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. Willoughby is a detached-house suburb on the lower North Shore: 56.5 per cent separate houses, mostly Federation and Californian bungalow stock on generous blocks, with 31.7 per cent flats alongside. Two thirds of homes are owner-occupied, and a lot of them are being renovated and extended rather than sold.
Small shop groupings on High Street, Penshurst Street, Willoughby Road and Mowbray Road serve the suburb day to day, with Chatswood next door for everything larger. The former Nine Network site on the Artarmon Road side is being redeveloped as apartments. 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 Willoughby, High Street, Penshurst Street, Mowbray Road and the Flat Rock Gully side. Failed switchboards, dead outdoor and garden lighting, tripping circuits mid-renovation 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 Willoughby 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 lower North Shore, for every job big and small.
We are just a call away – wherever you are in Willoughby, from the High Street shops and Willoughby Park through Penshurst Street, Willoughby Road, Mowbray Road, Small Street, Warrane Road and the Flat Rock Gully side, we get an electrician to you fast.
Willoughby is 56.5 per cent detached, mostly Federation and Californian bungalow, and two thirds owner-occupied. Most of our work here is adding circuits, lighting and board capacity to a house being extended rather than replaced.
Council recommends new or substantially altered free-standing dwellings provide at least a 40 amp single-phase dedicated circuit to the garage. We install that properly, or make the house ready for it during a renovation.
Parts of the suburb sit in a heritage conservation area and Willoughby has State-listed items including the Walter Burley Griffin incinerator. We keep new cable off street-facing elevations and out of original fabric.
Around 31 per cent of Willoughby 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.

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 Willoughby and the lower North Shore 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.

Willoughby homes tend to get extended rather than sold. Two thirds are owner-occupied, median household income is well above the state figure, and the housing is Federation and Californian bungalow on generous blocks, which is exactly the stock people open up at the back. The electrical side of that work is usually bigger than the plans suggest.
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 Willoughby, because a lighting circuit in a renovated Californian bungalow off Penshurst Street and the same job in a flat near Mowbray Road 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 Willoughby and the lower North Shore.
The questions we hear most from Willoughby 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 Willoughby 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 Willoughby jobs are the same. A power point in a flat near Mowbray Road and a rewire in a Californian bungalow being extended off Penshurst Street 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.
Boards that were never upgraded to match what the house became. The stock here is largely Federation and Californian bungalow, extended and renovated over decades, so we routinely find a modern kitchen and a ducted system running off circuits and a board that predate both. We assess the supply, replace the board, test every circuit and fit RCD protection where the standard requires it.
Earlier than most people think. Once the layout is settled but before the frame closes up, we can work out board capacity, position the new subboard, set out lighting and power properly, and run garage and cooling circuits while the walls are open. Bringing us in at lock-up means surface conduit, extra patching and compromises on where things end up.
Yes, and most homes here have a garage or carport to put one in. Willoughby City Council recommends at least a 40 amp single-phase dedicated circuit to the garage in new and substantially altered free-standing dwellings, which is a sensible target even outside a renovation. Type AC safety switches have not been allowed in new electrical work since 1 May 2023, so the charger gets Type A or Type B protection depending on the unit.
It affects how, not whether. Willoughby City Council administers a number of heritage conservation areas across the local government area, and the suburb also has State-listed items including the Walter Burley Griffin incinerator on Small Street. Internal rewiring and switchboard work generally proceed normally. We plan routes so nothing new is surface-mounted on a street-facing elevation, and anything visible externally is worth checking with council first.
Yes, and it is common here given the block sizes and the bushland edge along Flat Rock Gully. Outdoor circuits need correctly rated sealed fittings, RCD protection and isolators you can actually reach, and pool or spa equipment needs dedicated protected circuits with correct bonding. We set the runs out during a renovation where we can, because retrofitting through established gardens is the expensive way to do 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 around 31 per cent of Willoughby homes rented we do this work regularly, 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.
Willoughby 2068 is core territory for us, including the High Street shops, Penshurst Street, Willoughby Road, Mowbray Road, Small Street, Warrane Road, Willoughby Park and the Flat Rock Gully side. We also cover North Willoughby, Naremburn, Artarmon, Chatswood, Castlecrag, Castle Cove, Middle Cove, Northbridge, Cammeray, Crows Nest, St Leonards, Lane Cove, Riverview, Wollstonecraft and Cremorne.
