GENERAL ELECTRICIAN MELBOURNE
General Electrician
Reliable general electrical work for homes and businesses across Melbourne. From a single power point to a full property fit-out, we handle the everyday electrical work that keeps your property running safely.
Everyday Electrical Work
Most electrical work is not complex or specialised. It is the everyday jobs that make a home or business function properly: adding a power point, replacing a light fitting, fixing a faulty switch, or connecting an appliance. We treat these jobs with the same care and attention as larger projects.
Power Points and Switches
Installing new power points, replacing damaged or discoloured outlets, adding USB power points, installing dimmer switches, and relocating outlets to better positions. We use quality mechanisms and ensure every installation meets current wiring standards.
Lighting
Replacing light fittings, installing new downlights, upgrading to LED, adding outdoor lighting, and installing ceiling fans with light kits. Whether it is a single pendant in the kitchen or a full lighting upgrade across the house, we handle it cleanly and efficiently.
Safety and Compliance
Smoke alarm installation and compliance, safety switch upgrades, safety inspections, and certificates of electrical safety. We make sure your property meets current standards and that you have the documentation to prove it.
Appliance Connections
Hardwiring ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, dishwashers, hot water systems, and split system air conditioners. We ensure the circuit and cabling are adequate for the appliance’s load and that protection devices are correctly rated.

How We Work
Clear Communication
We explain what needs to be done, what it will cost, and how long it will take before we start. If we find something unexpected during the job, we discuss it with you before proceeding. No surprises on the invoice.
Clean and Tidy
We protect your floors, clean up after ourselves, and leave the work area in the same condition we found it. Dust sheets go down before we drill, and rubbish goes with us when we leave. Cleaner than we found it.
Compliant Work
All work is completed to AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules) and relevant Australian Standards. You receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety for prescribed electrical work as required by Victorian regulations.

General Electrician FAQs
Do you charge a call-out fee?
Yes, we charge a standard call-out fee that covers travel to your property. This is included in any quote we provide. For smaller jobs, we can often give you a total price over the phone so you know the full cost before we arrive.
Can you do multiple small jobs in one visit?
Absolutely, and this is often the most cost-effective approach. Save up a list of small jobs and we will work through them all in one visit. You only pay one call-out fee and we can often move between tasks more efficiently than booking separate visits.
Do I need a certificate for the work?
Victorian regulations require a Certificate of Electrical Safety for prescribed electrical work. This includes installing new circuits, switchboard work, and certain types of alterations. We issue certificates for all prescribed work as part of the job.
What areas do you cover?
We service the greater Melbourne area including the inner suburbs, eastern suburbs, south-eastern suburbs, bayside, and inner west. Check our service areas page for a full list of suburbs.
