Blacktown is one of Western Sydney’s most established and fastest-growing suburbs. You have post-war homes from the 50s and 60s, large family homes on generous blocks from the 70s and 80s, and a constant stream of granny flats and extensions being added to existing properties. Each one comes with its own electrical job to be done. The vast majority of homes here are separate freestanding houses, and most are lived in by the families who own them, which means when something needs upgrading or fixing, it actually gets done properly rather than patched over.
What makes Blacktown different from a lot of Sydney suburbs is the sheer size and diversity of the people here. The number of private dwellings has grown by 30 per cent in just five years, and the suburb draws in a large mix of young families, long-term homeowners and a growing number of investors adding secondary dwellings to their blocks. That mix means the electrical work here is rarely one-size-fits-all. Older homes need bringing up to standard, growing families need more circuits and power, and new builds on existing blocks need full fit-outs from scratch. GlobileNet handles all of this across the suburb. Licensed, insured and easy to deal with.
A lot of homes in Blacktown are still running on switchboards that were installed decades ago and were never built for what we plug in today. Air conditioning, multiple fridges, home offices and entertainment setups all draw power that the original board simply was not designed to handle. Many of these homes are also missing safety switches altogether. We come out, have a look at what is there and sort out what needs to be fixed. We handle switchboard upgrades, RCDs and surge arresters, and all work is done to the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules so you know it is all done properly.
