Electrical Renovation in Melbourne, VIC
What is included
What Is Included in Our Electrical Renovation
- We start with the switchboard and the existing wiring, to see what the renovation can keep and what it cannot.
- Old wiring is removed and replaced, through the whole house or only in the rooms being changed.
- The switchboard is upgraded and safety switches fitted where the new layout needs more circuits or better protection.
- Power points, lights and data points are moved or added to suit the new layout, before the walls are lined.
- Kitchens and laundries get circuits for ovens, cooktops and other appliances, and bathrooms get lights and fans wired in.
- LED downlights, ceiling fans, light fittings and smart switches are fitted once the walls are painted.
- Every new circuit is tested and labelled at the switchboard, and we go through the finished work with you.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Electrical Renovation?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every renovation electrical work 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 renovation electrical work 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
Renovation wiring is done in two stages
Telling us the plan
Tell us what is being changed: which walls move, which rooms get new fittings, and whether the whole house is being rewired. If a builder or other trades are involved, give us their contact details so we can work around them. A photo of the old switchboard helps.
Marking up and the quote
The quote follows the walkthrough: which power points and lights move, which circuits are new, and what the switchboard needs. Heritage and older homes may need wiring replaced behind walls, and we say where we expect that. Walls opened up later can change the job, and we tell you when that happens.
Before the walls close, then after
In the first stage, cables and boxes go in while the walls are open, and the switchboard work is done. In the second stage, after the plaster and paint, points, switches, lights and fans are fitted. Every circuit is tested, and we go through the finished work with you.
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.
