Authorised consumer mains rewiring specialists across Sydney

Done Right Electrical delivers accredited Level 2 ASP consumer mains installations, underground cabling and defect clearances across Sydney.

Consumer mains are the primary electrical arteries that deliver power from the network point of common coupling to your switchboard. Many older Sydney homes still rely on 6mm or 10mm copper mains, or perilous Vulcanised Indian Rubber (VIR) cabling that crumbles under modern electrical loads. As accredited Level 2 ASP electricians, we disconnect service power at the pole or pillar. We excavate compliant trenches, pull new 16mm or 25mm XLPE copper cables, and lodge mandatory compliance certificates. Operated by DONE RIGHT ELECTRICAL SERVICES PTY LTD (ABN 32 675 365 867).

Upgrading perished cables to heavy-duty double-insulated mains

Degraded VIR cables and undersized 6mm mains pose severe fire risks and trigger distributor defect notices. We replace them with modern 16mm or 25mm XLPE copper conductors inside heavy-duty conduits Here is what shifts when a licensed Sydney electrician tests the circuit and diagnoses the root cause instead.

Done Right have just finished up after a meter-box replacement and some rewiring to replace some old-style cloth wrapped cabling. They've done a great job, were really friendly and helpful, and left everything clean and tidy. They didn't even mind our dogs "helping".

I called this service for my elderly mum. Chrys attended her home quite late at night and quickly worked out what the issue was, even lodging the fault with Endeavour Energy. Thankfully energy has been restored after they worked throughout the night! My mum was incredibly grateful for Chrys’s helpful and kind service.

I’m elderly, and desperately needed an electrician after hours to come to my home. Within a couple of hours, Chris arrived….very helpful and knowledgeable….discovered it was an Endeavour Energy problem. He contacted them for me, they responded remotely during the night, and by 9.30 am my power was restored. I cannot thank Chris enough, he was understanding and very kind to me…..and got the problem solved quickly.…

Was very satisfied with the job done! David and Luka were super nice and friendly, they finished everything quickly and gave a valid advice on the best approach for outdoor lights. The visit was booked with a very short notice, which is a great support for someone who renovates the house on my own🙂
