Electrical, audio-visual & home theatre, security systems, and Wi‑Fi & network upgrades — one licensed team based in Wilton.

Why it matters

One licensed team — multiple skill sets.

No more chasing down four or five different tradesmen for one job — four or five different quotes, four or five different call-backs when something doesn't quite line up. One licensed team turns up knowing the whole property: electrical, AV, security, network. One number saved in your phone. One crew who already know your home, instead of starting the story over with someone new every time.

Wollondilly Wilton to Yerranderie — 0–60km, our home turf
34 suburbs

Home base, and home to acreage blocks that big telcos never quite reach properly. If anyone's Wi‑Fi should be dialled in, it's our own backyard's.

Appin~8km

A mix of established rural blocks and new estate growth, which means two very different network problems — we handle both.

Acreage and horse properties where a single router in the hallway was never going to cover the shed, stables and the back paddock.

Growing fast with young families — usually means a house full of devices and a Wi‑Fi plan that hasn't kept up.

Picton~9km

Heritage streetscape, heritage electrical — network upgrades here need a bit more care around old walls and older wiring.

Bushland blocks and quiet streets, where reliable connectivity matters even more because there's no popping down the road for signal.

Bargo~9km

Semi-rural and spread out — mesh Wi‑Fi and outdoor access points do a lot of the heavy lifting here.

Buxton~13km

Bushfire-prone country living, which is exactly where a properly wired security and camera system earns its keep.

Genuinely rural — often the toughest test for internet reliability, and one of our favourite problems to solve.

Oakdale~18km

Large lifestyle blocks that need serious coverage from the house to the machinery shed.

Historic village character alongside new residential release land — we service both eras of housing stock.

Small rural pocket near Cobbitty — acreage blocks that need outdoor-rated Wi‑Fi to reach the back shed.

Rolling farmland on Camden's fringe — properties spread wide enough that one router was never going to cut it.

Historic homestead country meets modern acreage — cabling here gets planned around what's heritage-listed and what isn't.

Quiet bushland bordering the dam and reservoir — a great candidate for a proper mesh redesign over patchy coverage.

Cawdor~24km

Rural-residential blocks on Camden's western edge, similar acreage challenges to home turf back in Wollondilly.

Small and semi-rural — the kind of place where a stronger access point fixes more than people expect.

Escarpment bushland on the Illawarra fringe, where terrain does as much damage to signal as distance does.

Lifestyle acreage near Camden — big blocks, big sheds, and Wi‑Fi that needs to reach both.

Rural pocket near The Oaks — properties spaced out enough that a single router barely covers the driveway.

Maldon~10km

Small village next to Picton, with the same heritage-wiring considerations that come with older housing stock.

High rural land west of Camden — elevation helps signal in some spots and hurts it in others; we work out which.

Rural-residential blocks between Picton and The Oaks — mesh Wi‑Fi usually transforms these properties.

Nattai~29km

Remote acreage on the edge of the wilderness area — if anywhere needs a properly engineered connection, it's out here.

Farmland and lifestyle blocks near Werombi — the kind of spread-out property mesh Wi‑Fi was made for.

Rural pocket along the Hume corridor — close enough for a quick call-out, remote enough to need proper outdoor coverage.

Elevated rural land between Picton and Camden — a good outdoor access point does a lot of work up here.

Bushland-fringe acreage near Warragamba — properties where a dropped connection really is a dropped connection.

Rural-residential blocks near Cawdor — similar acreage challenges to the rest of Wollondilly's western edge.

Riverside village on the Nepean, semi-rural blocks that need outdoor Wi‑Fi to reach the water's edge.

Dam-side town with its own tight-knit feel — network and security jobs here are usually about tidying up an older setup.

Werombi~27km

Farmland west of Camden — genuinely rural, and one of the further edges of our on-site radius.

Small village next to Bargo — the same semi-rural mesh Wi‑Fi approach applies here too.

A historic former mining village deep in the wilderness — about as remote as our service area gets, and we'll still take the call.

Southern Highlands Mittagong to Marulan — 20–75km from Wilton
45 suburbs

Cooler climate, older homes, and often thicker walls than the suburbs — all things that trip up a stock-standard router.

