Quality electrical work for homes and businesses across Macksville and the Nambucca Valley. From older homes near the river to new builds out towards Donnellyville, we handle it all with honest pricing and workmanship you can count on.
We're a small, locally owned electrical business and Macksville is part of our regular patch. Scotty knows the area well - the older homes along River Street and Princess Street, the newer estates, and everything in between. You deal directly with your electrician from the first phone call to the finished job. No call centres, no runaround.


Ceiling fan installation for bedrooms, living rooms and covered outdoor areas. Popular through summer in the Valley. We supply and install, wired safely and balanced for quiet, efficient airflow.

Extra power points, USB outlets, smoke alarm upgrades and general electrical improvements. A lot of the older homes in Macksville are short on outlets and may need smoke alarms brought up to current NSW requirements. We sort all of that out.

Safe installation and replacement of electric ovens and cooktops. We run dedicated circuits where needed and test everything before we leave. Covers new appliances and replacements in older kitchens.

Fitting and upgrading safety switches (RCDs) to protect your home from electrical faults. Older Macksville switchboards often don't have proper safety switch protection. We check what you've got and upgrade where needed.

Home EV charger installations with a load assessment to make sure your switchboard and wiring can handle the extra demand. We install chargers suited to your vehicle and your property's existing electrical setup.
Full indoor and outdoor lighting installs - from pendant lights to security floods.
Tracking down electrical faults and checking older wiring in Macksville homes.
New outlets, replacements and general upgrades for homes that need more capacity.
Testing your safety switches to make sure they'll actually trip when it matters.
Replacing old ceramic fuse boards and outdated switchboards. Common in this area.
Ethernet and data cabling for home offices and small businesses around the Valley.
Keeping your panels clean so they actually perform. Dirt and bird droppings add up.
Portable appliance testing for workplaces, rental properties and commercial sites.
Emergency make-safe work after storms, floods or electrical damage. Common after severe weather events in the Valley.
Electrical repairs and detailed reports to support your insurance claim.
Electric hot water replacements and upgrades. We handle the electrical connection side.
After-hours emergency callouts across Macksville and the Nambucca Valley.
Macksville sits on the south bank of the Nambucca River and has been the main service town for the Valley since the 1880s. It's a town with layers. Older timber and fibro homes along River Street, Princess Street and the streets near the bridge sit alongside newer housing further out towards Warrell Creek and Donnellyville.
For electrical work, that mix of old and new means a real variety of jobs. The older homes often have original switchboards, limited circuits and wiring that hasn't been touched in decades. These properties regularly need safety switch upgrades, additional power points, smoke alarm certification and rewiring to safely run modern appliances and electric hot water systems. Newer builds tend to have more up-to-date electrical systems but still benefit from things like ceiling fans, EV charger installations, data cabling for home offices and outdoor power setups.
Since the Pacific Highway bypass opened in 2017, Macksville has been changing. More people are discovering the town, properties are being renovated, and there's a steady flow of electrical work that comes with that. Whether it's testing and tagging for a local business, an insurance make-safe after storm damage, a hot water system replacement, or a full renovation rewire, Swell Electrical Co. handles it with the same care and attention.
We also regularly work across nearby areas including Nambucca Heads, Scotts Head, Warrell Creek, Donnellyville, Newee Creek, Tewinga and the wider Nambucca Valley.
