What We Do in Cheltenham
Electrical Work Across Cheltenham
Cheltenham is a well-established suburb in the City of Kingston, positioned between Highett and Mentone along the Frankston railway corridor. The suburb has undergone significant change in recent years, with many original post-war homes being renovated, extended, or replaced by new townhouse and unit developments. This mix of old and new housing creates a wide range of electrical requirements.
Established Home Electrical Upgrades
Cheltenham has a large number of 1950s and 1960s brick homes with original switchboards and wiring. These homes often lack safety switches, have insufficient circuit capacity for modern appliances, and may have degraded wiring in walls and sub-floor areas. We provide switchboard upgrades and rewiring that bring these homes up to current Australian standards.
Renovation and Extension Electrical
Rear extensions and kitchen renovations are common in Cheltenham, as families expand existing homes rather than move. We handle the complete renovation electrical scope: new lighting layouts, dedicated kitchen circuits, bathroom exhaust and heating connections, and integration of new circuits with existing wiring. We coordinate with your builder to keep the electrical work on schedule.
Townhouse and Unit Electrical
New townhouse developments throughout Cheltenham often need additional electrical work after completion: extra power points, lighting adjustments, ceiling fan installation, split system connections, and EV charger installation in garages. We also work with builders and developers on new-build fit-outs and defect rectification.
EV Charging
Home EV charging is growing quickly across Cheltenham. We install dedicated EV charging circuits with the correct cable sizing, circuit protection, and charger mounting for your garage or carport. Every installation starts with a switchboard assessment to confirm your home can handle the additional load.

Switchboard Upgrades
We replace old fuse boards with modern RCD-protected switchboards that provide the safety and circuit capacity your home needs. This is the most impactful electrical improvement for Cheltenham’s older homes, resolving nuisance tripping, circuit overloading, and bringing the installation up to current standards.
Renovation Electrical
We handle the complete electrical scope for home renovations: lighting design, power point positioning, dedicated kitchen and bathroom circuits, and clean integration with your existing wiring. We work to your builder’s schedule and deliver the quality you expect in your home.
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 help you choose the right charger for your vehicle, usage patterns, and electricity tariff.

Cheltenham’s Electrical Landscape
Cheltenham stretches across a broad area between the Frankston railway line and the Nepean Highway, within the City of Kingston. The suburb is centred around Southland Shopping Centre and includes Cheltenham Park, Le Page Park, and a network of established residential streets. The Frankston, Sandringham, and bus routes provide strong public transport connectivity.
The housing stock ranges from original post-war fibro and brick homes to recent townhouse developments and contemporary builds. This diversity means electrical needs vary widely: older homes need switchboard modernisation and rewiring, mid-century homes benefit from lighting and power upgrades, and new builds often need finishing touches and additions after handover.
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
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Common signs include ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, no safety switch (RCD), frequent tripping when running multiple appliances, and a switchboard that looks visibly old or damaged. If your home was built before the 1990s and hasn’t had electrical work done since, a switchboard assessment is a good starting point.
Can you work on new townhouse developments?
Yes. We regularly work on townhouse projects in Cheltenham, both for builders during construction and for owners after handover. Common post-handover work includes additional power points, lighting changes, ceiling fan installation, split system connections, and EV charger installation in garages.
Do you handle rental property compliance?
Yes. We provide landlord electrical compliance services including safety switch installation, smoke alarm testing and compliance, and electrical safety inspections. We coordinate with property managers and tenants to minimise disruption and provide the documentation you need.
