Services

Home electrical, big and small

From a single power point to a full switchboard upgrade. Every job is done by a licensed electrician, tested before we leave, and certified where the law requires it.

Switchboard upgrades

Older homes often still have ceramic fuses and no safety switches. An upgrade means a modern board, safety switches on every circuit, room for solar, batteries or an EV charger, and clear labels.

Lighting

LED downlights, wall and pendant lights, dimmers, outdoor and sensor lighting, and smart lighting like Philips Hue.

Power points and fault finding

Extra power points where you need them, USB and outdoor outlets, new circuits, and fault finding when things trip or stop working.

CCTV and security

Four-camera CCTV systems, extra cameras, and new data, TV or NBN points.

Renovations and rewiring

Wiring for kitchen and bathroom renovations and extensions, and rewires for older homes.

Underground cabling

Trenching and conduit to sheds, garages, granny flats, pools and outdoor kitchens.

Commercial and industrial

Control panels, three phase, sub-boards and switchgear for workshops, sheds and small commercial sites.

New circuits and cabling

Dedicated circuits for ovens, cooktops, split systems, hot water and EV chargers, run neatly through brick and plaster.

We also do

EV chargers

Home EV charger supply and install, or a dedicated 15 A outlet.

Smoke alarms

Hard-wired and 10-year lithium alarms, linked together, and rental checks.

Safety switches

Ceiling and exhaust fans

Ceiling fans, exhaust fans and 3-in-1 bathroom heat, fan and light units.

Split systems and hot water

How we quote a job

We look at the job

Send a photo or we come out and check what's really there: the switchboard, the wiring and the access.

You get one clear price

One written price for the whole job, parts and labour included, before any work starts.

No surprises

The price you agree to is what you pay. If we find a hidden problem, we stop, show you, and agree on it first.

Questions we
get asked

Does my switchboard need upgrading?

If you still have ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or the power trips often, it's worth a check. We'll tell you honestly if it needs doing.

Is it illegal not to have a safety switch?

Older homes don't have to add them unless certain work is done, but they save lives. New circuits and most upgrades must have one.

Can I install downlights or power points myself?

No. In Victoria all fixed electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician, and some work needs a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

Do you install EV chargers?

Yes. We check your switchboard can handle it first, then install a single phase charger or a dedicated 15 A outlet.

Can I get a price before you come out?

For most small jobs, yes. Text a photo of what you need. Bigger jobs get a free on-site quote.

Do you do small jobs?

Yes. One power point, a light swap or a smoke alarm is fine. No job is too small.

Will I get a safety certificate?

Yes. Where the law requires one, you'll get a Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) for the work.
