Box Hill has changed faster than almost anywhere in the eastern suburbs, and the electrical work reflects it. Close to the station the suburb is now high-density — apartments, mixed-use buildings and constant redevelopment. Move a few streets out and it is still 1950s to 1970s brick veneer on quarter-acre blocks, much of it either untouched since it was built or in the middle of being subdivided.
That subdivision work is a large part of what we do here. A dual occupancy or townhouse development is not simply two houses worth of wiring — it is separate supplies, separate metering, separate boards, and getting that arrangement right from the beginning rather than discovering at connection stage that the metering position will not work. We handle the full fit-out and the coordination that goes with it.
The original homes are the other half. A 1960s brick veneer that has never been touched typically has rewireable fuses, no earth-leakage protection, far too few circuits for how the house is now used, and power points that were installed for one appliance per room. Rewires and switchboard upgrades are steady work in Box Hill, and they are usually triggered either by a renovation or by a sale.
We are based in Newport, which is about thirty-five to forty minutes from Box Hill depending on the freeway and the time of day. We are straight with people about that. For planned work — a rewire, a switchboard, a renovation fit-out, lighting, an EV charger — the drive makes no practical difference to you, and we come out for jobs of any size. What we will not do is promise to be at your door in twenty minutes at midnight, because we cannot, and we would rather say so now than have you waiting.
Box Hill is a genuine drive for us and we are honest about that. It makes no difference on a rewire, a townhouse fit-out or any job where we are on site for days — but if you want someone to swap a power point this afternoon, a closer electrician will serve you better and we will say so.
The other thing worth knowing is that we quote one number after looking at the board and the supply, not a cheap figure over the phone followed by a variation once the wall is open. On older homes especially, what is behind the plaster changes the job — and we would rather find that out before you have committed than after. Ring 0418 583 097 and we will give you a realistic answer about timing and cost.

Yes, on planned jobs of any size. We are based in Newport, around thirty-five to forty minutes away depending on traffic. For a rewire, a fit-out or a renovation the distance is irrelevant. For a small same-day repair, a local electrician will genuinely serve you better and we would rather tell you that.
Yes. Separate supplies, separate metering and separate switchboards for each dwelling, planned from the start rather than improvised at connection stage. We handle the full fit-out for each dwelling and coordinate with the builder and the distributor on metering arrangements.
It is not immediately dangerous, but it offers no earth-leakage protection at all — that is the real gap. A modern board with RCBOs trips on a fault in milliseconds and isolates a single circuit rather than the whole house. On a home of that era it is the most worthwhile electrical work you can do.
If the wiring is original, yes. Access is the expensive part of a rewire, and a renovation gives you access for free. Doing it afterwards means opening up finished work a second time.
We work on individual apartments — internal wiring, lighting, power points, data. Anything involving common property, risers or building infrastructure has to go through the owners corporation, and we are happy to explain where that line falls in your particular case.
Yes. We can assess a property, carry out any work needed to bring it up to standard, and provide the appropriate certificate of electrical safety for the work we perform.
