Your Local Knox Electrical Team

We're a small, owner-operated team based in Ferntree Gully — right in the middle of the City of Knox. Knox is home turf for us, so we can usually attend jobs within days rather than weeks.

Most of the calls we get from Knox homes are switchboard upgrades on older houses, extra power points where the original wiring fell short, lighting upgrades and EV charger installs in the newer estates. Whether it's a small repair or a full renovation rough-in, we treat every job the same way.

Get in touch for a free quote and we'll come out at a time that suits, take a look at the work and give you a clear price before anything starts.

A local team that knows Knox

Knox covers a real mix of housing — older homes through Ferntree Gully, Boronia and Bayswater, newer family homes in Rowville, Wantirna South and Knoxfield, and plenty in between. Each has its own quirks.

We work across all of it regularly, so when you call us out we already have a good idea of what to expect — older switchboards in older homes, additional power points in newer builds, EV chargers across both. That local familiarity means cleaner quotes and fewer surprises on the day.

  • Based in Knox so we're nearby and respond quickly
  • Tidy, safe installations always done to current standards
  • Reliable trades who turn up when they say they will

How We Help Knox Home & Business Owners

Lighting Installation and Upgrades

A lot of Knox homes still have halogen downlights from the original build — they get hot, burn out often, and use much more power than modern LEDs. Swapping them out is one of our most common Knox jobs, especially in the older streets of Ferntree Gully, Boronia and Bayswater.

Outdoor lighting is the other big one. Sensor lights at the front door, pathway lights for hillier blocks toward The Basin and Boronia, and entertaining lighting for backyards. We plan and install the lot.

Home Electrical Services

Plenty of older Knox homes still run on the original switchboard — ceramic fuses, no safety switches, and circuits that trip when too many appliances are on at once. We replace these with modern boards that have safety switches on every circuit, which is a big jump in safety and a fix for the regular tripping.

For newer Knox homes in Rowville, Wantirna South and Knoxfield, the calls are usually about adding extra power points where the original build came up short, smoke alarm upgrades for sales or rentals, and small repairs.

Renovation Electrical Work

Kitchen and bathroom renovations are the most common reno work we do across Knox. We work alongside your builder on the rough-in before plaster goes up, then come back for the final fit-off once cabinets and fixtures are in place.

Getting the lighting, power points and appliance circuits right is much easier in the planning stage — moving them later means cutting walls and patching, which nobody enjoys.

EV Charger Installation

EV chargers are getting more common across Knox, especially in the newer Rowville and Wantirna South estates where switchboards usually have spare capacity but the run to the garage hasn't been done.

We check the switchboard, install a dedicated circuit and fit the wall charger with the right RCD protection. Older Knox homes often need a switchboard upgrade as part of the install — we'll let you know upfront if that's the case.

Cooling Systems Installation

Knox sees both cold winters and warm summers, so split systems get used year-round. We install single-head and multi-head splits, plus ceiling fans in rooms that don't need full air con.

Before installing we always check the switchboard can handle the new load — particularly important on older Knox boards that are already at capacity.

Asked questions

Knox Electrician FAQs

  • Yes — Ferntree Gully, Rowville, Boronia, Wantirna, Wantirna South, Bayswater, Knoxfield, Scoresby, The Basin and Lysterfield. We're based in Ferntree Gully so all of Knox is local for us.

  • Usually within the week for non-urgent work. For genuine emergencies — no power, sparking, burning smell — we prioritise local calls and aim to attend the same day.

  • In older Knox homes it's almost always an overloaded circuit or an aging switchboard. We check the system and either redistribute the load across more circuits or upgrade the board if it's at capacity.

  • It depends on the work. Smaller jobs like power points and fittings are usually charged hourly. Larger jobs — switchboards, renovations, EV chargers — are quoted upfront so you know exactly what to expect before any work starts.

  • Yes. All work is carried out by licensed Victorian electricians, completed to AS/NZS 3000 standards, with a Certificate of Electrical Safety provided on completion.

  • Yes. From a single power point or smoke alarm replacement through to full switchboard rebuilds and renovation rough-ins. No job is too small.
