What We Do in Glen Iris
Electrical Work Across Glen Iris
Glen Iris is a leafy, family-focused suburb straddling the border of Boroondara and Stonnington. The housing stock is predominantly interwar and post-war, with generous block sizes that have attracted steady renovation and extension activity. Gardiner Creek and the Ferndale Trail run through the suburb, and the High Street and Tooronga Village shopping strips anchor the community.
Family Home Electrical Upgrades
Many Glen Iris homes were built in the 1930s to 1960s with wiring that no longer meets the demands of modern family life. We provide switchboard upgrades, safety switch installation, and additional power points throughout the home. These upgrades ensure your home can safely support air conditioning, kitchen appliances, and home office setups.
Renovation and Extension Electrical
Glen Iris sees constant renovation activity as families extend interwar homes rather than move. We provide full renovation electrical for rear extensions, kitchen and bathroom upgrades, and second-storey additions. This includes circuit design, downlight installation, and coordinating with your builder on rough-in and fit-off schedules.
Outdoor and Garden Electrical
Glen Iris’s larger blocks mean more outdoor living space. We install garden and landscape lighting, outdoor lighting for entertaining areas, and security lighting around driveways and entry points. Weatherproof power points for outdoor kitchens and pool equipment are another common request.
EV Charging at Home
With most Glen Iris homes having off-street parking, EV charger installation is straightforward. We assess your switchboard capacity, upgrade it if necessary, and install a dedicated charger circuit in your garage or carport.

Glen Iris’s Electrical Landscape
Glen Iris sits between Camberwell and Malvern, centred around the Gardiner railway line and Gardiner Creek. The suburb is characterised by wide, tree-lined streets and well-maintained homes ranging from Californian bungalows and English Tudor styles of the 1920s and 1930s to solid brick homes from the 1950s and 1960s. Newer townhouse developments occupy some of the larger subdivided blocks.
For electricians, this means working with homes that have had varying degrees of electrical updating over the decades. Some retain original wiring and fuse boards, while others have been partially upgraded. Many families are investing in full electrical overhauls alongside major renovations, and the shift to electric vehicles is driving demand for dedicated home charging circuits.
We take pride in every detail and leave every property cleaner than we found it. Every job comes with a certificate of electrical safety.
Common Questions
Can you work on interwar homes without damaging plaster?
Yes. We use cable routing techniques that minimise wall damage in lath-and-plaster and solid-plaster homes. Where penetrations are needed, we keep them small and tidy, and we protect all surfaces during the work.
How do you coordinate with builders on renovations?
We attend site meetings, provide circuit plans, and schedule our rough-in and fit-off stages around the construction timeline. We are accustomed to working alongside other trades and keeping our work on schedule.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade before adding an EV charger?
Not always, but many older Glen Iris switchboards do need upgrading. We assess your switchboard capacity first and advise whether an upgrade is needed. If it is, we can do both jobs together, which is more efficient and cost-effective.
