Our Services

Complete House Rewiring

Complete house rewiring replaces all electrical wiring, the switchboard, outlets, switches, and circuits throughout your entire property with modern components meeting current safety standards. This service is essential for older homes with dangerous wiring types like fabric-insulated cables, properties where wiring has deteriorated creating fire risks, buildings requiring electrical compliance for sales or insurance, and homes undergoing major renovations. Our house rewiring experts remove all old wiring safely, install new copper cables sized appropriately for each circuit, upgrade switchboards with modern protection, add adequate circuits and outlets, and ensure everything meets AS/NZS 3000 standards. Complete rewiring eliminates electrical fire risks, provides adequate power for modern living, installs essential safety features, and delivers peace of mind.

Partial House Rewiring

A partial house rewire offers a targeted approach to electrical safety, focusing on upgrading specific zones or high-risk circuits rather than the entire property. Unlike a complete rewire—which involves a total replacement of every cable, switchboard component, and outlet throughout the home—a partial rewire is a strategic solution for localised needs. This service is ideal for homeowners undertaking specific renovations, such as a kitchen or bathroom upgrade, or for those who need to replace isolated sections of deteriorated wiring without the disruption of a full-scale overhaul. Similar to the full house rewiring, our expert electricians safely integrate new, AS/NZS 3000-compliant copper cabling into your existing infrastructure, ensuring your most-used areas are modern and safe. It provides a practical way to eliminate immediate fire risks and improve power capacity in key rooms without the time or investment required for a total system replacement.

Switchboard Upgrades and Replacements

Your switchboard distributes power throughout your property and protects circuits—it's critical for electrical safety. Old switchboards use dangerous ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, lack safety switches (RCDs) protecting against electrocution, have insufficient capacity, causing overloads, and often contain deteriorated components, creating fire risks. Our electrical contractors replace old switchboards with modern panels featuring individual circuit breakers for each circuit, RCDs on all required circuits, adequate capacity for current and future needs, proper surge protection, and clear labelling. Switchboard upgrades are essential for older properties, homes adding major appliances or circuits, properties failing electrical inspections, and anyone experiencing frequent electrical problems. Modern switchboards dramatically improve safety while supporting your actual electrical demands.

Power Points and Outlets

Modern homes and businesses need far more power points than older properties provided—today's world runs on electricity with constant device charging, multiple appliances, and equipment everywhere. We install additional power points where you actually need them based on how you use each space, upgrade old two-pin outlets to modern three-pin grounded outlets providing essential safety, add USB charging outlets for convenient device charging, install dedicated outlets for major appliances, and position everything conveniently, reducing dangerous extension cords and overloaded power boards. Power point installation is perfect for homes with insufficient outlets, offices needing more workspace power, kitchens requiring appliance outlets, and anyone tired of juggling power boards. Adequate, properly-positioned outlets mean everything plugs in safely exactly where needed.

Lighting Design and Installation

Professional lighting transforms how spaces look and function while modern installations dramatically reduce energy costs. We design lighting layouts providing adequate illumination for each room's size and purpose, install ceiling lights, wall lights, and task lighting where needed, add dimmer controls for ambiance flexibility, wire for energy-efficient LED fixtures, create separate circuits preventing overloading, and position switches conveniently. Lighting services suit homes with insufficient or poorly-positioned lights, businesses needing professional lighting for customer areas, renovations requiring new lighting plans, and anyone wanting to upgrade to energy-efficient LED throughout. Quality lighting improves safety, enhances appearance, supports activities, and with LED technology, cuts electricity costs significantly compared to old inefficient lighting.

FAQS

How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?

We recommend scheduling a professional electrical inspection at least every five years for residential properties. However, if you notice any unusual electrical behavior, such as flickering lights or tripped circuits, it's essential to have an inspection sooner. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.

How do I know if I need a full house rewire or just a switchboard upgrade?

Generally, a switchboard upgrade is often necessary if you are adding high-power appliances or if your current board is outdated (e.g., still using ceramic fuses). However, if your home has older rubber or cotton-insulated wiring, a full house rewire is the only way to ensure the entire system can safely handle modern electrical loads. Regardless, know that we always provide a thorough safety inspection to determine which solution is right for your property, so you don't have to worry about making the wrong choice. Give us a call, and we can recommend the right solution forward.

How long does a typical house rewiring project take?

For a standard three-bedroom home, a full rewire generally takes between 3 to 7 days, depending on the accessibility of the wiring and the complexity of the layout. We aim to minimise disruption and will provide a specific timeline after our initial on-site assessment.

Can I add extra power points and new lighting while my house is being rewired?

Absolutely. In fact, a rewiring project is the most cost-effective time to upgrade your home’s functionality. Since we are already accessing the wall cavities and ceiling space, adding modern LED lighting or extra power points in more convenient locations is much simpler and more affordable than doing it as a standalone job by itself. With our service, you can opt for additional power points or lighting upgrades with the house rewire, or get it as its own service by itself.

Will there be a lot of damage to my walls during the rewiring process?

Our experienced electricians use specialised tools and techniques to "fish" wires through existing wall cavities and ceiling spaces whenever possible. This minimises the need for cutting into plaster. If access is restricted and a small opening is required, we will discuss this with you beforehand to ensure you are comfortable with the plan.

Today’s homes use far more power than they did years ago. If your wiring is old, it can lead to safety risks, overloaded circuits, and power problems around the house. Our electricians in Melbourne, VIC can replace outdated wiring and update your electrical system so it runs safely and keeps up with the way you use power in your home.
