Lighting Installation in Melbourne, VIC
What is included
What Is Included in Our Lighting Installation
- We find the lighting circuit at the switchboard and check how many fittings it can run.
- We talk through the room, what it is used for and where light is needed, before choosing fittings.
- We mark the position of each fitting on the ceiling, working around joists, ducts and existing cables.
- Furniture and floors are covered, then holes are cut and cable is run from the switch to each fitting.
- Downlights, pendants, wall lights, track lighting and LED replacements are fitted and connected.
- Outdoor, garden and security lights are fitted with weatherproof connections and cable suited to the outdoors.
- Switches and dimmers are fitted or replaced so each group of lights is controlled from where you stand.
- Every light is switched on and tested, and we show you the controls before clearing up.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Lighting Installation?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every lighting 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 lighting 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
The lighting plan is a cable plan
Describing the room
Tell us which rooms need new light, what you use each room for, and whether you want downlights, pendants, wall lights or outdoor fittings. If you have chosen fittings, send us the name or a link. We can talk through energy-efficient LED and smart options if you have not decided.
Planning positions and switching
The quote follows the layout: how many fittings, where each sits on the ceiling or wall, and which switch controls which group. A ceiling with a roof space above is simpler than one with a concrete slab above. Dimmers and smart controls are matched to the lights they will run.
Fitting day and switching on
Floors and furniture are covered and the lighting circuit is turned off. Holes are cut, cable is run to each position and the fittings are connected. Power goes back on, every light and switch is tested, and we show you how any dimmers and controls work before we clean up.
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.
