Electrical Work for Home Renovations MELBOURNE

Your local experts in Electrical Work for Home Renovations

Every home renovation reaches a point where the electrical work determines whether the project stays on schedule or falls behind. The right electrician understands how their work fits into the build programme, when to attend for rough-in, when to return for second fix, and how to coordinate with your builder without creating delays or disputes.

 

We carry out the full electrical scope for home renovations and extensions across Melbourne, from first fix rough-in through to second fix installation, switchboard upgrades, lighting design, and Certificate of Electrical Safety at completion. We work directly with homeowners and alongside builders and project managers. Based in Melbourne’s Western suburbs, working across all of Melbourne.

Kitchen and bathroom electrical, the most complex rooms in any renovation.

Kitchens and bathrooms account for the majority of renovation electrical work in Melbourne homes — and they are also the most technically demanding. Both rooms have specific circuit requirements, compliance obligations, and safety considerations that a general electrician needs to get right.

 

In kitchens, we design and install dedicated circuits for induction cooktops (typically 32A or 20A), rangehood wiring, dishwasher circuits, refrigerator circuits, and all other fixed appliances — in addition to the power point layout and LED lighting. We advise on power point positions relative to your kitchen design before rough-in so that outlets end up exactly where your kitchen installer needs them.

 

In bathrooms and ensuites, all electrical work must comply with the zone requirements of AS/NZS 3000 — specifying which fittings can be installed in each proximity zone to the shower, bath, and basin. We install IP-rated lighting appropriate for each zone, exhaust fan wiring, heated towel rail circuits, shaver outlets, and any other bathroom electrical to the correct standard. Every bathroom installation is tested and certified on completion.

Who we work with on home renovation projects.

We work with the full range of people involved in a home renovation — from the homeowner managing a small kitchen update themselves, to the experienced owner-builder coordinating a whole-home renovation, to the builder or project manager overseeing a complex multi-trade programme.

 

Our renovation clients include homeowners undertaking kitchen, bathroom, or living area renovations, owner-builders managing their own build programme, project managers and builders who need a licensed electrician subcontractor, architects and interior designers specifying electrical layouts as part of a renovation design, and property investors renovating rental properties across Melbourne. We work within your existing project structure and communicate in the way that works for your team.

Why the right electrician makes your renovation run smoother:

  • On-schedule rough-in — a delayed first fix holds up the frame inspection, the insulation, and the lining; we attend when your builder needs us, not when it suits us.
  • Builder coordination — we understand how renovation programmes are sequenced and communicate directly with your builder; no missed handovers, no delays caused by trades not talking to each other.
  • Switchboard assessment upfront — we assess your existing switchboard capacity before rough-in so any required upgrade is included in the scope and priced before work begins.
  • Future-proofed capacity — switchboard and circuit design accounts for EV charging, solar, and smart home additions that commonly follow a renovation.
  • One electrician for the whole job — first fix, second fix, and any additional work under a single contact; no handover gaps between contractors.

    Aymen was an absolute life saver!

    Aymen was a life saver. He turned up on a Saturday and spent around 4 hours on site installing our Tesla wall charger. It was a harder install than expected and he and his apprentice nailed it. Very happy with their work and would recommend them to all.

Electrical Work for Home Renovations FAQ

Your Electrical Work for Home Renovations questions answered.

    • Do I need a licensed electrician for my home renovation?

      Yes. All electrical installation work in a home renovation, including new circuits, moving or adding power points, installing new lighting, and connecting fixed appliances — must be carried out by a licensed electrician in Victoria. This is a legal requirement under the Electricity Safety Act 1998 (Vic). DIY electrical work in a renovation is illegal, dangerous, and voids your home insurance.

    • When should I book the electrician for my renovation?

      Ideally before the build programme is confirmed, so the electrical scope and timeline can be agreed with your builder from the start. The earliest we need to attend is at the first fix stage, which happens after framing and before wall lining. Booking us before this point ensures we’re available on your builder’s programme without causing delays. For kitchen renovations, we also need to know your kitchen layout before rough-in so power points can be positioned correctly.

    • Can you quote my renovation before the build begins?

      Yes. We can provide a quote from your renovation plans or architectural drawings before the build starts, giving you a realistic electrical cost to include in your overall renovation budget. A fixed itemised quote is provided once the scope is confirmed.

    • Does a kitchen renovation require special electrical work?

      Yes. Kitchen renovations typically require dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances — a 32A or 20A circuit for an induction cooktop, a dedicated circuit for the dishwasher, rangehood wiring, and refrigerator circuits. Power point positions need to be agreed before rough-in so they end up in the right locations relative to your kitchen layout. We advise on the correct circuit and power point specification as part of the quoting process.

    • What electrical work is needed for a bathroom renovation?

      Bathroom electrical work must comply with the zone requirements of AS/NZS 3000 — specifying which fittings can be installed in each proximity zone to the shower, bath, and basin. We install IP-rated lighting appropriate for each zone, exhaust fan wiring, heated towel rail circuits, shaver outlets, and any other bathroom electrical to the correct standard. Every bathroom installation is tested and certified on completion.

    • Does my renovation require a switchboard upgrade?

      It depends on the scale of the renovation and the age and capacity of your existing switchboard. Adding significant new load — a large kitchen with induction cooking and multiple high-draw appliances, an extension with multiple new circuits, or EV charging as part of the renovation, may require an upgraded switchboard to support the additional capacity. We assess your switchboard as part of the renovation quote and include any required upgrade in the scope.

    • How long does renovation electrical work take?

      Timeline depends on the scale of the renovation. A kitchen or bathroom renovation typically requires one day for first fix and one day for second fix. A home extension may require two to three days at each stage. A full home rewire is typically a two to four day project. We confirm the programme with your builder at the quoting stage so everyone knows when we need to attend.

    • Can you work alongside my builder as a subcontractor?

      Yes. We regularly work as the electrical subcontractor on renovation projects managed by builders and project managers. We’re familiar with the scheduling and coordination requirements of a managed renovation programme, and we attend site when we commit to attending, which is what matters most on a renovation timeline.
