Electrician Richmond

Licensed electricians for Richmond, 5033 – switchboard upgrades, smoke alarms and EV charger installation. 24/7 emergency callouts.

Local Electricians for Richmond Homes, Units and Townhouses

Richmond sits between South Road and Marion Road, with Sir Donald Bradman Drive running through and Richmond Oval at its heart. Post-war homes still line many streets, but plenty of blocks have been split in recent years, with townhouses and units now sitting behind or beside the original house.
That makes Richmond a mix of owner-occupiers, investors and renters, and the electrical work follows. We do a lot of switchboard upgrades on original homes, smoke alarm and safety checks for rentals, and new circuits and EV chargers for the newer townhouses.

Switchboard Upgrades in Richmond

Many of Richmond’s post-war homes still run on their original switchboard. We upgrade them to modern boards with RCBO protection on every circuit, and check the consumer mains can handle any extra load you’re planning.

Smoke Alarms for Richmond Rentals

Landlords and property managers in Richmond use us for smoke alarm installation and replacement, safety switch testing and general repairs between tenancies. We provide the paperwork you need for your records and work around tenants’ schedules.

EV Charger Installation in Richmond

Newer townhouses often have a tight garage and a switchboard with little spare capacity. We check what your supply can handle before quoting, install the charger to Australian Standards, and can set up load management so it doesn’t overload the house.

Why Subdivided Blocks Need Their Power Supply Checked

When a Richmond block is split, each new dwelling needs its own supply, metering and switchboard. Problems show up when older work was done on the cheap, with undersized mains or circuits that still run back to the original house. If you’re buying or renovating a subdivided property, we can check the supply arrangement so you know exactly what you’re working with.

The boys were at the property on time, did the job perfectly and professionally, and to an excellent standard, as per usual from Sharkey the Sparky. Shout out to Masyn, he was super friendly and easy to talk to.

Kane did a great job today fitting my 3 light bar pendant which was a bit fiddly. He was very methodical and neat. He spent time getting the 3 lights level and advising on the distance from the ceiling. I’m really pleased with the result. Kane cleared up any mess and was really helpful. Thanks

I was confused and amused when the Sharkey the Sparky van pulled up, because I was expecting a different contractor. Mason and Ocean explained that they were there to instal the circuit for the next contractor and quickly got to work. They were friendly and efficient and gave me a lot of trust in their work. I'm happy to recommend them.
