount the charger. In townhouse groups we also prepare details for strata approval if the cable crosses common property.
We do. The strip has served Ermington since 1958, and many tenancies run on old wiring that struggles with modern refrigeration and cooking gear. We add dedicated circuits, replace tired fittings with LED lighting, test exit and emergency lights, and schedule shutdowns before opening or after close.
Parts of Ermington beside the Parramatta River sit on swamp land that was filled in the 1930s, so yards near George Kendall Riverside Park can stay wet after heavy rain. If water reaches power points, garden lights or a sub-floor, switch off at the main if safe and call us. We test the affected circuits, replace damaged fittings and can relocate outdoor power higher on the wall.
Yes. Many young families who bought older Ermington houses are extending or opening up the back of the home. We work with your builder from the start, relocate the board if needed, add circuits for new appliances and fit lighting once the walls are closed, so nothing has to be opened twice.
