Electrician in Sorell
After a trustworthy electrician in Sorell? HC Electrical brings expert electrical services to one of Tasmania’s most historic towns. Positioned just 25 kilometres northeast of Hobart and serving as the seat of the Sorell Council, this town was first settled in 1808 as a farming community and officially established in 1821. Originally known as the granary that fed the fledgling colony, Sorell has grown into a vibrant modern service centre for the surrounding agricultural district and a key stop on the route from Hobart to the stunning Tasman Peninsula and Port Arthur.
HC Electrical is a family-run business with comprehensive experience across Southern Tasmania, and we’re pleased to serve Sorell’s thriving community. Our qualified Master Electricians work throughout the entire town and surrounding municipality—from the impressive St George’s Anglican Church built in 1884 to the popular Sorell Fruit Farm where families pick strawberries, cherries, and stone fruits, from Sorell Plaza and Gateway Shopping Centre to Sorell School (Australia’s oldest continually operating public school established in 1821), and throughout the rolling countryside and coastal areas. Whether you’re in the historic town centre with its heritage buildings, the growing suburban areas, or anywhere across this 583 square kilometre municipality, we deliver professional electrical solutions matched to your requirements.
