Limited-time offers for homes, apartments and businesses across Burwood, Burwood Park, the Appian Way, the Burwood Road strip and the Shaftesbury Road 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. Burwood is an apartment suburb first: around two thirds of dwellings are flats or units, against roughly a fifth separate houses. Behind the towers sit Federation and Edwardian streets such as the Appian Way, built between 1903 and 1911, and we work across both.
Burwood Road and the Westfield precinct run on small business: restaurants, dessert shops, medical suites, tutoring colleges and offices above the shops. 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 Burwood, Burwood Park, the Appian Way and the Burwood Road strip. Failed switchboards, dead common-property lighting, tripping kitchen 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 Burwood 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 Burwood, from the Appian Way and Burwood Park through Fitzroy Street, Lucas Road, St Pauls Close and the Burwood Road and Shaftesbury Road strips, we get an electrician to you fast.
Two thirds of Burwood dwellings are flats, so most calls start at a shared switchboard. We trace faults across rising mains, common-property lighting and car park circuits, then write it up clearly for your strata manager.
Appian Way and Fitzroy Street homes date from the early 1900s and many still run brittle cabling on rewireable fuses. We rewire, fit a modern board with safety switches and keep the heritage fabric intact.
A restaurant trips out when the exhaust canopy and air conditioner start together. We assess the supply, split the load across dedicated circuits and install compliant lighting, power and exit signage.
Around 59 per cent of Burwood homes are rented, so alarm callouts are constant. We repair or replace hard-wired alarms inside the legal window, check one per storey and leave dated records.
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.
When something goes wrong, it goes to the front of the queue. Our electricians respond quickly and offer same-day service, so power and safety are restored without a long wait.
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 Burwood 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.

Spyro — Founder, Olympic Electrical
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.
Burwood Road and the Westfield precinct hold one of the densest restaurant strips in the Inner West, and a commercial kitchen is the hardest electrical environment we work in. Heat, grease, three-phase load and exhaust interlocks all land on the same board.
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 Burwood, because a lighting circuit in a new Burwood Road apartment and the same job in an Appian Way Federation house 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 Burwood and the Inner West.
The questions we hear most from Burwood 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 Burwood 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 Burwood jobs are the same. A power point in a new Burwood Road apartment and a rewire in a Federation house on the Appian Way 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.
Ageing switchboards in the older housing, and overloaded shared boards in the flats. Many Federation and interwar homes around Fitzroy Street and Lucas Road still run ceramic rewireable fuses with no safety switches, while walk-up blocks wired for a light and a radio now carry induction cooktops, dryers and split systems. We replace the board, test every circuit and fit RCD protection where the standard requires it.
Around two thirds of Burwood 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 Burwood that is usually an apartment basement, so owners corporation approval is normally needed first.
A load assessment against your equipment schedule first, because cooking equipment, cool rooms and the exhaust canopy together often exceed what the existing supply carries. Then dedicated circuits for the high-draw equipment, an exhaust interlock so cooking gear cannot run without extraction, sealed IP-rated fittings through the cooking zone, and compliant emergency and exit lighting. We certify the lot on completion.
It affects how, not whether. The Appian Way, Burwood Road, Fitzroy Street, Lucas Road, St Pauls Close and the Wallace and Brady Streets areas are heritage conservation areas, so we plan cable routes through roof and subfloor spaces, reuse existing chases where we can and choose fittings that suit the period. Internal rewiring and switchboard work generally proceed normally. Anything visible from the street is worth checking with Burwood Council 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 around 59 per cent of Burwood 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.
