Switchboard upgrades
The most common job in the older suburbs. RCDs on every circuit, the asbestos panel gone, and the mains and meter done by our Level 2 crew.
Newcastle electricians and solar · Lic. 354927C · Level 2 ASP AUB 6511
Electrical and solar for Newcastle homes and businesses, from the heritage streets of Cooks Hill and Hamilton to the new apartments on the harbour. Owner-quoted, Level 2 accredited, and a short drive from our base in Warners Bay.

Working across Newcastle
Newcastle has some of the oldest housing stock in the region and some of the newest. A terrace in Cooks Hill or a weatherboard in Mayfield often still has its original wiring and a ceramic fuse board. A new apartment in Wickham or Honeysuckle has a strata committee to get past before you can install a car charger. We do a lot of both.
Being this close matters more than it sounds. It is why a small job in Merewether or a fault in Lambton is easy for us to fit in, and why the crew who installed your solar can drop past when the inverter throws a fault instead of booking you in for next month.
What we do here
The most common job in the older suburbs. RCDs on every circuit, the asbestos panel gone, and the mains and meter done by our Level 2 crew.
Original cotton-and-rubber wiring replaced room by room, or planned into the renovation before the plasterboard goes up.
Designed from your bills and your roof, with the corrosion-resistant fittings that salt air near the coast demands.
Home chargers on a dedicated circuit, and apartment installs with the strata paperwork and load management handled.

Cafes, clinics, shops and workshops across the city, with work staged around trading hours.
Local knowledge
Ausgrid runs the network across Newcastle, and as a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider we deal with them directly for connections, metering and service work. If your home is in a heritage conservation area, external work like a new point of attachment or meter box can need a little more care with placement, and we have done enough of them to know what the council expects.
Closer to the coast, from Stockton round to Merewether, salt air eats cheap outdoor fittings. We specify marine-grade and UV-stable gear for outdoor lighting, meter enclosures and solar mounting, because replacing it in three years is not a saving.
Newcastle City Council handles development approvals where they apply to larger solar or commercial work. For most residential jobs none are needed, and where they are, we tell you up front.



From a Google review in Newcastle
Great team to deal with from initial contact and quoting thru to installation and post job followup. So glad we chose DJM as perfectly professional and experienced team who deliver beyond expectations. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Good to know
Yes. From Stockton and the city out to Wallsend, Fletcher and Minmi, and everything between. We are based in Warners Bay, so most of Newcastle is a short drive.
Yes, and we do it often. We survey the roof and the board, tell you what is urgent and what can wait, and rewire room by room so you can stay living in the house.
Often, with the owners corporation's approval and some load management. We assess it, give you the documentation the strata needs, and install once it is approved.
Sometimes, with the right panel layout and optimisers, and sometimes honestly not. Dak looks at the roof and the shading and tells you which, with the numbers.
Being local helps. We do not promise a turnaround we cannot always meet, but Newcastle faults are usually quick for us to get to. Ring rather than email if it is urgent.
Yes. Inspections, repairs between tenancies, smoke alarm compliance and switchboard upgrades on rental properties, with reporting the property manager can file.
