Northwood households near the Northwood Road shops, the River Road crossing of Gore Creek, Lloyd Rees Park on Woodford Bay and the ferry wharf can claim our latest limited-time deals. Mention this page when you phone and we will apply the saving to your quote.
Northwood is tiny and almost entirely detached. Of 289 occupied dwellings counted in 2021, 92.7 per cent were separate houses and just 1.4 per cent were flats, while 73.6 per cent had four or more bedrooms and the average home had four. The peninsula between Woodford Bay and Gore Creek holds mostly twentieth century houses in a mix of styles, many on steep river-facing blocks. We look after board upgrades, LED lighting redesigns, extra circuits for large renovations and fault finding in homes extended over several decades.
There is little commerce inside Northwood itself: the small cluster of shops and service stations on Northwood Road and River Road is the main trading spot. For those tenancies, and for home offices in the big houses behind them, we provide small commercial electrical work, lighting upgrades and fault repairs planned around opening hours.
Northwood has same-day service from our North Shore crews. Common urgent jobs on the peninsula include pool and spa circuits tripping after rain, storm-damaged lights along river-facing gardens, overloaded boards in extended family homes and a fault that leaves a lower level or boatshed-side room without power.
Northwood households are large and settled. The 2021 Census counted 3.1 people per home, 2.4 vehicles per dwelling and 93.6 per cent family households, with 87.2 per cent of homes owned outright or with a mortgage. Our clients are mostly owners reworking substantial houses: new kitchens, wine rooms, garage chargers, security lighting and home offices facing the Lane Cove River. As a local electrician in Northwood we also handle one-off repairs, including ceiling fan installs for upstairs bedrooms that trap afternoon heat.
The streets are few but the blocks are demanding. Houses off Northwood Road and Private Road step down towards the water, and some boards sit in lower garages or under stairs. If a fault leaves you without power, our same-day emergency electricians head over from nearby jobs in Greenwich, Longueville and across the North Shore.
Almost three in four Northwood dwellings have four or more bedrooms, often spread over several storeys. We add subboards, run circuits between levels and design lighting so stairs and lower rooms are properly covered.
Blocks drop towards Woodford Bay and the Lane Cove River. Pool pumps, spa heaters and garden lights need weatherproof gear, sound RCD protection and cable routes that survive wet slopes.
Northwood House, a sandstone residence by Edmund Blacket from 1878, is on the State Heritage Register. Homes near historic fabric need discreet fittings and work that keeps original stonework and joinery untouched.
Gore Creek Reserve and the river foreshore bring mature trees close to houses. After storms we repair damaged outdoor circuits, check roof-space wiring and restore power safely once branches are cleared.
We know how Northwood houses stack down the slope to Woodford Bay, with boards tucked into lower garages and cable runs spread across several levels.
One fixed written price follows our visit. A single-level home near the Northwood Road shops and a four-storey river house below it rarely need the same labour.
Pool pump trips, dead lighting circuits and burning smells from an old board all get priority, so a Northwood family is not waiting days for help.
More than 250 customers across the Lower North Shore rate our work, including owners in the handful of quiet streets between Gore Creek and the river.
Our workmanship in your Northwood home, whether a new board, garden lighting or a charger in the garage, carries a lifetime labour guarantee.
Pick a time and tell us how to reach the house. With narrow streets ending at the water, we ask about parking and stairs before we confirm your Northwood booking.
After inspecting the board, the loads and where cable can travel, we send a written fixed quote and a plain explanation of what the job involves.
Our electrician arrives within the agreed window via River Road. If the Lane Cove traffic delays us, we ring ahead with a revised time.
Drop sheets cover floors on every level, packaging and offcuts leave with us, each circuit we touched is tested and the compliance certificate is handed over.

Our story began in 2017 when Spyro took on his first jobs, and the crew is now five-plus licensed electricians covering the Lower North Shore. Northwood suits how we like to operate: few jobs are rushed, most houses are large, and owners expect careful work around finished joinery, stone and glass. From a garden lighting refresh near Lloyd Rees Park to a board replacement off Northwood Road, one electrician quotes and completes each job.

