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. Leichhardt is a mixed housing suburb, with 36.5 per cent separate houses, 33.6 per cent semis and terraces and 29.0 per cent flats at the 2021 Census, and the bulk of it built out during the Federation period. Switchboard upgrades, new circuits, lighting, power points, fault finding and safety compliance are all handled by our own licensed electricians.
We service the shops, offices, consulting suites, gyms and clubs around Norton Street, Marion Street and Marketplace Leichhardt, plus the mixed-use buildings above them. Work is scheduled around trading hours so the doors stay open. We cover fit-outs, three-phase supply, data cabling, emergency and exit lighting, and maintenance planned around your trading hours.
Dead power, a burning smell, a board that will not stay on or water into a light fitting is not something to sit on. We take Leichhardt calls through our working hours and get a licensed electrician out to make it safe.
At Olympic Electrical, we are proud to be the electricians Leichhardt 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 Inner West, for every job big and small.
We are just a call away – wherever you are in Leichhardt, from the Norton Street and Marion Street precincts through to the Excelsior Estate, Piperston, West Leichhardt, Flood Street and the Balmain Road corridor, we get an electrician to you fast.
Lights flicker, breakers trip when the kettle and heater run together, or the board still carries ceramic rewireable fuses. We replace the switchboard, fit Type A RCDs on final subcircuits and label every circuit clearly.
Halogen downlights in a Federation cottage run hot, blow globes and sit tight against ceiling insulation. We swap them for LED fittings with correct clearances and run new cabling through solid brick walls without cutting the facade.
Stairwell lights fail, the car park sensor stays dark or the common property board trips and takes the lift lobby with it. We test, repair and report back to the strata manager with photos and a written scope.
Battery alarms chirp at night, or an agent inspection flags alarms older than ten years. We fit hard-wired interconnected alarms, one on every storey, and issue the paperwork the managing agent needs for the file.
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.
From the first quote to the final invoice, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying for. Our clear communication and honest approach help you plan your project with complete confidence.

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 Leichhardt and the Inner West 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.

More Leichhardt households are dropping gas and moving to induction cooking, heat pump hot water and reverse-cycle heating, often after a free Inner West Council energy consultation. The appliance is the easy part, and the real work is making sure the switchboard, the mains and the circuits behind it can actually carry the new load safely.
Every job we finish in Leichhardt is tested before we leave and covered by a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, which NSW requires and which we give you a copy of. Type AC devices have been banned in new NSW electrical work since 1 May 2023, so we fit Type A or Type B protection. When a switchboard is replaced or altered, AS/NZS 3000 requires RCD protection on final subcircuits, and we do not cut corners there.
We do not publish rates, because a Federation cottage off Piperston and a strata car park behind Norton Street are not the same job. We come out, look at the switchboard, the cable runs and the access, then we quote the job and the fixed price is agreed before work starts. If we find something extra once walls or ceilings are open, we stop, explain it and requote before continuing.
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 Leichhardt and the Inner West.
The questions we hear most from Leichhardt homeowners, apartment residents and strata committees. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Often yes. We are on the road across the Inner West from seven in the morning, Monday to Friday until five thirty, and Saturday until two. Leichhardt is a short run for our vans, so if you call early with no power, a tripping board or a burning smell, we will usually get an electrician to you the same day. Ring 02 8999 3691 and we will tell you honestly where you sit in the run.
We do not publish prices, and we would rather not guess over the phone. An electrician attends, looks at the actual board, the cable condition and how hard the access is, then quotes the job. The fixed price is agreed with you before any work starts, so what you approve is what you pay. If something hidden turns up once a wall or ceiling is open, we stop and requote.
The switchboard. Most of Leichhardt was built out during the Federation period, and a lot of those single-storey cottages and semis are still running boards that were only ever sized for a light circuit, a power circuit and a stove. Add a dishwasher, air conditioning, an induction cooktop and a home office and the board trips constantly. The fix is a properly sized board with RCD protection on the final subcircuits.
As a general rule, wiring and fittings inside your lot boundary are yours, and anything serving the building as a whole is common property and sits with the owners corporation. A dead power point inside your apartment is usually a lot owner job, while stairwell lighting, car park lighting, the common area board and the mains feeding the building are usually not. We attend either way and write the scope clearly.
Yes, and it is worth doing properly. An EV charger needs Type A or Type B protection depending on the unit, and a dedicated circuit with enough capacity behind it, which is where a lot of older Leichhardt boards fall short. Off-street parking here is often tight or shared, so we look at the cable route, the meter position and the board first, then quote a charger and circuit that actually suit the property.
More than swapping an appliance. An induction cooktop and a heat pump hot water unit each want their own correctly sized circuit with Type A RCD protection, and the outdoor heat pump needs a lockable isolating switch next to it. Many Leichhardt homes need the switchboard and sometimes the mains upgraded first. We assess capacity before you buy anything, so you are not stuck with equipment the house cannot run.
It changes how we do it, not whether we can. Leichhardt has conservation areas such as Albert Street and the Leichhardt Street and Stanley Street area, where face-brick frontages, decorative detail and original ceilings matter. We plan cable routes through roof spaces, floors and internal walls rather than chasing visible brickwork, keep surface conduit off street elevations, and flag anything needing Council approval before we start.
NSW rules require a working smoke alarm on every storey of a rental property. If an alarm fails, you have two business days to repair or replace it, and hard-wired alarms must be worked on by a licensed electrician. Alarms also need replacing within ten years of manufacture. We install hard-wired interconnected alarms, test what is already there, and give you documentation your managing agent can put on file.
When we are already at your Leichhardt property for a booked job, we will run a free safety check while we are there. That means a look over the switchboard, RCD testing, a check of visible wiring and accessible fittings, and a plain-English rundown of anything that concerns us. There is no charge and no obligation to book the extra work. If everything is sound, we will tell you that too.
Yes. We have been trading since 2017 under founder Spyro, we run a team of more than five licensed electricians, and we are fully insured. Every job is covered by our lifetime labour guarantee, and you receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work for the work we complete. More than 250 customers and over 7,000 projects sit behind that.
All of it. Leichhardt 2040 is core territory for us, and we work right across the Inner West, including Annandale, Lilyfield, Haberfield, Rozelle, Balmain, Petersham, Lewisham, Stanmore, Summer Hill, Camperdown, Newtown, Enmore, Dulwich Hill, Ashfield and Marrickville. If you are unsure whether your street is in our run, call 02 8999 3691 and ask.
