Electrician
Kew East 3102

Harp Village, Hays Paddock and wide streets of post-war brick homes give Kew East a quieter feel than its neighbour. Plenty of houses here are being extended or rebuilt, and the wiring needs to keep up.

Kew East homes

Electrical work
in Kew East.

Kew East grew mostly between the wars and in the years after, so the typical home is an interwar bungalow or a post-war brick house on a decent-sized block. Plenty of these have been extended at the back or replaced with large new double-storey homes, and the suburb now mixes original 1950s houses with modern rebuilds and some townhouses. In the older homes, boards are often original or only partly upgraded, with safety switches missing from some circuits. Renovations bring new kitchens, open-plan living and outdoor areas, all asking for more power and better lighting. The new builds want smart lighting, data points and EV charging planned in from the start.

“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

“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!”

Lighting

“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.”

FAQ

Kew East electrical FAQs

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

We're keeping our 1950s Kew East house but extending the back. Do we need to rewire the original part?

Not always. We test the existing wiring first. If the cable is in good condition we can often keep it and upgrade the board, adding safety switches. If it is perished or badly altered over the years, rewiring the old section while the walls are open makes sense.

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.
