What We Do in Coburg
Electrical Work Across Coburg
Coburg is a large, diverse suburb in the City of Merri-bek, centred around Sydney Road and the Upfield railway line. The suburb has a rich mix of housing styles: Californian bungalows, interwar brick homes, post-war migrant-built dwellings, and an increasing number of contemporary townhouse and apartment developments. This variety means electrical needs range from heritage rewiring to new-build fit-outs.
Californian Bungalow Electrical
Coburg’s Californian bungalows are among the suburb’s most sought-after homes, but many still run on original or early-replacement wiring. We provide switchboard upgrades and rewiring that respect the character of these homes while delivering modern safety and capacity. Cables are routed through existing cavities to preserve plaster ceilings and original timber features.
Sydney Road Commercial Electrical
Sydney Road is home to hundreds of small businesses, from restaurants and cafes to retail shops and professional offices. We provide commercial electrical services including shopfront lighting upgrades, three-phase power for commercial kitchens, data cabling, and compliance testing. We schedule around trading hours to minimise disruption.
Renovation and Extension Electrical
Rear extensions and full renovations are a constant in Coburg. We handle the complete renovation electrical scope: lighting design, power point positioning, dedicated kitchen and bathroom circuits, and clean integration with existing wiring. We work with your builder and coordinate with other trades to keep the project on track.
EV Charging at Home
More Coburg households are switching to electric vehicles. We install dedicated EV charging circuits in garages, carports, and driveways. Every installation begins with a switchboard assessment, and we manage any required upgrades to ensure safe, reliable charging.

Switchboard Upgrades
We replace old fuse boards with modern RCD-protected switchboards. Coburg’s older homes often have switchboards that are undersized and lack safety switch protection. A modern upgrade resolves circuit overloading, nuisance tripping, and brings the installation up to current Australian standards.
Renovation Electrical
We manage the electrical component of home renovations from design to completion. This includes lighting layouts, power point positioning, dedicated appliance circuits, and clean integration of new wiring with the existing installation. We coordinate with your builder to keep the project on schedule.
EV Charger Installation
We install home EV chargers with dedicated circuits, correct cable sizing, and clean mounting. Every installation begins with a switchboard assessment and we guide you through charger selection based on your vehicle and usage patterns.

Coburg’s Electrical Landscape
Coburg is one of Melbourne’s largest inner-north suburbs, stretching from the Merri Creek in the east to the Upfield rail corridor in the west. Sydney Road runs through its centre, providing a bustling commercial and cultural strip. The suburb is in transition, with established residential streets sitting alongside new medium-density developments, particularly around station precincts.
The housing diversity creates a wide range of electrical work. Californian bungalows and interwar homes need switchboard modernisation, rewiring, and careful renovation work. Post-war homes often benefit from lighting upgrades and additional circuits. New townhouse developments require finishing work, EV charger installation, and post-handover additions.
We take pride in every detail and leave every property cleaner than we found it. Every job includes a certificate of electrical safety.
Common Questions
Can you rewire a Californian bungalow?
Yes. We rewire Californian bungalows by routing new cables through existing wall cavities and ceiling spaces, preserving original plaster, timber, and architectural features. The work includes a new switchboard with full safety switch protection and enough circuits for modern living.
Do you work on Sydney Road commercial properties?
Yes. We provide commercial electrical services for Sydney Road businesses including lighting upgrades, power distribution, data cabling, three-phase connections, and compliance testing. We schedule around your trading hours to minimise downtime.
Can you add circuits to an older home without a full rewire?
In many cases, yes. If the existing wiring is still in serviceable condition, we can add new circuits for kitchens, bathrooms, air conditioning, or EV charging without rewiring the entire home. We always start with a thorough assessment to determine the safest and most cost-effective approach.
