Electrician in McMahons Point
Switchboards, fault finding and EV chargers for McMahons Point's harbourside apartments, tucked between Blues Point Reserve and North Sydney.
What we actually see in McMahons Point
McMahons Point is a quiet, mostly-apartment pocket wedged between Blues Point Reserve and the McMahons Point ferry wharf — low and mid-rise strata blocks close together on streets that step steeply down to the water.
Salt air off the harbour and the steep, often-shaded aspect of these buildings means switchboards and exterior lighting age faster than you'd expect. We regularly find corrosion on terminals and enclosures that are only 10–15 years old.
Charging safety for e-bikes and scooters comes up a lot in a suburb this dense — Fire & Rescue NSW is now attending roughly six lithium-ion battery fires a week across Sydney, and shared basement car parks and corridors are exactly the kind of space where that risk shows up.

McMahons Point questions
Is it safe to charge my e-bike or scooter in my McMahons Point apartment?
With some precautions, yes: don't charge overnight unattended, keep the charger and battery clear of exits and corridors, use the charger supplied with the battery, and make sure the circuit has working safety switch protection. A dedicated outlet is worth it if you charge regularly.
Why does our switchboard keep corroding — it's not that old?
Salt air off the harbour affects McMahons Point more than most inland suburbs, and shaded, exposed positions make it worse. We see genuine corrosion on boards and outdoor fittings as young as 10–15 years old here.
Who pays for a switchboard fault in our McMahons Point unit — us or strata?
The sub-board inside your lot is your responsibility; the meter room and mains supply are the owners corporation's. We can tell you which applies before you contact strata.
Can strata block an EV charger installation in McMahons Point?
Not easily — EV charging is sustainability infrastructure under NSW strata law, requiring only a simple-majority vote, with aesthetic-only refusals banned since 1 July 2025. Expect $2,500–$6,000 for a strata install, as a guide.
