Electrician in Hornsby
Hornsby Shire's commuter hub — a station precinct in transition, and a wider mix of housing eras than anywhere else on our North Shore patch.
What we actually see in Hornsby
Hornsby sits in Hornsby Shire rather than Ku-ring-gai, and it shows in the housing stock. Alongside older Federation and inter-war pockets you get a lot more 1970s through 1990s brick veneer and villa-style development than in the suburbs further south — which means the electrical issues we see are more mixed too: original switchboards in the older homes, and ageing but code-compliant boards with too few spare circuits in the newer ones.
As the shire's commuter and retail hub, Hornsby also has more unit blocks and strata properties than most of its neighbours, and we do a fair amount of strata common-property work here — switchboard and metering upgrades, and testing and tagging for building common areas — on top of the usual residential callouts.

Hornsby questions
Do you work with strata managers on Hornsby unit blocks?
Yes, regularly. We can quote and liaise directly with the strata manager for common-property work — switchboard and metering upgrades, common-area lighting, test and tag — so owners don't have to be the go-between.
Our board is a 1980s circuit-breaker type — does it still need upgrading?
If it has no residual current device (safety switch) on the circuits, yes — it's common in Hornsby's 1970s–90s stock and it's the main gap we find. A standard upgrade runs $1,500–$3,500.
Can we get an EV charger installed at a townhouse or villa?
Usually yes, though shared driveways and metering sometimes need a bit more planning than a standalone house. We check supply capacity and any strata approval needed before quoting.

Reliable and quality service.
Super happy with Cync Electrical. Jason was professional and honest, diagnosed the issue fast and got it sorted without any fuss. My C-Bus system is working perfectly again.
He was a very kind and pleasant person. He fixed the internet issue very quickly, and didn't leave any mess behind. He will definitely be the first person I call for any electrical problem.
