McKinnon homes
Electrical work
in McKinnon.
McKinnon is a small suburb, mostly interwar bungalows and some Edwardian homes, with post-war units and newer townhouses filling in around the station and McKinnon Road. A lot of the older houses have been well kept but never properly rewired, so we still find rubber or cloth-insulated cable in roof spaces and lights on circuits with no safety switch. If you are renovating, that is the time to deal with it, because walls and ceilings are already open. Families here also tend to update kitchens and living areas in stages, so we see a fair amount of lighting and oven work. We always tell you what we find in the roof before quoting the job.
Jobs we're often called for in McKinnon
House RewiresInterwar homes in McKinnon sometimes still have original rubber-insulated wiring, which breaks down with age. A rewire during a renovation is the cleanest way to replace it while walls are open.House Rewires in McKinnon LightingOlder McKinnon homes often have a single batten light in the middle of each room. Swapping to LED downlights or pendants makes a big difference in these darker period rooms.Lighting in McKinnon OvensKitchen updates are common in McKinnon. New wall ovens often draw more current than the old ones, so we check the circuit and cable size and install it properly.Ovens in McKinnon

“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
McKinnon electrical FAQs
Can't see your question? Call Steve on 0450 347 495.
How do I know if my McKinnon house still has its original wiring?
Signs include old ceramic fuses, light switches that feel loose, and no safety switches on the board. The surest way is for us to look in the roof space and at the board. Many interwar homes here have had partial updates, so we check what is left and explain whether a full or partial rewire makes sense.
