Barry from Bright Choice Electrical did an amazing job upgrading and relocating our switchboard, which was a tricky job with our existing solar and battery setup. Barry and his team were professional from the start, arrived on time, explained everything clearly and fixed an important safety issue with our old switchboard. I highly recommend Barry excellent work and great service.

Barry is knowledgeable about his work and eager to help people. He is polite and clear in communication. He helped us change the lighting in our apartment and install heated towel rails in our bathrooms. He promptly provided quotes and great warranty on items and workmanship. He was quick and efficient and cleaned up the apartment well after finishing the work. Highly recommend him!

Had the team from Bright Choice Electrical install new up and down outdoor wall lights at our place and couldn’t be happier with the result. The lights look amazing and really modernised the front of the house. They were on time, professional, and took the time to make sure everything was positioned perfectly. He even cleaned up afterwards, which is rare these days! If you’re looking for reliable Sydney electricians who takes pride in their work, highly recommend Bright Choice Electrical. The quality of work and attention to detail was spot on.

I contacted Bright Choice Electrical via email. They got back to me quickly. I sent them a photo of what needed to be fixed . Being profoundly deaf, Barry took the time to explain the process , answered all my questions and came up with solutions. He replaced my power points, light switch and made safe and blank off non compliance power point . He was very professional in his job. He did amazing work ! I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs an electrician.

We had a repair done today by Barry from Bright Choice Electrical and we would highly recommend him. With only a few days notice Barry managed to fit our job into the limited window of time we had available. The job was done efficiently at the scheduled time and afterwards all the rubbish was removed. We will certainly contact Bright for any future work.

I recently hired Barry's business Bright Choice Electrical, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, he was incredibly professional. He took the time to explain the entire process, answered all my questions, and provided a clear and transparent quote. ​The work was completed to the highest standards. Baz was meticulous, ensuring everything was up to code and perfectly installed. They even cleaned up after themselves, leaving the work areas spotless. I felt completely confident in his expertise and attention to detail. ​If you're looking for a reliable, skilled, and honest electrician, look no further than Barry and Bright Choice Electrical. He truly exceeded my expectations and an all-around "Good Bloke".

I am so happy with the set up of lights. Barry was very reliable, working around our schedule with minimal disruptions for our clients. He needed to come back as the damage on the lights was bigger that we thought and he made sure to get all the pieces for us. Good prices too!!

Common Faults

What We Get Called Out For in Mosman Homes

Mosman housing runs from Federation cottages to harbour-side apartments, and the wiring problems follow the housing. Here is what we see most as a local electrician in Mosman.

Ceramic fuses and boards with no safety switch

Older switchboards with rewireable ceramic fuses and no RCD still turn up in older homes. A fuse protects the wiring, not the person. If protection is missing, safety switch testing can find the gap.

Cloth and rubber wiring in pre-1960s homes

In homes wired before the 1960s, cotton, rubber or VIR insulation can go brittle and crumble behind switches and in ceilings. Look out for flickering lights, burning smells, warm switches or power outages for no clear reason.

Salt air on harbour-facing fittings and switchboards

Homes close to the harbour can get corrosion on outdoor lights, garden lighting, pool equipment and external switchboards. Rust, discolouration, flickering or nuisance tripping can all be signs of salt and moisture getting in.

Apartment and strata switchboards

Many Mosman apartments can have shared switchboards, locked meter rooms and strata approval to deal with. The first step is finding where the fault sits, in your unit or on common property, and who is responsible for fixing it.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About Electricians in Mosman

How much does an electrician cost in Mosman?

It depends on the job. We'll tell you the price, including any call-out fee, before any work starts. You approve it first, so there are no surprises on the bill.

Why does my safety switch keep tripping?

Your safety switch trips when it senses electricity leaking where it shouldn’t. Common causes are a faulty appliance, moisture in a circuit or damaged wiring. Unplug everything on that circuit and reset the switch. If it still trips, our electrical fault finding service can trace the problem.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade?

You may need one if your board still has ceramic fuses, doesn’t have safety switches on every circuit, or shows scorch marks or a burning smell. It’s also worth checking before you add a big load like an EV charger, an induction cooktop or ducted air conditioning. We’ll inspect your board and tell you honestly if it needs an upgrade.

Do you work on apartments and strata buildings?

Yes. We work in apartments across Mosman and the North Shore, including jobs that need meter-room access or strata approval. We can also help work out whether the problem is in your unit or on common property.

Will I get a compliance certificate?

Yes. When the job needs one, we give you a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW), as required in NSW. Keep it with your home records, as insurers and buyers may ask for it.

What are your hours?

We work Monday to Saturday, 6:30am to 6pm. We don't offer after-hours call-outs. If you leave a message or send the form outside these hours, we'll get back to you on the next working day.

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

Yes. All work is done by a licensed and insured electrician. Our contractor licence, 497337C, can be checked with NSW Fair Trading.
