Kensington occupies an inner-east position between Randwick to the south and east, Kingsford to the southeast, Rosebery to the west and Moore Park and Centennial Park to the north. The suburb’s residential streets contain Federation homes built between 1900 and 1915 and interwar bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s. These are properties that have attracted a mix of owner-occupiers who value the suburb’s heritage character and proximity to Centennial Park, and investors who recognise the strong rental demand generated by UNSW’s large student and academic population.

The electrical infrastructure inside many of Kensington’s older properties carries the same compliance challenges found throughout inner Sydney’s Federation and interwar housing stock. Original or partially upgraded switchboards without safety switches on all circuits, ceramic fuse boxes still in service and wiring from early installations are all common findings. Monaco Electrical has upgraded switchboards in Federation homes and interwar bungalows throughout Kensington, installed EV chargers for owner-occupier homeowners with garages, run structured data cabling for the professionals and academics who have made the suburb their home, and provided strata electrical services for the apartment buildings near the UNSW precinct.

The commercial strips along Anzac Parade and the local businesses serving Kensington’s residential community require commercial electrical work from a licensed contractor. Monaco Electrical has worked with businesses in and around Kensington since 1999.

Monaco Electrical is based in Alexandria, ten minutes from Kensington, and has been delivering licensed electrical work across inner Sydney since 1999. Every job is completed by licensed electricians with a Certificate of Compliance issued for all notifiable work.
