Electrical work in Bexley
Apexelec provides electrical services in Bexley for home repairs, renovations and property maintenance. From additional power to an EV charger, the installation is assessed against the existing board, cable access and equipment requirements.
Adding appliances with confidence
Share the model and electrical requirements of a new oven, cooktop or other fixed appliance before booking the connection. A suitable circuit, isolation arrangement and available capacity need to be assessed. Replacing the appliance does not always mean the existing wiring is suitable unchanged.
A useful starting point
Can a new appliance use the existing circuit? Send your enquiry with photos of accessible equipment, the property type and any product details. We can discuss the assessment needed to define the work.
Services to explore
Homes, strata and local businesses
For a home, describe the fault or planned improvement and which rooms or equipment are involved. For strata, include the contact authorised to arrange work and any common-property access. For a business, share equipment requirements and operating constraints.
The quote is based on your actual property and agreed work. Availability, access and any required site assessment are discussed before a booking is confirmed.
Questions about electrical work in Bexley
Can you install a new oven or cooktop in Bexley?
We can assess the electrical connection for the selected appliance. Send its model and manual, the current setup and the installation location so circuit suitability, access and any other required work can be established.
Can the new appliance use the existing circuit?
Possibly, if its requirements match a suitable existing installation. Similar size or appearance does not establish compatibility. The circuit, protection and appliance instructions need to be assessed before assuming a straightforward replacement.

Do induction cooktops always need three-phase power?
No. Connection requirements vary by model, and supply capacity and total demand also matter. Have the exact product and existing installation assessed before purchase; advice about a different cooktop may not apply.

What affects the cost of appliance electrical installation?
A like-for-like connection differs from work needing new wiring, isolation or board changes. Cable access and the product requirements affect the quote. Clarify whether cabinetry, gas disconnection or other trades must be arranged separately.
Can I supply the oven or cooktop myself?
Yes, you can request an installation assessment for supplied equipment. Provide model and installation details before booking. Suitability, required power and the physical fit should be confirmed rather than assuming installation can proceed as soon as delivery occurs.
Can a gas cooktop be replaced with induction?
The electrical work can be assessed, while gas disconnection requires the appropriate licensed trade. Coordinate the new appliance's bench opening, ventilation and power requirements. The old gas location may not have a suitable electrical supply.
Does a new appliance require a switchboard upgrade?
Not always. The installation needs assessment for protection, circuit capacity and demand. Any required board or supply work should be explained separately from the appliance connection, rather than automatically included or ruled out.
What if the new oven makes the power trip?
Stop using suspect equipment and arrange assessment. The cause may be in the appliance, connection or installation. Do not repeatedly reset protection to keep operating it; provide the model and describe when the trip happens.
Guidance: NSW electrical safety guidance
Can lighting and additional outlets be quoted with the appliance?
Yes. Send the complete kitchen plan and describe what each outlet will supply. This helps identify circuit needs and cable access together, while keeping optional improvements separate from necessary appliance connection work.
Does a replacement oven need compliance paperwork?
NSW's CCEW guidance includes like-for-like replacement of equipment such as ovens and stove tops in an electrical installation. The work requires testing and the applicable certificate. Ask for your copy and retain it with the appliance records.
