Limited-time offers for homes, apartments and businesses across Alexandria, Alexandria Park, the McEvoy Street and Botany Road strips and the Bourke Road warehouse precinct. Mention the offer when you book and we will apply it to your quote.
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. Alexandria is an apartment and terrace suburb: about 65 per cent of dwellings are flats and another 29 per cent are semis or terraces, with under five per cent standalone houses. Much of the unit stock sits on former industrial land, and the terraces are workers cottages from the factory era.
Alexandria was once called the Birmingham of Australia, with around 550 factories operating here by 1943, and those buildings are now studios, showrooms, gyms, cafes and warehouse offices along Bourke Road, Euston Road and Huntley Street. 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 Alexandria, Alexandria Park and the Bourke Road and Euston Road precincts. Failed switchboards, dead three-phase supply in a warehouse unit, tripping common-property circuits and water-affected wiring all get the same response: we make the site safe first, then quote.
At Olympic Electrical, we are proud to be the electricians Alexandria families, strata committees and business owners trust. Every job is handled by fully licensed tradespeople with years of experience behind them and a standard of work we stand by.
Whether it is a straightforward installation, a switchboard upgrade, power out to a shed or studio, or an emergency electrician at short notice, we are equipped for it. We are more than just electricians – we are the local electrician experts across the City of Sydney, for every job big and small.
We are just a call away – wherever you are in Alexandria, from Alexandria Park and the McEvoy Street strip through Botany Road, Bourke Road, Euston Road, Huntley Street and Mitchell Road, we get an electrician to you fast.
Around 65 per cent of Alexandria dwellings are flats, many built on old factory sites. We trace faults across shared switchboards, rising mains, basement and common-area lighting, then write it up for your strata manager.
The single-fronted terraces off Buckland and Huntley Streets were wired long before induction cooktops and split systems. We rewire brittle cabling, fit a modern board with safety switches and keep the disruption contained.
Converted units on Bourke and Euston Roads often inherit dated three-phase gear and undersized distribution. We assess the supply, move to LED high bay and split the load onto properly protected circuits.
About 52 per cent of Alexandria homes are rented. We repair or replace hard-wired alarms inside the legal window, check one is fitted on every storey and leave dated records for your agent.
All our electricians are fully licensed, insured, and continuously trained to stay current with industry standards. We bring years of hands-on experience to every project, making sure your electrical work is done safely and to the highest possible standard.

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 Alexandria 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.

Alexandria was the industrial engine of Sydney, with around 550 factories here by 1943. Most of those buildings are still standing and now hold studios, showrooms, gyms and warehouse offices, which means fitting out on electrical infrastructure that was designed for machinery, not for people at desks.
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 Alexandria, because a lighting circuit in a new Botany Road apartment and the same job in a converted Bourke Road warehouse involve very different access, cable runs 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 Alexandria and the City of Sydney.
The questions we hear most from Alexandria 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 Alexandria 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 Alexandria jobs are the same. A power point in a new Botany Road apartment and a rewire in a Buckland Street terrace carry very different labour, access and making good. 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.
Overloaded shared switchboards in the flats, and dated boards in the terraces. The workers cottages off Buckland and Huntley Streets were wired for a light and a radio and now carry induction cooktops, dryers and split systems, while converted blocks often run distribution that was never designed for residential load. We replace the board, test every circuit and fit RCD protection where the standard requires it.
About 65 per cent of Alexandria 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 car park 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. Type AC safety switches have not been allowed in new electrical work since 1 May 2023, and an EV charger needs Type A or Type B protection depending on the charger and the installation. We check the existing supply, the switchboard capacity and the cable route from the board to the bay or garage, then quote a compliant install. In Alexandria that is usually a basement car space, so owners corporation approval is normally needed first.
A supply and distribution assessment first, because the existing board was sized for machinery rather than for lighting, air conditioning and forty workstations. Then LED high bay and feature lighting on zoned circuits, power and structured data to desk positions through floor boxes or overhead tray, and an emergency and exit lighting system that suits the new use. We design, install and certify the lot.
Often, yes. Alexandria had around 550 factories by 1943 and many were converted rather than rebuilt, so we still find industrial-era distribution boards, redundant machine circuits that were abandoned live inside walls and ceilings, and long runs with no RCD protection anywhere. We isolate and remove what is dead, test what is staying, and bring the board up to current standard before anything new is added to it.
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 about 52 per cent of Alexandria 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.
Alexandria 2015 is core territory for us, including Alexandria Park, the McEvoy Street and Botany Road strips, Bourke Road, Euston Road, Huntley Street, Mitchell Road, Fountain Street and Buckland Street. We also cover Beaconsfield, Erskineville, Zetland, Waterloo, Rosebery, Green Square, Redfern, Eveleigh, Macdonaldtown, Darlington, Surry Hills, Strawberry Hills, Chippendale and Central Park.
