Our services, in detail

Switchboard upgrades

Bring an old fuse box up to modern safety standards — the foundation of a safe home.

If your home still runs on ceramic fuses or an ancient switchboard, it's not just inconvenient — it's a genuine fire and shock risk, and it can't support modern loads like induction cooktops or EV chargers. We replace outdated boards with modern switchboards fitted with safety switches (RCDs) on every circuit, surge protection, and capacity for the way you actually live. Most upgrades are done in a day, with power restored by dinner and a certificate of electrical safety in your hand.

  • Safety switches on every circuit
  • Done in a day in most homes
  • Certificate of electrical safety included
  • Ready for solar, batteries and EV chargers

EV charger installation

Home EV charging installed properly — the right circuit, the right protection, the right advice.

Charging your EV off a regular power point is slow and can overload a circuit that was never designed for it. We install dedicated home EV chargers — Tesla, Zappi, Fronius, Ocular and more — with their own circuit, proper protection, and load management so your charger doesn't trip the house when the kettle's on. We'll assess your switchboard first, tell you honestly if it needs upgrading, and size the charger to your car and your daily driving.

  • All major charger brands supplied and installed
  • Load management to protect your supply
  • Honest switchboard assessment first
  • Solar-aware charging setup available

Safety switches & smoke alarms

The two cheapest forms of insurance your home can have — installed and tested.

Safety switches cut power in a fraction of a second when someone gets a shock; smoke alarms buy your family the minutes that matter. Victorian rentals now require both — and every home should have them regardless. We install and test safety switches across all circuits, fit interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms in the right positions, and make sure everything meets current Victorian regulations. Landlords: we handle compliance checks and supply the documentation your property manager needs.

  • Full rental compliance checks for landlords
  • Interconnected photoelectric alarms
  • Testing and certification included
  • Documentation supplied for your records

Lighting design & installation

Lighting that makes your home feel bigger, warmer and cheaper to run.

Good lighting changes how a home feels — and most homes are running halogens that cost five times what they should. We design and install LED lighting throughout the house: downlights, pendants, feature lighting, outdoor and garden lighting, and smart dimming you control from your phone. We'll walk through each room with you, suggest what works where, and show you the running-cost difference before you commit.

  • LED conversions that slash running costs
  • Design advice included, not extra
  • Smart dimming and automation options
  • Outdoor, garden and security lighting

Commercial electrical

Fit-outs, maintenance and compliance for shops, cafes and offices across the inner north.

A cafe that loses power on Saturday morning loses the week's profit. We look after commercial premises across Brunswick, Fitzroy and Northcote with scheduled maintenance, test-and-tag programs, emergency lighting compliance, fit-outs and fast fault response. We work outside your trading hours wherever possible, and every job comes with the compliance documentation your insurer and landlord expect.

  • After-hours work to avoid disrupting trade
  • Test-and-tag and emergency lighting compliance
  • Scheduled maintenance plans
  • Priority fault response for existing clients

Common questions

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We're a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC) with Energy Safe Victoria, every electrician on the team is licensed, and we carry $20 million public liability insurance. Every job comes with a certificate of electrical safety.

Do I really need a switchboard upgrade?

If your home has ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or a board more than about 30 years old — yes, genuinely. It's the single biggest electrical safety improvement most homes can make, and it's usually required before adding solar, a battery or an EV charger. We'll assess yours free and tell you straight.

Can you install a charger for my specific EV?

Almost certainly. We install chargers compatible with every EV sold in Australia — Tesla, BYD, MG, Hyundai, Kia and the rest. We'll recommend a charger based on your car, your switchboard and how much you drive, not on what's sitting in the van.

Do you handle rental compliance checks?

Yes — we carry out the electrical safety checks Victorian rental laws require, including safety switch and smoke alarm compliance, and supply the documentation your property manager needs. We can put your properties on a scheduled cycle so nothing lapses.

How much does a quote cost?

Nothing. Quotes are free within our service area, in writing, and fixed — the price we quote is the price you pay unless you change the scope.
