Electrical Installation in Melbourne, VIC
What is included
What Is Included in Our Electrical Installation
- We start at the meter and the switchboard, to see what supply the property has and what is left.
- Where the extra load needs it, the switchboard or meter connection is upgraded before new circuits are added.
- Cable routes are planned through the roof space, the wall cavity or under the floor, avoiding existing pipes and wires.
- Cable is run, and power points, lighting and switches are installed on the new circuits.
- Appliances such as ovens and dryers are wired onto circuits set up for them in the kitchen and laundry.
- Car chargers and smart home wiring are added where wanted, each on a circuit that suits its load.
- Each new circuit is labelled at the switchboard and tested before it is switched on for use.
- Work is checked against the electrical rules that apply, and we show you what was installed and where.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Electrical Installation?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every electrical 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 electrical 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
New circuits depend on the supply behind them
Listing what you want added
Tell us what you want added, whether that is more power points, new lights, an oven circuit, a charger or a whole extension. Say which rooms and roughly where. If you have plans, mention them; if not, a description of the house will do.
Checking the supply first
Before the job is worked out, we check whether the meter and switchboard can carry the extra load. If they cannot, the upgrade is listed as its own part of the job. The rest of the quote follows the cable runs, the number of points and the circuits needed.
Wiring day and handover
The affected circuits are off while cables go in, points are fitted and the new circuits are connected at the switchboard. Each circuit is labelled and tested before it is switched on. At handover we show you the new points and the switchboard, and what each circuit feeds.
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.
