Electrical Installations and maintenance
Here at O’Brien Electrical Dubbo, we know that the most important part of our job is being sure all electrical equipment and systems are installed and maintained to the highest possible safety standards.
We’ve been in the business for over twenty-five years and have a combination of solid experience, as well as a keen desire to keep up to date with all the latest guidelines in electrical installation and maintenance in NSW, means you can be confident your electrical matters are in the safest possible hands.
Electrical installations
The term electrical installation covers all aspects of getting electrical equipment up and running at your home or business. Things like putting in a new fuse box, tracing cables through walls and ceilings, and fitting switches and sockets all come under the umbrella of electrical installation.
As well as the basics, you’ll find the term used for key safety elements such as your switchboard and RCD (residual current devices), which are essential for protecting your premises should there be any surge of power.
Essentials for safe electrical installation
When you’re having electrical work done, look out for the following things to be sure everything is safe and as it should be:
- Are there enough sockets? Too few sockets, or sockets in the wrong place, means unsightly wires and potentially dangerous multi-point sockets,
- Are sockets fitted with covers to stop any accidental contact between fingers and live connectors?
- Is there an RCD to prevent injury from any change in current?
- Is there effective earthing to ensure that a circuit breaker can do its job before there is a fire or injury?
- Are there enough circuits so that disruption and danger are kept to a minimum, should a fault develop?
- Do the cables chosen match with the fuse or circuit breaker to avoid any damage to the circuit?
Whatever work we’re doing for you, be it a simple new socket or a major installation in your brand new business premises, you can be sure we have your safety at the heart of everything we do.
We pay close attention to all updates to safety guidelines and renew our knowledge of best working practices regularly.

1. Can I do my own electrical work?
In short – no. DIY electrical work is both unsafe and illegal. We understand that you might want to save a bit of cash by having a go yourself, but it’s just not worth it. At best, you’ll have a costly repair job, and at worst, you could cause serious injury to people or damage to property.
2. Do you have Level 2 electricians?
We do, so if you need more complex work done, such as the installation of a 3 phase switchboard, you can be confident that our team can help.
3. How can I find out about the laws about electrical installation and maintenance?
Our team at O’Brien Dubbo are all well versed in the most up-to-date laws around electrical installation and maintenance, but you can find out more on the NSW government website.
4. How can I be sure my electrician is qualified?
A qualified electrician will have completed a four-year apprenticeship and hold a Certificate III in Electrotechnology.
5. How do I know if I need an electrician?
If you notice anything unusual about your supply – so things like odd noises, flickering lights or interruptions to supply – it’s vital you contact your electrician so they can assess the issue and act accordingly.
6. What do I do if I need an electrician out of hours?
Simply call our 24-hour emergency hotline and we’ll be with you as soon as possible.
