Most general electricians have to stop when a job reaches the network side of your property. Metric Power is an accredited Level 2 Service Provider (ASP No. AUP5767) on both Ausgrid and Essential Energy. If your new cooktop needs a switchboard upgrade, or your garden lighting runs off an ageing private pole, the same team finishes the job. Fewer calls, less coordination.
Summers here are long and sticky, and a good ceiling fan means the air con doesn’t have to work as hard. We install new fans, replace old or noisy ones, fit fans with lights, and set up wall controls, remotes or smart controllers. No wiring where you want the fan? We’ll run a new cable or extend from the nearest light point, and make sure the fixing can actually carry the fan. High or raked ceiling? We’ll tell you before the day whether you need a longer rod or a different mount. For alfresco areas and patios, we fit fans rated for outdoor use so they last in the salt air.
Old halogen downlights run hot, use a lot of power and are one of the main reasons ceiling insulation gets cut back. Swapping to LED gives you brighter, cooler light for a fraction of the running cost, and IC-4 rated fittings let the insulation go back over the top where it belongs. We handle straight changeovers, new downlight layouts for renovations, dimmable setups and colour temperature choices, so the kitchen doesn’t end up looking like a hospital corridor. For offices, shops and warehouses, we do LED panel and batten upgrades that cut lighting costs on sites where the lights are on all day.
We install electric ovens, wall ovens, freestanding cookers, ceramic and induction cooktops, and rangehoods. A plug-in oven is usually a simple swap. Most hardwired ovens and nearly all induction cooktops need their own circuit, and the cable and breaker have to match what the appliance draws. This is where a lot of kitchen upgrades stall: the old circuit is too small, or there’s no room left in the switchboard. Send us the model number before you buy and we’ll check it against your setup. Moving from gas to induction? We’ll tell you straight whether your switchboard and supply can handle it, and what’s involved if they can’t.
Good lighting is planned, not just screwed into the ceiling. We’ll walk through the space with you and work out where light is actually needed: task lighting over benches, pendants over an island, feature and wall lights, stair lights and alfresco areas. Outside, we install garden and landscape lighting, path and step lights, deck and pool area lighting, sensor and security lights, and outdoor power. Every outdoor fitting is weather-rated and on a safety switch. For commercial sites, we cover carpark, security and signage lighting.
Running powerboards off double adaptors is a common cause of overheating and tripping. We add single and double power points, USB-C outlets, weatherproof outdoor points, TV and data points, and dedicated circuits for things like a second fridge, a workshop or a home office. If you’re renovating, we’ll plan the points around where furniture and appliances will actually sit.
Bathroom, laundry and toilet exhaust fans should be ducted outside, not into the roof space, to keep moisture away from timber and insulation. We install and replace exhaust fans, add timers and humidity sensors, and connect ducted rangehoods.
NSW law requires working smoke alarms in every home, and landlords have to check them each year. We install, test and replace smoke alarms, including interconnected systems, and fit or test safety switches (RCDs) so a fault cuts the power before it can hurt anyone.
Breaker keeps tripping, a power point has gone dead, lights flicker or a switch is warm to touch? We test the circuit properly, find the cause and fix it, instead of just resetting the breaker and hoping. If the fault is on the network side of your property, we can deal with that too.
The same crew works across all five regions, so property managers and businesses with sites in more than one area deal with one team and one standard of work.
We only recommend extra work when it’s genuinely needed, and you’ll get a separate upfront price before anything starts. Common examples:

No. Ceiling fans, ovens, cooktops and downlights only need a licensed electrician. Level 2 work covers your connection to the network, like service mains, meters and private poles. Metric Power does both, so one team can handle it all.
It depends on existing wiring, ceiling height, roof access and how many fittings you need. Swapping a fan or light on an existing point is the simplest job. Send us a photo and we’ll give you an upfront price.
Yes. Most induction cooktops need their own dedicated circuit sized to the cooktop. We check your switchboard and supply first, and if there isn’t enough capacity we quote the upgrade at the same time.
Yes. Garden, path, deck, pool area and security lighting, plus outdoor power points. Fixed 240V outdoor wiring in NSW must be done by a licensed electrician, and we use weather-rated fittings on a safety switch.
Yes. In NSW, licensed electricians must issue a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work for most installation work. You’ll get yours once the job is tested and finished.
Yes. We handle maintenance, repairs and smoke alarm compliance for property managers and landlords, and lighting, power and fit-out work for offices, shops and warehouses.
Tell us what you need done and where. Add a photo if you can, it helps us give you an upfront price faster.
