Electrician in Roseville
Federation homes toward Roseville Chase, and a station precinct now zoned for mid-rise apartments.
What we actually see in Roseville
Roseville is the fourth of the Ku-ring-gai TOD rezoning centres, with the station precinct now zoned for six to twenty-four storey apartment buildings as part of the council's plan for roughly 23,200 new North Shore dwellings over the next 15 years. It's already changing the mix of work we do here — more renovation and new-build jobs close to the shops, alongside the switchboard and rewiring work in the older streets further from the station.
Roseville Chase, toward the water, copped some of the worst of the November 2019 storm damage along with Gordon and Killara — heavy tree canopy over an overhead network is a bad combination in a big wind event, and falling branches are still the leading cause of storm faults on this part of Ausgrid's network. If your power has gone out more than once after a storm, undergrounding the private service line is usually the fix that actually stops it happening again.

Roseville questions
We're near Roseville Chase and lose power in most big storms — what can actually be done?
First we check whether the fault is at the point of attachment or along the private service line — that's where falling branches usually do the damage. A repair fixes it for now; undergoing the line underground (roughly $80–$180/m) stops it recurring.
What's happening with the Roseville station rezoning, and does it affect us if we're not near it?
The rezoning itself only applies to the immediate station precinct, but it's driving more renovation and rebuild activity across the suburb as property values respond. If you're planning a renovation, it's worth getting the electrical scoped early rather than as an afterthought.
How old does a switchboard have to be before you'd recommend replacing it?
Age isn't the only factor — a lot of Roseville's original boards are 40–60 years old with no RCD protection at all, which is the real trigger for replacement, not the number on its own. We inspect and tell you plainly whether it needs doing now or can wait.
Can you install an EV charger on an older Roseville home?
Yes — we check the board's spare capacity first and quote any upgrade alongside the charger so there's one clear price, not a surprise add-on.
