There's absolutely no pressure to proceed—we genuinely want you to make informed decisions feeling completely confident about any electrical work.

Electrical Upgrade Costs
Electrical upgrade costs vary significantly based on property size, current system condition, extent of work required, and complexity of installations. Complete house rewiring for average Melbourne homes typically ranges $8,000-$15,000+ depending on size and accessibility. Switchboard upgrades alone generally cost $1,500-$3,000. Adding circuits and power points ranges $150-$400 per outlet depending on complexity. Lighting installations vary from simple fixture replacements at $100-$200 each to comprehensive whole-home lighting designs costing thousands. During your assessment, our electrical contractors provide detailed itemised quotes explaining exactly what's included, material and labour breakdowns, any optional additions you might consider, and realistic timelines for completion. We never pressure you to proceed immediately—take time reviewing quotes, comparing options if desired, and deciding when timing and budget work for you. Quality electrical work represents significant investment, but delivers genuine safety, compliance, and peace of mind protecting your most valuable asset.
Information That Helps Us Help You
While we're happy to discuss electrical concerns regardless of how much detail you have, certain information helps us provide better guidance right from your first contact. Knowing your property's approximate age helps us anticipate likely wiring types and common issues affecting properties from that era—1960s homes typically have different electrical challenges than 1920s properties. Describing specific problems you've experienced like frequently tripping breakers, flickering lights, warm outlets, or shocks from appliances provides important safety indicators. Mentioning whether you're planning renovations, preparing for property sales, or simply concerned about safety helps us understand your timeline and priorities. If you've had electrical inspections, sharing any findings or concerns identified helps us prepare appropriately. However, don't worry if you're unsure about details—that's exactly what assessments determine, and we'll guide you through understanding your electrical system's condition regardless of your current knowledge level.

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.
