Your Local Boroondara Electrical Team

Our small team is based in Ferntree Gully, around 30 minutes east of Boroondara. We work across Hawthorn, Camberwell, Kew, Balwyn, Canterbury and the surrounding suburbs whenever the work calls for it.

Boroondara has more period homes than any other council we service — Edwardian, Federation and Victorian homes that need a careful hand. Most of our Boroondara work is switchboard upgrades on older homes, period-appropriate lighting and renovation electrical that doesn't damage original finishes.

Keeping Boroondara homes and businesses powered, safe and up to date

A local team that knows Boroondara

Boroondara is one of Melbourne's most heritage-rich council areas. Hawthorn, Camberwell and Kew are full of older homes with original plaster ceilings, period architraves and ornate cornices that deserve careful work. Cutting walls and patching afterwards is a last resort, not a first option.

We've worked on enough older homes to know what's worth keeping and what genuinely needs replacing. Most older homes don't need a full rewire — a switchboard upgrade plus a few targeted circuit replacements gets the home up to current safety standards without disturbing what's already there.

• Careful work on heritage homes and finishes
• Honest assessments — we won't over-quote a full rewire
• Reliable — we turn up when we say we will

How We Help Boroondara Home & Business Owners

Lighting Installation and Upgrades

Older Boroondara homes deserve fittings that suit the era. We install period pendants, chandeliers and wall sconces, plus discreet downlights where extra light is needed without dominating the ceiling. Plenty of options that work with original plaster and architraves.

For more modern Boroondara homes the work is the standard halogen-to-LED conversion, kitchen and bathroom feature lighting, and outdoor entertaining lighting.

Home Electrical Services

Older Boroondara homes through Hawthorn, Camberwell and Kew often still have their original switchboards and wiring. Replacing the board with one that has safety switches on every circuit is a big jump in safety — and crucially, it doesn't affect any of the home's interior.

Most older homes don't need a full rewire. We assess what's actually at end-of-life and replace specific circuits where needed, rather than ripping everything out by default.

Renovation Electrical Work

Renovating a heritage home electrically is its own discipline — adding modern circuits, lighting and appliances while keeping the existing structure and finishes intact. We work alongside builders and architects who handle period work carefully.

Boroondara renovations are also commonly knockdown-rebuilds, which we handle the standard way — full electrical rough-in working with the builder, then back for the final fit-off.

EV Charger Installation

EV charger installs in older Boroondara homes need a careful cable run — through accessible voids, behind existing skirtings, or via the meter board where possible — without disturbing original plaster or facades.

The switchboard often needs an upgrade as part of the install. We'll let you know upfront if that's the case so it's planned in, not a surprise.

Cooling Systems Installation

Split systems are the most efficient way to cool a Boroondara home — quick to install, room-by-room control, and no ducting that has to run through fragile plaster ceilings.

For period homes we plan the install carefully to avoid disturbing original ceilings or external facades. The switchboard always gets checked first.
