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. Newtown is a terrace suburb. Semi-detached, row and terrace housing makes up around half of all dwellings, most of it Victorian, and 57.6 per cent of households rent. That combination, old wiring plus a high turnover of tenants, produces most of the work we do here.
King Street and Enmore Road form one of the densest hospitality and retail strips in Sydney, in narrow Victorian shopfronts never designed for commercial kitchens, cool rooms or a full lighting rig. We handle fit-outs, three-phase supply, extraction and refrigeration circuits, and emergency and exit lighting. We cover fit-outs, three-phase supply, data cabling, emergency and exit lighting, and maintenance planned around your trading hours.
Terraces share walls, and in Newtown they often share a wiring history too, with circuits that were split between properties decades ago and never properly separated. When something trips here it frequently is not where the customer expects, so we trace it properly instead of guessing.
At Olympic Electrical, we are proud to be the electricians Newtown 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 Newtown, from the King Street and Enmore Road strips through to Camperdown Memorial Rest Park, Newtown Station, Erskineville Road and the streets behind Australia Street, we get an electrician to you fast.
Around half of Newtown dwellings are terraces or semis, most of them Victorian. Brittle rubber and cotton cable, two-pin outlets and ceramic fuses are routine. We test each circuit, then rewire and upgrade the board without wrecking original plasterwork.
With 57.6 per cent of households renting, landlords and agents are a large part of our work here. Hard-wired smoke alarm replacement, safety switch upgrades, dead stove and hot water circuits, and the certification that has to follow.
King Street and Enmore Road run on narrow Victorian shopfronts carrying commercial kitchens and full lighting rigs. Undersized supply is the usual fault. We assess the incoming service before designing anything.
Terraces here often have circuits that were divided between neighbouring properties decades ago and never separated. When a trip happens next door rather than in your own board, we trace it properly and separate it.
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.

We’re proud to be a top-rated Sydney electrician, with 250+ happy customers and a long list of five-star reviews behind us. That reputation is built on turning up, doing the job properly and standing behind it.

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 Newtown 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.

From power points and ceiling fans to full rewires and commercial fit-outs, we handle every job with care and turn up when we say we will. Book your free quote today.
King Street and Enmore Road carry one of the densest concentrations of small bars, restaurants, cafes and live venues in Sydney, almost all of it inside narrow Victorian shopfronts. Those buildings were wired for a corner shop, not for a commercial kitchen, a cool room, a cocktail bar and a lighting rig running until midnight.
Every job we complete in Newtown is tested before we leave, and NSW requires a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work where the work calls for one. You receive a copy, which matters for landlords and agents who have to evidence it. Where a switchboard is replaced or altered, AS/NZS 3000 requires RCD protection on the final subcircuits, so an old terrace board finally gets safety switch coverage across the whole property.
We quote the job, not the hour. An electrician attends, looks at the actual board, the actual roof access and the actual cable route, then gives you a fixed price in writing before any work starts. Newtown terraces vary enormously, from an untouched Victorian with no roof space to a fully renovated three-storey, so a rate quoted over the phone would tell you nothing useful.
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 Newtown and the Inner West.
The questions we hear most from Newtown homeowners, apartment residents and strata committees. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Usually yes. We work 7am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday and 7am to 2pm Saturday, and Newtown is central to our Inner West run. Call 02 8999 3691 early and we will tell you honestly whether we can be there today or whether tomorrow morning is the realistic answer. Unsafe faults are always prioritised.
We quote the job and agree a fixed price before starting, rather than running an hourly meter. An electrician attends, inspects the board and the affected circuits, then puts the price in writing covering labour, materials and certification. Newtown terraces differ enormously in access and condition, which is exactly why we look first and quote second.
Usually not all of it. Most Newtown terraces have been partly rewired at some point, so paying to replace sound cable is money wasted. We insulation-test every circuit first and tell you which runs are fine and which have failed. The common outcome is a switchboard upgrade with RCDs plus targeted rewiring of the circuits that actually test poorly.
With 57.6 per cent of households renting, this comes up daily. Repairs to the property wiring, switchboard, hard-wired smoke alarms and fixed appliances are the landlord responsibility, and urgent electrical faults are treated as urgent repairs under NSW tenancy rules. We work directly with agents and owners, and can attend, make safe, report and quote in one visit.
Where there is somewhere safe to put one, yes. Newtown has a high proportion of households with no off-street parking and 31.1 per cent with no vehicle at all, so the first thing we do is look at where the car actually sits. If there is a garage, hardstand or rear lane space we assess the switchboard capacity and install on a dedicated circuit with Type A or Type B protection.
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do here. Narrow Victorian shopfronts carrying commercial kitchens, cool rooms and full lighting rigs are routinely limited by the incoming supply, so we assess that first. We handle three-phase distribution, kitchen and refrigeration circuits, extraction, exit and emergency lighting, and we stage the work around your trading hours.
Yes, and it is more common in Newtown than people expect. Terraces share walls, and circuits were frequently divided between neighbouring properties decades ago and never properly separated. We trace the actual circuit rather than assuming the boundary follows the title, then separate and reterminate it so each property has its own protected supply.
NSW requires at least one working smoke alarm on every storey of a rented home. Landlords must repair or replace a faulty alarm within two business days of being notified, hard-wired alarms must be worked on by a licensed electrician, and alarms must be replaced within ten years of manufacture. Given the rental share here, we do a great deal of this work.
Yes, when we are already on site for a booked job. We look over the switchboard and safety switches, test smoke alarms, and check visible wiring and any obvious hazards. You get a plain summary of what is fine, what should be watched and what needs attention, with no obligation to book any of the recommended work.
Yes. Olympic Electrical has traded since 2017 under founder Spyro, with more than five licensed electricians, over 250 customers and 7,000 plus completed projects. We carry full public liability insurance, every electrician is licensed, and our workmanship is backed by a lifetime labour guarantee. Manufacturer warranties apply to products we supply and install.
