Electrician Cherrybrook — Licensed, Local & Trusted

Electrical Services in Cherrybrook

Cherrybrook is one of the Hills District’s most established and prestigious suburbs — a leafy, family-oriented community of large homes, quality schools, and a strong owner-occupier base with median house prices above $2 million. Cherrybrook’s housing stock is predominantly 1980s and 1990s construction, meaning many homes have ageing switchboards and wiring that no longer meets current Australian standards — particularly before adding EV chargers, solar, or ducted air conditioning.

Saunders Electrical Group carries out all residential electrical work across Cherrybrook, including:

• Switchboard upgrades — many Cherrybrook homes built in the 1980s and 1990s have outdated switchboards with ceramic fuses or insufficient RCD protection. We replace them with modern enclosures fitted with circuit breakers and RCDs on every circuit, compliant with AS/NZS 3000:2018. Most Cherrybrook switchboard upgrades are completed in a single day. From $1,500 + GST.
• EV charger installation — dedicated Level 2 home EV charger installation for Tesla, Zappi, Wallbox, Ocular, and all major brands. We are a certified myenergi Product Champion and authorised Zappi installer. Cherrybrook’s larger homes and double garages are well-suited for EV charger installation. Free switchboard assessment with every quote. From $800 + GST.
• Renovation electrical — full electrical fit-out for kitchen and bathroom renovations, extensions, and granny flats throughout Cherrybrook. Cherrybrook’s established homes are a popular renovation target and we work alongside builders and trades regularly.

Electrical Considerations for Cherrybrook’s 1980s and 1990s Homes

The majority of Cherrybrook’s housing stock was built between 1980 and 2000 — an era when switchboards were adequate for the electrical loads of the time but were never designed for the demands of a modern home. Here’s what Cherrybrook homeowners should know:

Outdated switchboards. Many Cherrybrook homes have early circuit breaker panels with limited RCD protection — or in some older properties, ceramic fuse boards. These cannot safely support modern electrical loads including EV chargers, ducted air conditioning, induction cooktops, and solar inverters. A modern switchboard with circuit breakers and RCDs on all circuits is the required standard under AS/NZS 3000:2018.

Insufficient circuits. Homes built in the 1980s and 1990s often have fewer circuits than a modern home requires. Adding an EV charger, a second air conditioning system, or a major kitchen renovation frequently requires new circuits — and sometimes a larger switchboard enclosure to accommodate them.

No RCDs on power circuits. Homes built before the mid-1990s were not required to have residual current devices on power circuits. RCDs are the safety devices that cut power in milliseconds if someone receives an electric shock. Modern wiring rules require them, and a switchboard upgrade brings the whole installation up to current standard.

If you’re planning to add an EV charger, solar system, or undertake a significant renovation in Cherrybrook, a switchboard assessment is the right starting point. We include it free with every EV charger and renovation quote.
