Electrician in Byron Bay
Residential, hospitality and holiday-let electrical across the shire.
Earth Electrical NSW is a licensed electrical contractor servicing Byron Bay, NSW 2481 and the surrounding shire. We handle holiday-let compliance, hospitality and retail fit-outs, lighting and residential work, scheduled around guests and trading hours. Call Matt Durkin on 0412 521 992.
We work throughout Byron Bay and the surrounding shire — homes, holiday lets, and hospitality and retail fit-outs. Byron work usually has to fit around guests or trading hours, and we schedule accordingly.
Holiday lets and short-stay properties
Short-stay properties get harder use than an owner-occupied home and carry the same smoke alarm and safety switch obligations. The practical constraint is the calendar — work has to land in a changeover window. We handle safety switch testing, smoke alarm compliance and the fast turnarounds a booked-out property demands, and document it for whoever manages the listing.
Hospitality and retail fit-outs
Cafés, restaurants and shops mean three-phase equipment, commercial kitchen connections, exit and emergency lighting, and a program that cannot overrun because a lease is already running. Where a venue is trading we do the disruptive work before open or after close so nobody loses a day's takings.
Belongil, Tallow and the coastal edge
Anywhere close to the water — Belongil, the Wreck, down towards Tallow — has the same salt corrosion problem as Lennox. Outdoor fittings, hot water units and exposed switchboards need coastal-rated hardware or they become a recurring expense rather than a one-off.
Electrical services in Byron Bay
Byron splits between two very different jobs: short-stay properties needing compliance handled fast between guests, and hospitality fit-outs where the electrical has to be finished before a venue can open.

Byron Bay questions
Can you work around guests in a Byron holiday rental?
Yes — most of our short-stay work is scheduled into changeover windows. Tell us the gap between checkout and check-in and we will tell you honestly whether the job fits it, rather than starting something we cannot finish in time.
What are the smoke alarm rules for a Byron Bay holiday let?
NSW law requires working smoke alarms in all residential rental properties, checked annually, and short-stay properties are no exception. We test, replace expired units — they expire ten years from manufacture regardless of whether they still beep — and provide documentation for your records or your managing agent.
Do you do commercial fit-outs in Byron?
Yes. Retail and hospitality fit-outs are a regular part of what we do — three-phase equipment connection, commercial kitchens, exit and emergency lighting, and data cabling, coordinated around the builder's program and the opening date.
