Electrician in Caulfield

A house built a century ago has usually been rewired at least once, but rarely all at the same time. It's common to find an older board with a mix of fuses and breakers, circuits stretched to reach rooms added later, and lighting runs with no earth.

We test before we quote, so you'll know which parts of the installation are sound. Where a full rewire isn't needed, we target the circuits that fail testing and leave the rest alone.

Nearly as many Caulfield homes are townhouses or semis as are separate houses. These tend to have newer switchboards, so the jobs are more about adding than repairing: extra power where the furniture actually goes, lighting for a courtyard, a dedicated oven or cooktop circuit.

Where a building shares walls or a driveway, we plan cable routes so the neighbouring home isn't disturbed, and we confirm the board has spare capacity first.

If your home still has halogen downlights from an earlier renovation, or one central light per room, an LED upgrade is a quick win. IC-4 rated fittings can sit safely under ceiling insulation, and it's a good moment to add dimmers or split a room onto two switches.

Tell us how you use each room and we'll suggest warm or cool light and where dimming makes sense, then test every circuit once the new fittings are in.
