Residential Electrical in Melbourne, VIC
What is included
What Is Included in Our Residential Electrical
- We start with the home's switchboard, to see its age, its spare ways and whether it has safety switches.
- Faulty power points, lights, switches and breakers are repaired or replaced, room by room.
- Old wiring is replaced across the whole house or just part of it.
- Switchboards are upgraded and breakers replaced where a board is old, full or tripping.
- Ceiling lights, downlights, outdoor lights and security lights are fitted, including LED replacements for older fittings.
- Ovens, dishwashers and other heavy appliances get their own circuits where the old wiring cannot carry them.
- A car charger point can be added in the garage or on the side of the house.
- We test every circuit we have worked on and tell you what we found in the house.
Why us
Why Choose Us for Residential Electrical?
Accountable for every job, long after the day
Every residential 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 residential 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
A house is wired out from the board
Telling us about the house
We answer the phone at any hour, every day, including for emergency callouts. Tell us what is happening, how old the house is, and whether you own it or rent it. For planned work, tell us which rooms are involved and what you want changed.
Working out the job
Small jobs, like a faulty outlet or a light fitting, are explained over the phone and sorted out on site. Larger ones, such as rewiring or a switchboard upgrade, need a look at the house first, because the board, the roof space and the walls decide the work. The quote follows what we find.
At the house and handover
We protect floors and furniture where we work, isolate the circuit and carry out the work. Everything we touch is tested before the power goes back on. Before we leave, we explain what was done and what we found, and 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.
