Queens Parade's shops and the Merri Creek trail frame Clifton Hill, a suburb of well-kept Victorian and Edwardian homes. Owners here care about keeping period detail intact while upgrading safely.
Clifton Hill is mostly Victorian and Edwardian housing, with many single and double-fronted terraces and villas, plus some interwar homes and a few newer townhouses and apartments. Heritage overlays are widespread, so we keep visible external work discreet. Many homes have been restored with care, and owners want electrical upgrades that don't spoil period features. Inside, we often find switchboards from decades ago, wiring that has been extended in stages and kitchens upgraded without the circuits being reviewed. Families also ask us to check smoke alarms, safety switches and general electrical health before or after buying. We take a careful, unhurried approach, protecting original ceilings, cornices and fireplaces while getting the electrical right.
“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!”

“Have used Steve at Select Electrical for a few years now in my role as a residential facilities manager, have used him from large scale works as well as small repairs with both the body corporate as well as private lot or house owners. I can always trust that they are going to do a job right and share their findings with the clients or myself in a professional and friendly manner as they go. A real pleasure to deal with.”

We've just bought a period home in Clifton Hill. Should we get an electrical safety check?
It's a good idea. Older homes can have outdated switchboards, missing safety switches or old wiring hidden behind renovations. We test the circuits, check smoke alarms and safety switches, and give you a clear list of anything that needs attention.
