01 / The Work

Four things we do, and we do them properly.

No 24/7 promises we can't keep, no "any electrical work" laundry list. We pick our scope, we run our own jobs, and we sign off our own certificates of compliance. Same-day call-outs available across the lower North Shore most weekdays.

Switchboard Upgrades

Old ceramic fuses pulled out, modern RCDs and circuit breakers fitted, full circuit labelling. Compliant to AS/NZS 3000:2018, signed off, ready for the next forty years.

SCOPE Single-phase / 3-phase · meter coordination · main earth upgrade
Hands working inside a residential fusebox

Safety Inspections

Pre-purchase inspections, periodic testing for landlords, post-storm assessments. You get a written report, photos, and a defect list ranked by severity. Not a one-page tick sheet.

New Builds & Extensions

Rough-ins for renovations, second-storey additions, granny flats. We work in around builders, hit plasterboard dates, and come back for a tidy fit-off when the job is ready.

03 / About

I'm Tom Halden. I answer my own phone.

Halden Electrical is deliberately small. One licensed sparky. One ute. One Level 2 ticket on the wall. The work goes through me from the first quote to the final certificate.

I started Halden Electrical in 2012 after seven years on the tools with a commercial outfit in Alexandria. I went out on my own because I was sick of jobs being rushed, certificates signed off without a proper test, and customers being treated like a job number.

Now I run a small residential and light-commercial business covering Sydney's lower North Shore. I hold full Level 2 accreditation with Ausgrid, NSW electrical contractor licence, NECA membership and twenty million in public liability. Every job gets a proper Certificate of Compliance and a tidy invoice.

If I'm on a job, I send you a text. If I'm running late, I send you a text. If I'm late by more than 30 minutes without warning, the call-out is on me. No cash jobs, no shortcuts, no exceptions.

04 / Coverage

Lower North Shore, kerbside to ceiling.

We cover the suburbs we know cold. Federation terraces, post-war brick veneers, and the harbourside builds where the wiring is rarely on a drawing. If you're outside this list, ring us anyway. We may know someone closer.
