Lighting, power points, ceiling fans, switchboard and safety switch upgrades, smoke alarms, rewiring and fault finding – we look after every part of a home’s electrical system. Darlinghurst is about as dense as Sydney housing gets: 78.8 per cent flats, 19.6 per cent terraces and 0.9 per cent separate houses, with 61.9 per cent rented and 51.7 per cent of households living alone. Terraces filled the valley by the mid 1880s, villas became boarding houses, and interwar walk-up flats went up through the 1920s and 30s.
Oxford Street, Taylor Square, Stanley Street, Victoria Street and Crown Street carry one of Sydney’s densest hospitality strips, and the St Vincent’s campus at the eastern end brings hospital, research and consulting activity with it. We cover fit-outs, three-phase supply, data cabling, emergency and exit lighting, and maintenance planned around your trading hours.
We provide same-day service across Darlinghurst, Oxford Street, Taylor Square, Victoria Street and the East Sydney side. Failed common-property boards, dead stairwell and exit lighting, tripping venue circuits and water-affected wiring all get the same response: we make the site safe first, then quote.

Nearly 79 per cent of dwellings are flats and much of that is two to four storey interwar stock. We work on common-property boards, rising mains, stairwell lighting and metering, and report clearly to the strata committee.
Oxford Street, Stanley Street and Crown Street trade late, usually with residents above. We handle kitchen and bar circuits, refrigeration supply, emergency and exit lighting and after-hours switching.
Barcom Avenue, Oxford Street and Victoria Street, East Sydney and Rosebank conservation areas cover much of the suburb. We keep new cable, meter enclosures and fittings off street-facing elevations.
Nearly 62 per cent of Darlinghurst homes are rented and over half are single-person households. We repair or replace hard-wired alarms inside the legal window and leave dated records for the agent.

Olympic Electrical started in 2017 with one van, a licence and a simple promise: turn up when we say we will, and charge what we quoted. Spyro still runs the business the same way today, and the team has grown to five-plus licensed electricians working across Sydney and through Darlinghurst and the City of Sydney every week.
You deal with tradespeople, not a call centre. The electrician who quotes your job is the electrician who does it, the site is left clean, and the workmanship is backed by a lifetime labour guarantee. That is how we have built a base of more than 250 happy customers and thousands of completed jobs.

Darlinghurst is stairs and shared corridors. Three of its four conservation areas explicitly describe two to four storey interwar residential flat buildings, and nearly 79 per cent of dwellings are flats. In buildings like that the exit signs and emergency luminaires in the stairwell are the safety system, and they are also the thing nobody looks at until an inspection.
Every job we complete is covered by a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, as New South Wales requires. Where we replace or alter a switchboard, AS/NZS 3000 requires RCD protection on the final subcircuits, so that work is brought up to standard rather than patched around. Type AC safety switches have not been permitted in new electrical work since 1 May 2023, so we fit Type A or Type B as the circuit demands.
We quote the job, and the fixed price is agreed before work starts. Published rates mean little in Darlinghurst, because a lighting circuit in a 1930s walk-up off Barcom Avenue and the same job above a trading venue on Oxford Street involve very different access, hours and making good. So we look at the property, explain what the work involves, and put the figure in writing.
Whether it is a switchboard upgrade, new lighting or a full rewire at home, or a fit-out, three-phase supply and planned maintenance for your business, our licensed electricians handle it end to end. You get a fixed price agreed before we start, a tidy site when we leave, and a lifetime labour guarantee on every job across Darlinghurst and the City of Sydney.
The questions we hear most from Darlinghurst homeowners, apartment residents and strata committees. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Yes, in most cases. We work Monday to Friday from 7am to 5:30pm and Saturday from 7am to 2pm, and Darlinghurst is a short run for our vans. Call 02 8999 3691 early and we will usually get someone to you the same day. If the fault is a safety risk, such as a burning smell or a dead switchboard, it goes to the front of the list.
We do not publish prices, because no two Darlinghurst jobs are the same. A power point in a 1930s walk-up off Barcom Avenue and a fit-out above a trading venue on Oxford Street carry very different labour, access and working hours. We attend, look at the actual work, and give you a fixed price agreed before anything starts. The quote covers materials, labour, testing and the compliance certificate.
Common property that has aged past its installation. Nearly 79 per cent of dwellings are flats and a large share of that is interwar walk-up, so we find shared boards with rewireable fuses or early breakers, rising mains that were never upgraded, and stairwell and exit lighting that has not been tested in years. We replace the board, test every circuit and fit RCD protection where the standard requires it.
The standard maintenance cycle is a six-monthly discharge test, with the results recorded in the building logbook. In practice the two things that catch buildings out here are luminaires that no longer hold their rated duration, and exit signs fed from the wrong board. We test the whole egress path, replace what fails and give you records the strata committee or the building owner can produce on request.
Nearly 79 per cent of Darlinghurst dwellings are flats, so we field this constantly. As a rough guide, wiring inside your lot from the point it branches off common property is usually the owner responsibility, while the shared switchboard, rising mains, meter panels, stairwell lighting and emergency lighting are common property. We attend, identify which side of that line the fault sits on, and write it up so your strata manager has something clear to act on.
Yes, and on that strip it is usually the only way to do it. We scope the work with you first, then do the noisy and isolating parts outside trade, keep refrigeration and cool room circuits live wherever we can, and leave the site presentable for opening. Where the building has residents above, we plan the isolation so their supply is not caught up in your works.
It affects how, not whether. Sydney LEP 2012 lists the Barcom Avenue, Oxford Street and Victoria Street, East Sydney and Rosebank conservation areas over much of Darlinghurst, with periods running from the 1830s through to the mid 1930s. Internal work and switchboard replacement generally proceed normally. We plan routes and choose fittings so nothing new reads from a street-facing elevation, and anything visible externally is worth checking with the City of Sydney first.
In New South Wales a rented home needs a working smoke alarm on every storey. Landlords must repair or replace a faulty alarm within two business days of being told about it, and alarms must be replaced within ten years of the manufacture date. Hard-wired alarms must be worked on by a licensed electrician. With nearly 62 per cent of Darlinghurst homes rented we do this work constantly, and we leave you dated records.
When we are already on site for a booked job, the safety check costs nothing. We look over the switchboard, test the safety switches, check the smoke alarms and look for obvious hazards such as scorched outlets, loose fittings or perished cabling. You get a plain summary of what we found, what is urgent and what can wait. There is no obligation to book any of it.
Every electrician on the team is licensed and insured. We have been trading since 2017 under founder Spyro, with more than five licensed electricians on the tools, over 250 customers and more than 7,000 projects behind us. We back our workmanship with a lifetime labour guarantee, so if something we installed fails because of our work, we come back and fix it.
