Own a waterfront block on Hudson Parade, a family house up Chisholm Road or a weekender near Taylors Point? Our Clareville deals run from Stokes Point down past the Long Beach Reserve on Delecta Avenue. Mention this Pittwater-side special on the call and the saving comes off your invoice.
Clareville is detached-house country. The 2021 Census counted 99.4 per cent separate houses, 59.7 per cent of them with four or more bedrooms, and 59.0 per cent owned outright. Land here was carved into holiday lots in the 1920s and only turned properly residential after the Second World War, so plenty of homes began as modest holiday cottages and were extended more than once. We untangle those layered wiring jobs, lift old boards to modern standards and add extra outlets where a lounge extension stole the original circuit.
Clareville has almost no shopfronts; the commercial side is the Avalon Sailing Club beside the old wharf remains, private boatsheds, and the home offices that fill a quiet waterfront suburb. We handle clubhouse and small business electrical work, outdoor lighting on slipways and circuits for workshops tucked behind the house.
Clareville gets our same-day service whether you are on the Pittwater side near Taylors Point or up toward Stokes Point. Typical urgent calls: a boatshed feed shorting after a king tide, a gum limb pulling down the lead-in to the house, or a pool pump circuit tripping the whole home.
Most people who ring us from Clareville own the house they live in, and many have held it for decades. Retirees ask for brighter LED downlights and fewer trip hazards; younger families renovating a 1950s cottage want kitchens, laundries and a second bathroom wired properly; holiday-home owners need things checked before summer, since the 2021 Census found 13.3 per cent of dwellings empty on census night. As a Clareville electrician we also get boatshed lighting and sailing gear chargers.
The tall spotted gums the area is known for bring storms into the picture, so an urgent electrical repair after a southerly is part of the job list here. We cover the lot, from the Old Wharf Reserve end to the Careel Bay side, and we drive the same peninsula roads daily across the Northern Beaches.
Many Clareville lots slope to Pittwater with a boatshed or jetty at the bottom. We run weatherproof submains, fit marine-grade outlets and put the shed on its own protected circuit away from the house.
Clareville grew as a 1920s holiday subdivision and filled in after 1945. Original cottages often carry several generations of additions, so we test each section, map the circuits and replace brittle runs.
Spotted gums and remnant eucalypts shade much of the suburb. Falling limbs damage consumer mains, gutters and outdoor lights, and we repair the private side once any network fault is cleared.
Hy Brasil at 62 Chisholm Road sits on the State Heritage Register. For listed or character homes we route new cable discreetly and keep fittings sympathetic to original joinery and ceilings.
Our licensed crew knows the Clareville pattern: a 1920s or postwar weekender, several additions since, and three generations of cable meeting in one crowded meter box by the carport.
A Hudson Parade waterfront house and a hillside home above Delecta Avenue can hide very different wiring, so each one gets its own written figure after we have seen it.
When a storm drops a branch across the service line or a boatshed circuit starts sparking, we move Clareville callers ahead of routine bookings for that day.
Clareville owners who have used us include retirees, renovating families and holiday-home owners, and most of that 250+ customer base came through neighbours along the Pittwater shore.
Labour on each circuit we install at a Clareville house, boatshed or pool enclosure is guaranteed for life, including wiring hidden in ceilings of extended weekenders.
Give us the house number and tell us if the driveway is steep, shared or gated. Many Clareville blocks fall toward the water, so we plan which van and ladders to bring.
Once we have walked through the house and opened the board, you receive a written quote with one set number, so you can weigh it up without pressure.
Our arrival window is confirmed the evening before. If Barrenjoey Road traffic in summer slows us, the office rings you with an honest updated time.
Drop sheets protect timber floors, sawdust and cable offcuts leave in our van, and the compliance paperwork plus a plain summary lands in your inbox.

Spyro started the business in 2017 and has built it into a team of more than five licensed electricians. Clareville became a regular stop because its houses reward patience: extended weekenders with mixed wiring, steep sites with boatsheds below, and owners who plan to stay for years. We add circuits for home studios, rebuild tired boards, light gardens that run down to the water and keep holiday homes safe between visits, with the same electrician seeing a job through.

