Why Sawtell locals choose Swell Electrical
Quality work at a fair price, quoted before we start so you know where you stand.
You'll deal with us directly from the quote through to the finished job, and for anything that needs sorting afterwards. No dispatch system, no different face each visit. Everything licensed, insured and to Australian Standards, with the price agreed before we start.
Sawtell has its own mix of older homes, newer properties and the busy village strip along First Avenue. We take that into account when planning a job, especially when access, trading hours or keeping disruption to a minimum matters.
Common jobs we're called out for in Sawtell
LED & lighting installations
Power Points, Electrical Upgrades & Smoke Alarms
LED & lighting installations
Downlights, feature lighting and outdoor fittings to suit the house, from done-up cottages to newer places in Toormina. Renovation lighting plans or a straight LED swap.
Fan installations
Power Points, Electrical Upgrades & Smoke Alarms
LED & lighting installations
Bedrooms, living areas and verandahs. The sea breeze doesn't reach the back rooms, so a decent fan earns its keep through summer.

Power Points, Electrical Upgrades & Smoke Alarms
Older homes can have fewer power points and circuits than a modern household needs. A reno is the right time to add outlets and get smoke alarms up to compliance.

Full electrical services we provide in Sawtell
From small repairs to full installs
Beyond the jobs above, we handle switchboard upgrades, electrical inspections and fault finding, extra power points, safety switch testing, data cabling, solar electrical maintenance, testing and tagging, hot water changeovers, insurance make-safes and reports, after-hours emergency callouts and more.
Sometimes a job that starts as one thing uncovers something else. An old board that won't take another circuit, wiring that's been extended one too many times, a safety switch nobody's tested in years. We'll tell you what actually needs doing and what can wait, then quote it before we start.

Why local knowledge matters in Sawtell
Sawtell has held onto its village feel while everything around it has grown. The figs down the middle of First Avenue, beaches either side of the headland, and streets of original timber and fibro cottages that people are doing up rather than knocking down. That can mean rewiring, new circuits for extended kitchens, switchboard upgrades while the walls are open, and lighting chosen to suit the age and style of the house.
Being that close to the water, salt air is the other constant. Outdoor fittings corrode faster than they should, external power points and garden lighting need to be rated for it, and solar systems can need their wiring, isolators and connections checked for signs of corrosion or deterioration. Using gear suited to coastal conditions and keeping an eye on wear over time makes a difference.
Toormina and Boambee East next door are newer family suburbs and the work there is different again. Ceiling fans, extra power points, smoke alarm compliance, EV chargers, hot water changeovers. Boambee and Bonville too.
Need an emergency electrician in Sawtell?
Ring after hours and we'll ask a couple of questions first: is anything hot, smoking or sparking, and can you kill the power at the board. Most of the time that's enough to work out whether it can wait until morning or whether we need to head up.
If we're coming out, you'll get a real time, not a vague one. The job either gets fixed properly on the spot or made safe until it can be finished in daylight.
