HAMISH CARLIN

Director, Carlin Co Electrical

Hamish Carlin began his electrical career on Victoria’s South West Coast before moving to Melbourne over ten years ago, where he’s worked extensively across homes and businesses throughout the city. With a practical, detail-focused approach, he founded Carlin Co Electrical to deliver high-quality work paired with clear, honest communication—and to help break the common trade stigma of unreliability and poor service.

As founder and director, Hamish personally oversees every project to ensure neat, compliant installations and a seamless client experience. Carlin Co Electrical is built on the belief that great workmanship goes hand-in-hand with building positive, long-lasting relationships based on trust and respect.

Melbourne Golf Park
Hamish and his team are extremely professional and a pleasure to deal with! We have had Carlin Co Electrical working along side us in the residential industry for a number of years now and we couldn’t be happier with their work! Their attention to detail and workmanship is second to none and we couldn’t recommend them more highly if you are looking for an electrical contractor to take care of all your electrical needs! Great people, Great service!
Ellton Air Conditioning
Hamish recently installed a ceiling fan for us, and we couldn’t be happier with his work. From the start, he was professional and prompt – we provided a photo of the area beforehand, and he quickly gave us a clear quote, explaining all the regulations and considerations around the fan’s placement. On the day, he arrived on time and completed the work efficiently. Reliable, expert service! The whole experience was smooth, and we’re very pleased with the results. We’ve already asked him to quote for additional work, given the fantastic service. Highly recommended!
Shaun Mullan
Outstanding customer service and I am really happy with the work! Communication with Hamish was great. He was very responsive during the quote process, on time with the job and did an outstanding result in the works completed in my apartment. He made the payment process very easy with multiple options for payment. I will be using Carlin Co again for any electrical works required at my properties in Melbourne. Thank you Hamish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our Melbourne electrical services

How quickly can you respond to an electrical emergency in Melbourne?
Carlin Co Electrical offers prompt emergency call-outs across Melbourne's inner suburbs. For urgent electrical faults, safety switch trips, or power outages, we aim to be on-site as quickly as possible — typically within a few hours for inner Melbourne areas including Prahran, South Yarra, Hawthorn, Toorak, and surrounding suburbs.
Are your electricians licensed and insured in Victoria?
Yes. All Carlin Co Electrical tradespeople are fully licensed electrical contractors registered with Energy Safe Victoria (ESV). We carry full public liability and professional indemnity insurance, giving you complete peace of mind on every job — residential or commercial.
Do you install EV chargers for home and business in Melbourne?
Absolutely. We're experienced EV charger installers across Melbourne, working with leading brands including Tesla Wall Connector, Zappi, Wallbox, and ABB. We handle the full installation — from switchboard assessment and load calculations through to final installation and commissioning. Ask about rebates that may apply under the Victorian Government's Cheaper Home Batteries Program.
What suburbs do you service?
We service Melbourne's inner suburbs including Prahran, South Yarra, Hawthorn, Toorak, Port Melbourne, Kew, Camberwell, Williamstown, Yarraville, Elwood, Carlton, Newport, Brighton, St Kilda, South Melbourne, Footscray, Kensington, Flemington, Spotswood, Windsor, Fitzroy, and more. Contact us to confirm availability in your area.
How much does switchboard replacement cost in Melbourne?
Switchboard upgrade costs in Melbourne typically range from $800 to $2,500+ depending on your property's size and current switchboard condition. We provide free, no-obligation quotes. A modern switchboard upgrade improves safety, adds RCD (safety switch) protection, and is often required before solar panel or EV charger installation.
Do you work on both residential and commercial electrical projects?
Yes. We work across residential, commercial, and industrial electrical projects. Our commercial services include shop fit-outs, office electrical installations, body corporate work, new builds, home automation, CCTV and security systems, LED lighting upgrades, and three-phase power installations. We're trusted by leading Melbourne businesses and body corporate managers.
