DONE RIGHT ELECTRICAL was the BEST and AMAZING. I called today after 9am to install the ceiling fan and check the switch board, 2hrs later Chris and Luca arrived. They advised what they can do. As soon as I agreed to the price they started the work. They were both professional, efficient, friendly and did a fantastic job. They tested everything to make sure everything is working fine and they took all the rubbish, no mess at all. I will 100% recommend them to everyone I know.
We recently had the pleasure of having an amazing team come to our home to install four ceiling fans and downlights in our bedrooms, and we couldn't be more impressed with their work. David and his colleague (unfortunately, we didn’t catch his name) were both incredibly professional, friendly, and efficient. They arrived on time, worked quickly, and paid close attention to every detail, ensuring everything was installed perfectly.
Very happy with the customer service and quality of their work. They turned up on time and fully quoted in advance. It was a pleasure to do business with Chris & Luka.
Clean, friendly and respectable. Great with pets and reliably on time. They obviously take pride in there work and I appreciate the honesty and work they have performed. 1 new ceiling fan + 3 replaced and a fan light in the bathroom replaced. Replaced the circuit board on the house and brought it into the modern era with safety switches I thought we had but didn't. I will definitely use these guys again and recommend highly to any one looking for a good sparky!
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".
David & Chris were extremely professional and quick, given they came down immediately on a 40 degree day to sort out our power issues. They not only corrected the issue extremely quickly, but explained their steps and pricing (which was the fairest of 4 local quotes). In addition, they physically showed what the problem is and tested it in front of us. Brilliant service provided by the guys. I would highly recommend.
I am happy with the work completed and the total price was very reasonable. I gave them a huge list of jobs that I needed done and they smashed it out in one day. The guys were friendly and respectful, and they left the house clean when they were done. The admin side was very prompt and organised, I'll be using them again.
Timely booking process and good communication. The electrician arrived on time and did a great quality ot work and explained everything well.
We had a bathroom exhaust fan replaced. Chris was very professional and sourced and replaced the fan within a short period of time at a good price. Will be using these guys again if needed.
The job was completed well and the guys who did it were friendly helpful and skilled. Only problem was that it cost a lot more than expected.
On time, great knowledge and expertise and found ways to make the work done as affordable as possible. Also took the time to quickly check out non-related electricals to make sure everything was safe!
Chris and Luka were absolutely fantastic, and we couldn't recommend them enough. They were very professional, efficient and diligent, while showing care to explain things in detail. Thanks again Chris and Luka!
A+ service from Chris and Luca of the Done Right Electrical team, from coming out to do free quote, to giving us breathing space to explore our options to completing job; nothing but first class professionals. The boys did an amazing job of explaining our options from interest free finance, to explaining throughout the day what was being done. They were on-time, polite and did a solid clean before leaving.
The electrician were punctual, kept us informed about what they are doing, cleaned up after, took the old rangehood, explained the new one and guaranty, were friendly and kind.

Common Questions Answered
FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades
Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Balmain? Browse these frequently asked questions or reach out to our team for personalised advice. We’re here to help you make informed decisions about your property’s electrical safety and functionality.
A switchboard electrician specialises in the installation, maintenance, and upgrading of electrical switchboards – the central distribution point for electricity in your home or business. At Balmain Electrical, our qualified switchboard electricians assess your current system, identify safety concerns or capacity issues, and implement solutions like installing modern circuit breakers, safety switches (RCDs), surge protection, or completely replacing outdated switchboards to meet current Australian standards.
It’s time to consider a switchboard upgrade if you notice frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from your switchboard, burn marks on switches or outlets, or still have an old ceramic fuse box. Other indicators include a lack of safety switches (RCDs), insufficient capacity for new appliances, or if your home is over 20 years old with the original switchboard. These warning signs suggest your electrical system may be overwhelmed or outdated, potentially creating safety hazards.
Absolutely. Many older homes in Balmain and throughout Sydney’s Inner West were built when electrical demands were much lower. These properties often have outdated ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, lack crucial safety switches (RCDs), and weren’t designed to handle modern appliances like air conditioners, electric ovens, and multiple electronic devices. Upgrading your switchboard isn’t just about convenience – it’s about preventing electrical fires, ensuring proper circuit protection, and safeguarding your family against electric shock hazards.
A comprehensive switchboard upgrade typically includes replacing outdated ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers, installing safety switches (RCDs) for protection against electric shock, upgrading the main switch, adding surge protection, and ensuring proper earthing and bonding connections. We also assess your property’s current and future electrical needs to ensure adequate capacity, label all circuits clearly, and provide certification that your electrical system meets current Australian standards. Each upgrade is tailored to your specific property requirements.
To find a qualified switchboard electrician in Balmain, look for credentials like full electrical licencing, specialised experience with switchboard upgrades, and membership in professional associations. Ask about their familiarity with local building types and electrical systems common in the Inner West. Check reviews from Balmain residents, verify proper insurance coverage, and request detailed quotes that outline the scope of work. At Balmain Electrical, all our electricians meet these criteria and provide transparent, professional service for all switchboard projects.
