Switchboard upgrades
Older homes around Boolaroo, Teralba and Toronto often still have ceramic fuses. Upgraded with RCDs on every circuit and the mains done by our Level 2 crew.

Working around the lake
Based here.Working here.
DJM is run out of Warners Bay, so Lake Macquarie is not a service area so much as the place we live. Charlestown, Cardiff, Glendale and Speers Point are minutes away. Toronto, Belmont, Valentine and Eleebana are not much further. It means a small job is easy to fit in, and it means the crew who installed your solar can call past when something plays up rather than booking you in for next month.
The lake has every kind of house: older fibro and weatherboard in Boolaroo and Teralba with original wiring, waterfront homes at Eleebana and Wangi Wangi where salt air eats outdoor fittings, and the big new estates at Cameron Park, Edgeworth and Cooranbong where we plan the electrical on the drawings. We have done a lot of all three.
- Small jobs are easy to fit in this close to home
- Boards and rewires on older lakeside homes
- Solar and batteries on new estate roofs
- Marine-grade fittings for the waterfront

What we do here
Electrical and solaracross Lake Macquarie.
Solar and batteries
Designed from your bills and your roof, which on the lake often means a battery sized for a family evening and backup for the storms.
New builds and renovations
Cameron Park, Edgeworth and Cooranbong builds planned on the drawings, renovations across the older suburbs fitted off with your builder.
EV chargers
Home chargers set up to charge off the solar, with the board checked first because a lot of lake homes need the capacity.
Lighting
LED downlight swaps, feature lighting and outdoor lighting that survives the waterfront, chosen with you and installed straight.
Commercial electrical
Charlestown and Warners Bay shops, clinics and offices, and the industrial estates at Cardiff and Glendale, staged around trading.
Local knowledge
What is different aboutLake Macquarie jobs.
Ausgrid runs the network around the lake, and as a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider we handle connections, metering and service work with them directly. A lot of the older homes here need consumer mains or a point of attachment upgraded when the board is replaced, and we do that on the same visit.
On the waterfront, salt air is the design problem. We specify marine-grade and UV-stable fittings, enclosures and solar mounting at Eleebana, Belmont, Wangi Wangi and Swansea, because cheap gear there does not last.
Lake Macquarie City Council handles approvals where they apply to larger solar and commercial work. For most residential jobs none are needed, and we tell you up front when one is.
From a Google review in Lake Macquarie
Dak and his team have provided my home with the most cost effective solution for our energy needs. Dak's knowledge of the solar systems he installs is far superior to his competitors, as was his pre-sale and post-sale customer service. We would highly recommend DJM Electrical and Solar Newcastle.

Good to know
Lake Macquariequestions,answered.
Where exactly are you based?
Warners Bay. The office team, Sian, Tanele and Lyndel, are the people who answer the phone and tell you when we are coming.
Can you come out the same day around the lake?
Sometimes, for small jobs and faults close to home. We do not promise a turnaround we cannot always meet, but being local makes it more likely than not. Ring rather than email if it is urgent.
Do you do the mains and meter as well as the board?
Yes. We are Level 2 accredited, so consumer mains, the point of attachment, the service fuse and the meter are done by our crew on the same day as the switchboard.
Is solar worth it on a lakeside roof?
Usually, and the salt air just means the mounting and fittings have to be specified properly. Dak looks at the roof, the shading and the bills and tells you honestly.
Do you work on the new estates at Cameron Park and Cooranbong?
A lot. New builds planned on the drawings, solar on new roofs, and EV charging on the three-phase supply many of the estates have.
Do you do small jobs locally?
Yes. A power point in Charlestown or a fan in Cardiff is easy to fit in. A fuse and a sensor light is a real job we have done and been reviewed on.