Northwood homes average four bedrooms and 2.4 vehicles, and many have pools, extensions and several living levels. Boards installed decades ago were never sized for that combined load, so board capacity is the question we deal with most in 2066.
NSW law asks for a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work after each job, and every Northwood visit gets its own. In big homes renovated in stages, the paperwork often maps how old and new wiring join, which helps whoever works there next. Whenever a board changes we apply the AS/NZS 3000 residual current rules to its final subcircuits, and we install Type A units or better, since Type AC has been off the table for new work from 1 May 2023.
Northwood quotes are always fixed and in writing, prepared after we visit. A lighting change in a single-level house near River Road can be quick. The same scope in a tall home stepping down towards Woodford Bay may involve long runs between floors, tight access under decks and extra circuits for pool gear. Seeing the house first means the figure we write is the one you pay.
Want new lighting for a river-facing garden, a bigger board for an extended home or a charger in the garage? Phone 02 8999 3691. One of our licensed electricians will look over your Northwood property, talk you through the work and commit to a figure on paper, with our lifetime labour guarantee behind it.
Families renovating on the Northwood peninsula tend to raise these points with us first. If yours is not covered here, call us on 02 8999 3691.
Often the same day. Our hours are 7am to 5:30pm on weekdays and 7am to 2pm Saturday, and we do not open on Sunday. Northwood is only minutes from our regular work in Greenwich and Lane Cove, so ringing 02 8999 3691 in the morning usually means an electrician reaches you before the afternoon is out. Tell us straight away about any burning smell or sparking.
Because Northwood houses vary so much. Extra power in a single-storey home near River Road is a very different job from the same request in a split-level house stepping down to the river, where cables cross several floors. We inspect first, then send a fixed quote in writing that covers labour, materials and the compliance certificate. It stays put unless you add to the job.
That usually points to a board working past its design. Many Northwood homes have grown by a level or two since the board went in. We measure the actual load, look for faulty appliances or damaged cable causing nuisance trips, and then advise whether a few new circuits, a subboard or a full switchboard upgrade is the right fix.
Yes. Many blocks here fall steeply to Woodford Bay or the Lane Cove River. We design step and path lights, feature lighting for trees and pool areas, and weatherproof outdoor power points, all on RCD-protected circuits. Fittings are rated for wet locations, and cable is buried or protected where it crosses garden beds and stone walls.
Not a problem, but it needs care. Northwood House on Private Road, built in 1878, is on the State Heritage Register, and older homes nearby may carry local listings. Most electrical work is internal. Where fittings would be visible or fixed to stone, we choose discreet positions and suggest confirming with Lane Cove Council first.
Stay clear of any fallen wires and keep children and pets inside. If the line from the street to your house is down, call Ausgrid on 13 13 88, and ring 000 if there is fire or sparking. Once the network side is safe, we can inspect the house wiring, outdoor lights and roof space, then repair storm damage on your side of the meter.
Yes. With 2.4 vehicles per dwelling, many Northwood households have room for more than one car. We measure spare capacity at the board, lay a dedicated feed down to the garage and mount a wall charger protected by its own RCD. If the board is already near its limit, we can set up load management so the charger backs off when the house is busy.
Regularly. River-facing rooms on the top level of a Northwood house can hold heat on summer afternoons. We fit fans with light kits or remote controls, check the ceiling has solid fixing points, and run new switching where needed. In some homes we add a fan circuit rather than overloading an existing lighting circuit. While up there, we can also swap tired smoke alarms for interconnected units.
Yes. The small group of businesses on Northwood Road and River Road, including the service stations, cafe and specialty stores nearby, need reliable lighting, power and emergency lighting. We handle maintenance, extra circuits for equipment and fault repairs, and schedule noisy work outside trading hours where possible.
All of Northwood 2066, including Northwood Road, River Road, Private Road, Kelly’s Esplanade, the ferry wharf, Lloyd Rees Park and the houses around Gore Creek Reserve. We also work regularly in Greenwich, Longueville, Lane Cove, Riverview, St Leonards, Wollstonecraft and Artarmon.
