How can we help you?
As local electricians in Balmain, we work on plenty of older terraces, cottages and renovated homes where the electrical system has grown bit by bit over the years. It’s not unusual to find old ceramic fuses sitting alongside later additions, ageing wiring behind the walls, or simply not enough power points for today’s home offices, kitchen appliances and entertainment setups. From rewiring and switchboard upgrades to lighting, extra power points, induction cooktops and EV chargers, we help bring Balmain homes up to speed.
Inner West Electrical Solutions’ electrical services are in high demand across Balmain, especially in the area’s older and renovated homes.

Flickering lights, tripping breakers, warm power points or strange buzzing noises can all point to an electrical fault. Our electricians use proper testing equipment to track down the cause, fix it properly and get your electrical system running safely again.

Not enough power points is a common issue in older Balmain homes, especially as home offices, appliances, induction cooktops and EV chargers place more demand on ageing wiring. Our electricians can add new power points and USB outlets, replace worn fittings and make sure your setup can safely handle the way you use power today.

Good lighting enhances comfort, style, and energy efficiency. We install LED downlights, feature lights, and outdoor lighting to improve visibility and create the right atmosphere throughout your home or business. If existing lights are flickering or failing, we provide fast repairs to restore proper performance.

A modern switchboard is vital for protecting your home from electrical faults. We upgrade old boards, install safety switches, and ensure your electrical system meets current AS/NZS standards. This keeps your Balmain property safe, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and supports the power demands of modern appliances.

Transform your home with smart technology that gives you complete control of lighting, power, and automation features. We install smart switches, app-controlled lighting, automation hubs, and structured smart wiring to create a more convenient, energy-efficient, and modern living environment.

Improve security and protect your property with high-quality CCTV camera systems. We design and install surveillance setups tailored to your home or business, including indoor and outdoor cameras, remote viewing, and motion detection. Our installations provide clear footage, reliable coverage, and strong peace of mind.
We’re known around Balmain for keeping our pricing fair, simple and easy to understand. Most of our electrical work is quoted at a fixed price, with materials included regardless of the location or how complex the job is, unless we let you know otherwise upfront. We’ve been doing this long enough to know what’s involved and quote the job properly from the start.
If we come across an upgrade or extra work that could be worth doing, we’ll explain why, let you know what it’ll cost and leave the choice with you. Nothing extra gets added to the bill or carried out unless you give us the go-ahead.
Once the job’s done, we’ll provide an itemised invoice along with any relevant certificates and job paperwork, so everything is properly documented. We also back our workmanship with a 12-month warranty, giving you added confidence that the job is covered well beyond the day we finish. Any materials or products we supply come with the applicable manufacturer warranty, with some covered for up to 7 years depending on the product. We’ll make sure you receive the relevant warranty details and manuals too, so you know exactly what’s covered long after the job is finished.

Modern circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs) are the usual upgrade from old ceramic fuses. They provide better protection, are easier to reset and are much better suited to the electrical demands of today’s homes.
Common warning signs include frequently tripping circuits, flickering lights, buzzing sounds, warm power points, burning smells or power cutting out unexpectedly. If something doesn’t seem right, it’s safer to have an electrician check it rather than wait for it to get worse.
If new bulbs haven’t fixed the flickering, the problem could be a loose connection, faulty switch, wiring issue or an overloaded circuit. Our electricians can test the circuit and track down what’s actually causing it.
Balmain is only around 3–5 minutes from our base, so depending on where you are and our availability, we may be able to reach you in under 30 minutes. Give us a call and we’ll let you know our expected arrival time.
