Ashburton homes

Electrical work
in Ashburton.

Ashburton was largely built out after the Second World War. The common house is a modest post-war brick or weatherboard home, alongside 1960s and 70s brick units and a growing number of townhouses where older blocks have been subdivided. Some interwar homes remain toward the Glen Iris side. Original post-war houses often have small switchboards, few circuits and limited safety switch protection, which becomes a problem once a family adds air conditioning, a new kitchen or a home office. Units bring shared driveways, grouped meters and body corporate approval for anything external. New townhouses are generally well wired, but owners often want more lighting, data points and EV charging added.

“Steve helped us out with some AC installs, a new switchboard and new circuits to enable a complete kitchen redo. He was able to start quickly and the work was done on time as promised. Would definitely hire again!”

Switchboards

“Steven provided a good and accurate quote over the phone and the job came in on price. Contacted about arrival time the night before and showed up when expected. The outdoor power point was installed within 20 minutes and the job was finished and cleaned well. Nice to deal with and enjoyed our dog coming by to check out what was going on.”

Powerpoints

“Steve and Jason installed several new downlights and powerpoints in my apartment, as well as installing a bathroom fan and doing a general switchboard check. The work was done very fast and to high quality. Steve had great ideas on how to improve the lighting and ventilation in my apartment in a cost effective manner. Steve's input really improved the look of my bathroom in particular, it almost looks like a new room!”

FAQ

Ashburton electrical FAQs

Can't see your question? Call Steve on 0450 347 495.

We own a 1970s unit in Ashburton. Do we need body corporate approval for electrical work?

Inside your unit, generally not for like-for-like work such as new powerpoints or lights. Anything touching common property, like shared meter panels, external walls or a charger in a shared carport, usually needs approval first. We can give you the details your body corporate will ask for.

Is the quote free?

Yes. Quotes are free with no obligation.

What guarantee do I get?

A 12-month workmanship guarantee on every job, plus 2–5 year manufacturer warranties depending on the product.

Do you repair appliances?

No. We install new appliances but don't repair faulty ones.
