Homes and buildings in Waverley

Waverley proper is the strip between Bondi Junction, Bronte and Queens Park, centred on the Charing Cross shops at the junction of Bronte Road and Carrington Road. Its streets have a mix of Federation and Victorian houses, terraces and inter-war flats, with Waverley Park and Waverley Cemetery on the cliffs nearby. Like much of the Eastern Suburbs, it has a lot of older homes that have been renovated more than once, and a lot of flats that are rented.

More about electrical work in Waverley

Homes around Charing Cross are a good example of how Eastern Suburbs houses evolve: an original Federation cottage, a kitchen extension from the 1980s, a bathroom renovated in the 2000s and a deck added more recently. Each stage usually brought its own wiring, sometimes by different electricians, sometimes not by an electrician at all. When we test a home like this, we often find perfectly good modern circuits sitting alongside original cable that should have been replaced decades ago.

The flats on the streets towards Bondi Junction and Queens Park tend to have the same issue in miniature: a small board, a handful of circuits and much more demand than when they were built. Separating the kitchen onto its own circuit and adding safety switches is often all that's needed to stop nuisance tripping.

Electrical safety tips for Waverley homes

Upgrade the board before a renovation, not after.
Ask for insulation testing in older homes.
Use dedicated circuits for ovens and air conditioners.
Interconnect smoke alarms in multi-level homes.