Bowral~30km

Grand country properties and a discerning clientele — exactly the kind of job where a quiet, tidy, well-managed install matters.

Rail-town roots with a growing population — network demand here has outpaced what the older infrastructure was built for.

Berrima~28km

Sandstone heritage village — the kind of property where cabling has to be planned around what you're not allowed to touch.

Bushland fringe town where a dropped connection can mean genuinely being cut off — reliability isn't optional out here.

Dairy country and acreage on the edge of the escarpment — big properties need serious outdoor Wi‑Fi coverage.

Smaller village, larger blocks — a straightforward mesh upgrade usually transforms these properties.

Semi-rural transition zone between Wollondilly and the Highlands proper — right in our comfort zone.

Grand rural estates and weekenders, often needing security and connectivity that works whether the owners are home or not.

Exeter~38km

Quiet, tucked-away Highlands village — the kind of place where a decent internet connection is genuinely hard to come by without proper design.

Alpine~32km

Small rural locality near Mittagong — acreage blocks where outdoor access points do most of the work.

Quiet village on Mittagong's edge — older homes that usually need a proper rewire, not just a new router.

Avoca~30km

Rural pocket near Yerrinbool — spread-out blocks that need mesh coverage from the house to the shed.

Small Highlands locality where a stronger outdoor access point fixes most of the dead-spot complaints.

Small village near Mittagong — heritage-era homes with the wiring quirks that come with them.

Rural forest-fringe land south of Berrima — properties here need a properly engineered outdoor connection to hold a signal at all.

Braemar~27km

Rural-residential blocks near Mittagong, home to some grand estates that need a network as considered as the build.

Bullio~40km

Remote farmland toward Wombeyan Caves Road — genuinely off the beaten track, and one of the further edges of our range.

Grand Highlands properties next to Bowral — exactly the kind of job where a quiet, tidy, well-managed install matters.

Dairy-country village on the escarpment edge — big rural blocks need serious outdoor Wi‑Fi coverage.

Rural acreage west of the Highlands — properties spread wide enough that a single router never had a chance.

Dairy country neighbouring Kangaloon — the same big-property coverage challenge as the rest of the escarpment fringe.

Waterfall and national-park-fringe country — about as remote as it gets, and reliability matters even more out here.

Rural-residential land near Burradoo — acreage blocks that need coverage well past the house.

Rural transition zone near Hill Top — semi-rural properties in our comfort zone for mesh upgrades.

Joadja~35km

Historic ghost-town country west of Berrima — remote, heritage, and a genuinely interesting job when we get the call.

Dairy and water-catchment country on the escarpment — big properties, bigger coverage gaps without the right gear.

Small rural crossroads locality — the kind of spread-out property that benefits most from an outdoor access point.

Rural land near Sutton Forest — weekenders and estates that need connectivity whether the owners are home or not.

Medway~30km

Rural-residential blocks near Berrima — heritage-adjacent properties with the same careful-cabling approach.

Meryla~45km

Remote forest-fringe locality near Bundanoon — genuinely rural, and one of our favourite problems to solve.

Rural land toward Kangaroo Valley Road — big blocks on the Highlands' southern edge.

Small heritage-adjacent locality next to Berrima — the same sandstone-and-cabling considerations apply.

Rural locality near Robertson — dairy country where outdoor Wi‑Fi coverage is the whole ball game.

Penrose~42km

Forestry country near Wingello — remote rural blocks toward the edge of our service radius.

Renwick~26km

Small village near Mittagong — a straightforward mesh upgrade usually transforms these older-stock homes.

Small rural locality in the Highlands — the same spread-out coverage challenge as its neighbours.

Welby~25km

Small village between Mittagong and Bowral — older homes, the same thicker-walls problem as the rest of the Highlands.

Werai~44km

Remote rural locality toward the Highlands' southern edge — about as far as we go, and we'll still take the call.

Escarpment-fringe village toward Kangaroo Valley — reliability isn't optional when you're this close to the edge.

Rural pocket near Sutton Forest — grand rural estates and weekenders needing security and connectivity in equal measure.

Small forestry town on the Highlands' southern edge — remote, quiet, and within reach for the right job.

