Residential Electrical Services in Sydney
Monaco Electrical offers a complete range of residential electrical services for Sydney homeowners, landlords and property managers. Whether you need a switchboard upgrade before selling, a safety switch installed for compliance, or EV charger fitted in your garage, we have the expertise to do it properly.
Switchboard Upgrades
Older switchboards can be a fire hazard and may not meet current NSW electrical safety standards. Monaco Electrical upgrades switchboards to modern circuit breakers with safety switches, increasing capacity and compliance.

- Three-phase switchboard installation
- Safety switch and RCD integration
- Level 2 ASP service connections
Safety Switch Installation
A safety switch (RCD) cuts power in milliseconds if it detects a fault, protecting your family from electric shock. Under NSW regulations, safety switches are required on all power and lighting circuits in new and renovated homes.
- RCD and safety switch installation
- Safety switch testing and compliance
- Switchboard RCD retrofits

- Tesla Wall Connector installation
- Type 2 AC charger installation
- Switchboard capacity assessment
- Garage and carport wiring
