Electrical Repairs, Inspections and Upgrades in Mordialloc

Get Your Free Quote

Mordialloc has a lot of small older houses near the creek and the foreshore that have been added to steadily since the 1950s. A sleepout became a bedroom, a carport became a garage, a laundry moved, and somewhere in there a run of cable went into a wall.

Some of that work was done properly. Some of it was done by whoever was around at the time. The problem is not that the second kind exists, it is that from the outside both look identical, and neither comes with paperwork.

So the useful thing here is often not a repair. It is finding out what is actually there before you spend money on the assumption that it is fine.

Finding Out What Is Actually in the Walls

There are two moments where this is worth money. Before you buy, and before you renovate.

Before you buy, because a house that needs a rewire is a different house to one that does not, and the difference is not visible from the hallway. A building inspection will note the switchboard looks old. It will not tell you whether the cable behind it is rubber-insulated, whether the back half of the house is fed off an extension of an extension, or whether anyone ever certified any of it.

Before you renovate, because the wall you are about to open is the cheapest opportunity you will get. Finding an undocumented junction inside a stud wall while the plaster is off is a morning. Finding it afterwards is a fortnight.

What we do is look, test, and write down what we found: the age and type of the cable where we can see it, the state of the board and what it protects, evidence of work that was not done by a licensed electrician, and what each of those will cost to put right. You then have a number, and a number is what lets you negotiate or plan.

01

Before You Buy

What the wiring actually is, and what bringing it up to standard would cost. In writing.

02

Before You Open the Wall

The cheapest time to find an undocumented junction is while the plaster is already off.

03

Unlicensed Work Called Out

If someone has been in there who should not have been, you will be told plainly.

04

Costed, Not Just Listed

Every finding comes with a price, so it is something you can act on.

Inspections and Reports

What we look at. The switchboard and what it protects, the meter and mains, accessible cable in the roof and subfloor, the condition of points and fittings, and any evidence of alterations that were not done under licence.

What you get. A written report listing what is there, what is non-compliant, what is merely old, and what each item would cost to fix. Old and unsafe are not the same thing and the report says which is which.

What it is not. It is not a Certificate of Electrical Safety for someone else’s work, and it is not a guarantee about cable we cannot see. We will tell you plainly what was inaccessible rather than implying it was checked.

Rewiring, when that is the answer. Staged room by room so the house keeps power through it, with the plaster worked around rather than through wherever a route exists.

Our licensed electricians can help with

  • Safety switches & smoke alarms
  • Emergency electrical work
  • Electrical maintenance
  • Data cabling
  • Installation of power points
  • Electrical fault repair
  • Lighting solutions & ceiling fans
  • Switchboard upgrades

Everyday Electrical Work in Mordialloc

Board replacements with residual current protection across the circuits, which on this stock is often the single most useful thing that can be done.

New circuits for a cooktop, a heat pump or a car charger, once we know what the mains will actually take. Halogen out and LED in, which on a low-roofed cottage is as much about the heat as the running cost. And outdoor work with the coastal exposure allowed for, the same as Sandringham a few suburbs up.

05 - Commercial

Businesses on Main Street and the Foreshore

Cafés, shops and the hospitality along the creek and the beach. Fitout work, kitchen and cool room supply, and the appliance and emergency-lighting testing that a trading premises has to keep records of.

Older shopfronts here have the same undocumented history as the houses, so a look at the board is usually a sensible first step before a fitout is priced.

06 - What it costs

What It Costs in Mordialloc

An inspection is charged as time and quoted before we start, because it is the report you are paying for rather than a repair. If you go ahead with the work we have recommended, that is a separate quote and a separate decision.

No call-out surprises

Quotes are free and there's no charge for coming out to look at the job. You'll know what it costs before you decide whether to go ahead.

08 - FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Can't see yours? Call us on 0433 577 910.

What areas do you service?

We provide service throughout Melbourne Bayside and surrounding suburbs.

Is there a difference between an electrician and electrical contractor?

An electrician is a worker in the electrical industry that has completed the relevant training and accreditation. Whilst an electrical contractor is a business that holds the appropriate insurances and licences to employ electricians to complete electrical work.

Are you insured?

Yes, all contractors are insured. We have public liability insurance and can provide documentation on request.

Do you offer free quotes?

Yes we do. Contact us with your job details and we will either quote you over the phone or arrange a time to come and see you.

Why should I use a NECA accredited electrician?

A NECA accredited electrician is trained to work safely and to current Victorian standards, and NECA keeps that training current as the standards change. It also means the contractor is licensed and insured, and you can ask to see the documentation.

What is a Certificate of Electrical Safety?

It is the record that electrical work was done to the wiring rules. Your licensed electrician completes and signs it on finishing the work and lodges it with Energy Safe Victoria, which is the regulator rather than the issuer. You keep a copy. It is the document a buyer, insurer or property manager asks for later, so it is worth filing somewhere you will find it.

Are LEDs worth all the fuss?

They are, and the reason is heat. An incandescent globe turns most of the power it draws into heat rather than light, which is why it is too hot to touch. An LED puts far more of what it draws into light and runs cool, so it gives you the same brightness for a fraction of the electricity and lasts a great deal longer. Start with the lights you leave on longest, because that is where the difference shows up on a bill first.

How do I know which electrician to use?

Three things are worth checking. That they are licensed, and will give you the number so you can look it up. That the quote is in writing against an agreed scope, so you can compare one price with another instead of guessing. And that people in your own area have been happy with the work, which is what reviews are for.
