Old Wiring Meeting a New Floor Plan

A renovation is usually the first time anyone looks properly at what's behind the walls. In houses around here that often means original wiring, a switchboard with ceramic fuses, and circuits that were never meant to carry a modern kitchen and air conditioning at the same time.

At the same time the floor plan is changing, so points and lighting that suited the old layout end up in the wrong rooms entirely.

What a renovation usually brings to the surface:

  • A switchboard with no capacity for the new work
  • Original wiring that should be replaced while walls are open
  • Circuits shared across too many rooms
  • Points and lighting that no longer suit the new layout

Walls being open is the cheapest this work will ever be. It's worth dealing with while you're there.

One Electrician Across the Whole Renovation

We handle the electrical across the whole project, from the initial walk through with your plans, to rough-in while the frame is open, to the final fit-off once everything is finished.

That includes the switchboard. If the board can't carry the new load we'll say so at the start and build the upgrade into the program rather than leaving it as a surprise partway through.

We coordinate our timing with your builder so plaster, cabinetry and inspections aren't waiting on us, and we provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion.

What we do:

  • Walk the plans with you and mark out every point
  • Upgrade or rebuild the switchboard where it's needed
  • Rewire and rough in while the walls are open
  • Coordinate timing with your builder and other trades
  • Fit off, test and certify the completed work

  • Michael GHome Owner

    We are very happy with the recent work done by Jessie and his guys. Nothing was too much trouble. They arrived on time each day and consulted with us every step of the way. They cleaned up very well at the end of both days and took all the rubbish with them.

  • Jesse GHome & Business Owner

    Most recently he installed a split system air conditioner and did a switchboard upgrade for me, both jobs were done to a really high standard. Neat cabling, everything tested and explained, and the worksite was left spotless when he was finished.

Asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. On most renovations we're engaged alongside the builder and coordinate rough-in and fit-off timing with them directly, so the electrical fits the program rather than holding it up.

  • Not always. It depends on the age and condition of the existing wiring and how much of the house is being opened up. We assess what's there and tell you what genuinely needs replacing rather than defaulting to a full rewire.

  • Often, yes. Renovations usually add circuits, and older boards frequently have no spare capacity or no safety switches. We check it at the start so the cost is in the quote rather than appearing mid project.

  • It's split across two visits rather than one continuous run. Rough-in happens while walls are open, then fit-off after the finishes are in. The gap between them is set by the rest of the build, not by us.

  • Yes. All work is completed to AS/NZS 3000 standards by licensed Victorian electricians, and we provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion.
