Appliance Installation in Melbourne, VIC
What is included
What Is Included in Our Appliance Installation
- We check at the switchboard that the circuit, breaker and cable suit the appliance's rating.
- We read the appliance's installation instructions for its connection, clearances and cutout sizes.
- Where the old circuit is too small or shared, a new circuit is run from the switchboard.
- The power is isolated, and the old appliance is disconnected and, if you ask, taken away.
- Ovens and cooktops are wired to a connection unit, and rangehoods to a power point or a fixed connection.
- Dishwashers, washing machines and dryers are connected to a power point or fixed connection behind or beside them.
- The appliance is fixed in its space, then switched on and run through a cycle to check it works.
- We show you the isolating switch and the breaker for the appliance, then clear away our offcuts and packaging.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Appliance Installation?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every appliance installation job is done by the people who will still be here next year.
Tested and signed off before we leave
Everything we touch on your appliance installation is tested before we go, you get walked through exactly what was done.
Local electricians, not a call centre
An electrician answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
Most appliance jobs are really circuit jobs
Naming the appliances
Tell us which appliances are going in and which are coming out: the make and model of the oven, cooktop, rangehood, dishwasher or dryer. Say if it is a swap or a first-time fit. If you have the installation sheet, send it.
Matching circuit to appliance
An induction cooktop or large oven can need its own circuit, and that is worked out from the appliance's rating. The quote covers the connection, plus any new circuit or switchboard work the old setup cannot do without. Cutout sizes and positions come from the appliance's own instructions.
Fitting day and first run
Power is isolated and the old appliance is disconnected, and taken away if you asked. Any new circuit is run from the switchboard, and the new appliance is connected and fixed in its space. We switch it on and run it through a cycle, then show you the switch and breaker that control it.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What electrical services do you provide?
We do domestic and commercial electrical work. That covers repairs, circuit breaker replacement, switches, outlets, lighting, appliance installation, switchboard upgrades, safety inspections, car chargers, renovations and new builds. The services page lists each one.
What happens when I call?
You describe what is going on: which room, what the power was doing, and whether a breaker has tripped. We ask a few questions and tell you what we think it is and what the next step is. If it is urgent, we say so and deal with that first.
Do you do emergency callouts at any hour?
Yes. We answer the phone at any hour, every day, and emergency callouts run at any hour too. If something smells hot, a switch is sparking or the power will not come back, call rather than send a message.
Do you handle new builds and renovations?
Yes. For a new build we work through the electrical from the switchboard out, including power points, lighting and cabling for appliances, data and security. For a renovation we work around what is already in the walls, and we coordinate with the builder where there is one.
Can you upgrade the switchboard in my older home?
Yes. Older switchboards often struggle with the load of modern appliances and can be a safety risk. We open the board, look at what is there and tell you what needs replacing, whether that is a few breakers or the whole board.
How often should I have an electrical inspection?
About every 5 years for a standard home. Have one sooner when you are buying a property, when the home has outdated wiring, or when breakers trip often. We check the wiring, the switchboard and the circuit breakers, and you get a plain report with recommendations.
Can you install an electric car charger?
Yes. We start with a consultation on your property's electrical system to decide where the charger should go and what suits your car. If the switchboard or wiring needs work to carry it, we do that as part of the job, then test the charger and show you how it works.
Do you install and replace lights?
Yes, inside and out. That includes downlights, pendants, wall lights, LED upgrades, and outdoor and garden lighting. We can also fit switches and dimmers to go with them.
Can you add or replace outlets and switches?
Yes. We fit new outlets where you need them, swap worn or faulty ones, and replace switches. If an outlet keeps failing, we check the circuit behind it rather than just changing the faceplate.
Do you connect ovens, dishwashers and other appliances?
Yes. That includes ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers. Some need their own circuit or a hardwired connection, and we set that up and test it. We can take the old appliance away on request.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Photos help. A shot of the switchboard with the cover open (only if you can do it safely), the faulty fitting, or the room where you want the work done. Add a line on what happened just before it stopped.
Which areas do you cover, and what if my suburb is not listed?
We work across Melbourne and the surrounding areas: the south-east, Casey and Cardinia, plus Box Hill, Hampton and South Yarra. The service areas page lists the places we work most often. If yours is not there, call and tell us the suburb, because the list is not a boundary.