Rural-residential locality near Sutton Forest — big blocks, the same big-property approach.

Bushland village near Mittagong — smaller lots than the rural properties, but the same dead-spot problems indoors.

Marulan~75km

Working town on the Hume Highway south of the Highlands proper — the same acreage and connectivity challenges as the rest of our rural service area. For the right job, we'll happily make the drive.

The Coal Coast Helensburgh to Bulli — 40–55km from Wilton
9 suburbs

Tucked in the escarpment on the Sydney side, where terrain plays havoc with signal — mesh and access points do the real work.

Cliffside and beachside living right at the northern end of the Sea Cliff Bridge — holiday homes and weekenders that need reliable Wi‑Fi and security whether anyone's actually there.

A handful of homes clinging to the cliff edge at the start of the scenic drive — connectivity here needs to be properly engineered for the terrain, not guesswork.

Clifftop houses with some of the best ocean views on the coast — and walls and terrain that can make a standard router look pretty average.

Small escarpment village between the cliffs and the rail line — mesh coverage that reaches every level of a steep block.

Beachside village with a growing number of renovated homes and short-stay properties — exactly where a proper network and security upgrade pays for itself.

Escarpment-and-coast living on the Sea Cliff Bridge scenic drive — older beachside homes and holiday/short-stay properties that need reliable Wi‑Fi and security whether the owners are on-site or not.

The biggest village on this stretch of coast — a mix of older beach cottages and newer builds, all needing connectivity that actually holds up against the salt air.

Bulli~52km

Escarpment views and older housing stock — a great candidate for a proper mesh redesign.

Illawarra & Wollongong Dapto to Kiama — 35–55km from Wilton
9 suburbs

City-meets-coast density, with older apartment and terrace stock that often needs a proper network rethink, not just a new router.

Dapto~35km

Fast-growing residential area at the base of the escarpment — a strong network backbone matters as new estates fill in.

Airport nearby, growth all around — homes here are increasingly running smart-home and security systems worth doing properly.

Coastal living where salt air is tough on outdoor equipment — we spec gear that's built for it.

Kiama~55km

Blowhole crowds and a booming short-stay market — exactly where reliable networks and security earn their keep.

Figtree~42km

Established leafy suburb at the escarpment's foot, where thick brick homes are notorious for Wi‑Fi dead spots.

Beachside suburb with a strong village feel — network jobs here are often about tidying up years of ad-hoc extensions.

Lakeside suburb with a mix of retirees and young families — two very different sets of tech needs, one visit.

Newer master-planned marina community — modern builds with smart-home and security systems worth setting up properly from day one, plus a lot of short-stay rentals that need reliable Wi‑Fi whether the owners are on-site or not.

Also servicing Sydney and Greater Sydney — not every suburb has its own listing yet, but if you're anywhere across the metro area, get in touch and we'll scope it honestly. For internet plans and ongoing managed network solutions across this same region, that's Better Net.

How we work

Five steps, no surprises

From the first call to the final hand-over — licensed work, explained clearly, backed by real warranty.

01

Site visit

In person, or by video call where that works — whatever saves us both time. We look at the property, existing wiring or coverage, and what you're trying to fix or achieve.

02

Quote prepared

A clear scope and price before anything is scheduled — no surprises on invoice day.

03

Install

Licensed, tidy work — electrical, AV, security or network — done by the person who quoted it.

04

Test & hand over

Everything tested on site and handed over properly, explained before we leave — not left for you to figure out.

05

Backed by warranty

Residential work is backed by the statutory warranties under the NSW Home Building Act — six years on major defects, two years on other defects — plus the manufacturer's warranty on any equipment we supply.

Note: warranty terms depend on the job — we'll walk you through exactly what's covered before we leave.

Who you're actually calling

Shane Hood — 25+ years in the trade

I'm Shane, director of Hood Electrical. When you call, you get me — not a call centre, not a rotating cast of subcontractors. What started as an electrical trade business over 25 years ago has grown into a full connected-property service — electrical, AV, security and network — because that's what clients kept asking for. I still turn up to the sites, still quote the jobs, and still stand behind everything we install.

For internet plans and ongoing network management solutions specifically, that side of the business now runs under Better Net.
