Wetherill Park, briefly
Mostly industry
The larger part of the suburb is industrial, including part of the Smithfield-Wetherill Park Industrial Estate.
Hot streets
The hottest streets measured in Fairfield City were all in Wetherill Park, put down to hard surfaces in the industrial area and denser housing.
Houses, long held
In 2021, 88.7% of homes were separate houses and 25.8% were rented.
Endeavour Energy
Fairfield is in Endeavour's area. Outages go to 131 003.
Jobs at home
Heat drives a lot of the residential work here: a dedicated circuit for a new split system, or a board that trips when two air conditioners run together. On homes built before 2000, NSW Fair Trading recommends a licensed electrician check whether safety switches are fitted.
Jobs at work
If you run a business in the estate, look for a commercial electrician rather than a residential one. Factory fit-outs, three phase machinery and test and tag for portable equipment are specialities of their own.
If it were our house
Before summer, run every air conditioner you own at the same time for a while and see if anything trips. If it does, book that job first, ahead of the hottest week of the year. Tell us whether it's your home or your business; we'll match the right kind of licence-checked electrician if we have one nearby.
