Keep Your Home Safe and Properly Powered
We all have a lot more plugged in at home than we used to. That means you run out of powerpoints, older switchboards start tripping under the extra load, and things around the house end up needing an update.
We have been working on homes across Melbourne's eastern suburbs for over 15 years, making them safer and easier to live in. That covers powerpoints, switchboard upgrades, security cameras and smoke alarms.

Great service, happy to recommend. We booked a time to investigate a known problem in an old house. Sam turned up on time, very courteous. Found the problem source the previous electricians couldn't be bothered to fix and replaced the old wiring making the place safe. Updated the old switchboard, replaced the old smoke alarm. Left the place neat and tidy. Then....our neighbour had an intermittent problem for some time and asked Sam if he could book time to check it out. Sam checked it out while with us, found a dangerous short happening in an unusual location, made it safe and booked a time to come and repair the issue properly. Both very happy with obliging, safety focused service.

Had issues at my home where the power kept shorting out, two electricians came over and couldn’t work out was going on. Sam diagnosed the issue and fixed everything up in under an hour. Super impressed, very reasonably priced, highly recommended A++++

Sam replaced my porch light sensor and upgraded all the necessary safety switches on my switchboard. He was excellent with communication, punctuality, cleanliness and costs. I am very happy to have found a reliable and excellent electrician! Thanks Sam

Home Electrical Questions
Common signs are rewirable ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, no safety switches, breakers that trip regularly, or simply no spare room on the board. It also comes up when you add something substantial like an EV charger, an induction cooktop or air conditioning. We can look at it and tell you what is actually required.
Fault finding is charged as part of the job rather than given away, because tracing an intermittent fault properly takes time. We talk you through what we find and what the repair involves before we carry it out.
Yes. Adding outlets to an existing home is routine work for us, including running new circuits where the existing one is already loaded. Where cabling has to pass through finished walls or ceilings we will explain the access involved before we start.
Yes. We install and replace smoke alarms, including interconnected mains-powered alarms. If you are unsure what your property needs, we can look at what is currently fitted and advise.
Yes. We install security cameras and video doorbells along with the power and data cabling they need. We do not offer monitored alarm services, so if you want a monitored system we are not the right fit for that part.
We are based in Lilydale and cover the Yarra Ranges, Maroondah, Knox, Whitehorse, Manningham and the Dandenong Ranges, plus Boroondara and Stonnington. You can see the full list on our areas we serve page.
Home Electrical Across Eastern Melbourne
Switchboards and Circuit Protection
The switchboard is where most residential electrical problems either start or get solved. Older boards in the eastern suburbs often still run ceramic rewirable fuses, which protect the wiring but do nothing to protect a person. Safety switches do, and on a modern board they are separated across circuits so a fault in one part of the house does not black out the rest of it.
An upgrade is also what makes other work possible. Adding an EV charger, a heat pump or a second kitchen circuit often needs board capacity that simply is not there yet.
Full Details on Switchboard Upgrades →Fault Finding and Repairs
Intermittent faults are the ones that waste people's time. A circuit trips once a week, or lights flicker when the dryer runs, and resetting the breaker makes it go away until it does not. Finding the actual cause means testing methodically rather than guessing at the most likely culprit.
We work through it properly, then explain what we found and what the repair involves before doing it. That covers damaged cabling, failed fittings, water-affected wiring and connections that have worked loose over time.
Full Details on Fault Finding & Repairs →Powerpoints, Light and Power
Rooms get used differently over time. A study becomes a bedroom, a garage becomes a workshop, and suddenly there are four things running off one double outlet and an extension lead. Adding outlets where you need them is cheap compared with the alternative.
We handle general light and power throughout the house, including new circuits where the existing one is already carrying enough, along with data wiring and antenna work.
Full Details on Powerpoints →Smoke Alarms, Safety Inspections and Test and Tag
Smoke alarms have a service life and stop being reliable well before they look old. We install and replace them, including interconnected mains-powered alarms so one detection sounds them all.
Electrical safety inspections are worth doing when you are buying, renting out, or simply have not had anyone look at the wiring in a long time. We report what we find in plain terms and separate what needs attention now from what can be planned. We also carry out test and tag on electrical equipment.

Cameras and video doorbells are only as good as their installation. Poorly placed cameras miss the approach to the house, and units running on marginal power or wireless drop out exactly when you want them.
We install cameras and video doorbells with the power and data cabling they need, run neatly rather than surface-taped along the eaves. We do not provide monitored alarm services.
