Overhead Electrical were absolutely fantastic - always professional, polite and managed to accomplish a really tricky re-route of some external electrical cabling that needed to be hidden within a double brick wall. I would wholeheartedly recommend these guys as the process was so smooth, and the result was fantastic. Awesome job! Can't thank you guys enough!

Ben and the team replaced our main board from the old, small asbestos one and upgraded the cabling to the attachment point to 25mm after a PV solar installation. Professional, friendly and efficient. They did a neat job and cleaned up everything after them. Good communication. Prices in line with the two other quotes we got. Recommend them.

Ben and his team were OUTSTANDING. Ben is incredibly professional, prompt and clear in communicating with clients and kept to the quote even as challenges and 'curve balls' came their way. He's supported by a great team - from other electricians who worked efficiently together - to his truly super power, Colette who manages things in the background - navigates the client and team through the process with such skill and diplomacy (I could so benefit from a Colette in my life on a regular basis!).

We had Ben and team upgrade our house to 3 phase power and do a complete switchboard upgrade. They also wired and installed an induction cooker. They were professional, punctual and did an exceptional job. We would highly recommend Overhead Electrical to anyone who needs a 'fuss free' experience.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you get to me?

Response times vary by location, but we aim to have someone on-site within 1–2 hours for most emergencies. When you call, we’ll give you a realistic ETA straight away.

Do you charge more for after-hours callouts?

After-hours, weekend and public holiday rates do apply — but we’ll always confirm pricing before we start. No surprises.

My safety switch keeps tripping. Is that an emergency?

Yes, treat it as one. A repeatedly tripping safety switch means a fault exists somewhere in your system. Running the circuit manually without fixing the cause is a fire risk.

Can you deal with my energy provider for me?

If your issue involves the network (Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy), yes — as Level 2 electricians we can communicate directly with them and coordinate the work on your behalf.

What areas do you cover?

Allambie Heights, Balgowlah, Balgowlah Heights, Belrose, Dee Why, Freshwater, Manly, Mona Vale, Narrabeen, Northern Beaches, North-Sydney, Pittwater, Seaforth, St Ives.

Do I need to be home?

For most emergency work, yes — we’ll need access to your switchboard and the affected areas. Give us a call and we can talk through your specific situation.