The 2021 Census recorded 2.1 motor vehicles per Clareville dwelling, and 99.4 per cent of homes are separate houses where a charger can sit in a garage or carport. With much of Pittwater a long drive from a public fast charger, home charging is one of the upgrades we quote most on this peninsula.
After every Clareville job we issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work, which NSW law demands. Extended weekenders often mix old rubber cable with newer PVC, so anything we disturb is either upgraded or noted in writing. Opening or replacing a switchboard triggers the AS/NZS 3000 rule that every final subcircuit gains RCD protection, while Type AC devices have been barred from new Clareville circuits, like everywhere else in NSW, since 1 May 2023.
You receive one written number before any cable is cut. We avoid phone estimates in Clareville for good reason: new lights in a recently rebuilt house off Chisholm Road can be simple, while the same job in a waterfront weekender on Hudson Parade may mean crawling under suspended floors and working around a boatshed below. Seeing it first keeps the price honest.
Weekender board that predates the kids, a boatshed that trips in wet weather, or a charger needed for the new car? Call 02 8999 3691. A licensed electrician comes out to your Clareville home, explains what is wrong in plain terms and puts a single price in writing.
These are the questions Clareville homeowners, retirees and holiday-home owners put to us most. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Often yes. We run Monday to Friday from 7am until 5:30pm and Saturdays 7am until 2pm, with Sundays off. Phoning before mid-morning gives us the best chance of routing a van up the peninsula the same day. Faults such as scorching at a power point, a hot smell from the board or a service line brought down by a branch are placed ahead of planned work.
We never guess a figure over the phone. The same request can mean an hour in a modern rebuild or a full day in an extended 1950s weekender with crawl-space access. We inspect the property, explain the work and send one written number. That number only changes if you decide to add something while we are there.
Clareville lots were sold as holiday blocks in the 1920s, and much building followed after the Second World War. Those cottages were extended over the decades, so we regularly find three eras of cable joined in ceilings, missing earths on older sections, and a board that was never upgraded to cover the new rooms. We test each circuit, show you which parts are sound, and quote replacement for the rest.
Yes. Plenty of Clareville homes slope to Pittwater with a shed at the waterline. We lay a correctly sized submain in suitable conduit, fit weatherproof outlets and lighting, and give the shed its own RCD so a wet fault there does not black out the house. Anything over the water itself needs extra care with fixings and enclosures, and we will explain what is practical.
They do. Spotted gums and other large eucalypts cover much of Clareville, and branches regularly damage service lines, outdoor lights and garden circuits. If a line is down, stay well clear and ring Ausgrid on 13 13 88, or 000 if anything is burning. Once the network side is safe, we repair the private consumer mains, meter box and damaged wiring.
It makes sense. Houses sitting empty in salty air suffer quietly: corroded outdoor fittings, pests chewing cable and smoke alarms with flat batteries. Before summer we test the board, RCDs, alarms and exterior circuits, then send a short report. Many owners like to pair it with smoke alarm testing so the place is ready when family arrives.
Yes. Larger Clareville blocks often have pools, decks and entertaining areas added over time. We install separate circuits for pumps, heaters and spa blowers, weatherproof outlets for outdoor cooking, and garden lighting on timers. Every outdoor circuit is RCD protected, and we check that equipotential bonding around the pool is in place before the certificate is issued.
Hy Brasil on Chisholm Road is on the State Heritage Register, and some other character homes carry council controls. Internal rewiring is normally possible; the work is in keeping new conduits, meter boxes and lights discreet and avoiding damage to original fabric. For a listed property, check approvals with Northern Beaches Council first and we will work to whatever conditions apply.
We do. Around the Avalon Sailing Club and the waterfront there are clubhouses, boat storage and small workshops that need lighting, three-phase checks and outdoor power maintained in harsh salt conditions. For home businesses we also add data points and dedicated circuits for studios and offices set up in converted garages.
All of Clareville 2107, including Hudson Parade, Delecta Avenue, Chisholm Road, Clareville Beach, the Long Beach Reserve, Taylors Point, Stokes Point and the Old Wharf Reserve. We also work daily in Avalon Beach, Bilgola, Newport, Whale Beach, Palm Beach, Bayview, Church Point and Mona Vale.
