Swinburne students, Glenferrie Road traders and families in century-old terraces all share these streets. We work across the lot, from tidy studio apartments to double-fronted Victorians still running on tired wiring.

Hawthorn homes
Electrical work
in Hawthorn.
Hawthorn has some of Melbourne's oldest suburban housing. Victorian terraces and villas sit beside Edwardian homes, interwar flats and a steady run of apartment blocks near Glenferrie and Burwood Roads. Many period houses were rewired once, decades ago, and now carry ceramic fuses or a board with no safety switches on the lighting and power circuits. Add a kitchen renovation, a heat pump and a home office and the old board struggles. Apartments bring a different job: shared risers, body corporate rules and limited ceiling space for new downlights. Many streets sit under heritage overlays, so we keep any visible external work discreet and run cabling through roof spaces and subfloors where we can.
Jobs we're often called for in Hawthorn
SwitchboardsPlenty of Hawthorn's Victorian and Edwardian homes still have ceramic fuses or a board without full safety switch coverage. Upgrading it is often the first step before any renovation or new appliance goes in.Switchboards in Hawthorn House RewiresOlder rubber and cloth-insulated cable still turns up in Hawthorn's period homes. Where it has been extended piecemeal over the years, a planned rewire is safer and tidier than more patching.House Rewires in Hawthorn LightingApartment owners near Glenferrie Road often want old halogen fittings replaced with LED downlights. Working within tight ceiling cavities and body corporate rules is routine for us.Lighting in Hawthorn

FAQ
Hawthorn electrical FAQs
Can't see your question? Call Steve on 0450 347 495.
Our Hawthorn terrace still has an old fuse box. Does it need replacing before we renovate?
Usually, yes. A renovation adds circuits and load, and an old fuse board rarely has the capacity or safety switch protection current standards expect. We inspect the board and existing wiring first, then tell you plainly what has to change and what can stay.
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.
