Sub Mains Installation and Repairs Sydney

Sub mains are a critical component of your property’s electrical system, distributing power from the main switchboard to various parts of your home or business. At Innogy Electrical, we specialise in the installation and repair of sub mains, ensuring that your electrical system operates efficiently and safely. Our licensed electricians in Sydney are experts in handling all aspects of sub mains work, from initial installation to ongoing maintenance and urgent repairs.

What are sub mains and why are they important?

Sub mains are the secondary electrical cables that connect your main switchboard to sub-distribution boards located in different areas of your property. These cables are essential for ensuring that power is evenly distributed throughout your building, whether it’s a large commercial space or a multi-level residential home. Properly installed sub mains ensure that your electrical devices receive the power they need without overloading the system, reducing the risk of electrical faults and ensuring consistent power supply across all areas of your property.

Common Issues with Sub Mains Systems

Over time, sub mains systems can develop issues that compromise their efficiency and safety. Here are some of the most common problems we encounter:

Overloaded Circuits: Sub mains that are not correctly sized for the electrical load can lead to overloaded circuits, increasing the risk of power outages and electrical fires.
Aging or Damaged Cables: Sub mains cables that have deteriorated due to age or physical damage can cause power disruptions or even hazardous electrical faults.
Poor Installation Practices: Sub mains that were not installed by a licensed electrician may have faults such as improper connections or insufficient insulation, leading to frequent electrical issues and safety concerns.
Insufficient Capacity: As properties expand or upgrade their electrical appliances, existing sub mains may no longer have the capacity to handle the increased load, necessitating an upgrade.
Faulty Connections: Loose or corroded connections at the sub-distribution boards can lead to inconsistent power supply and pose significant safety risks.

Why You Need a Licensed Electrician for Sub Mains Installation

Sub mains installation is a complex task that requires precise knowledge of electrical systems and strict adherence to safety standards. Only a licensed electrician is qualified to install sub mains, ensuring that your property’s electrical load is properly managed and safely distributed. Incorrect installation can lead to serious issues like power outages, electrical fires, or overloaded circuits, which not only endanger your property but also violate Sydney’s strict electrical regulations. With a licensed electrician from Innogy Electrical, you can be confident that your sub mains are installed correctly, compliant with all local standards, and optimised for your specific power needs.

Exceptional service. I can highly recommend Richard and his team. Response time to my call for help was quick, the required work was explained to me in detail, my calls were answered, they turned up when they said they would and got the job done in the specified time. I'm thankful for great service and outcome.

Thanks, Richard and the team at Innogy Electrical Services! We’re really happy with the new downlights in the master bedroom and study—both rooms are now well-lit and feel more spacious.
A big thanks to Jackson and David for starting with the master to give us a preview of how the lighting would look in the study. The team was extremely helpful in answering questions about placement and throughout the entire process, from quoting to installation.

Peg Redding

In early Jan 2025 Ausgrid advised we urgently needed a Level 2 electrician as the hook connecting the electrical cable to our home was near failing. I rang Richard at 11am & he had the job done very well with no mess by that afternoon & reasonable $$. Highly recommend, thank you 😊

I can’t recommend Innogy Electrical Services enough! Although I’m based on the Sunshine Coast, I reached out to them in Sydney for help with my smart meters and solar system. Richard was absolutely amazing over the phone—extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely interested in helping me understand my system better. He provided clear, practical advice and went above and beyond to make sure I had all the information I needed. I only wish they were closer to the Sunshine Coast so I could work with them in person! If you’re looking for exceptional electrical services with a team that truly cares, Innogy Electrical Services is the way to go.
