Living in an older home? Here's what we often find
Adelaide has plenty of character villas, post-war brick homes and 1960s and 70s builds. Many still run on electrical installations that were fine when they went in but were never designed for today's appliances: air-conditioners, induction cooktops, home offices and EV chargers.
These are the issues that come up again and again in older homes:
- Ceramic (rewireable) fuses instead of circuit breakers, which don't give the same protection.
- No safety switches (RCDs), or only one covering part of the house.
- Ageing cable insulation that has gone brittle, particularly in roof spaces that get hot in summer.
- Too few power points, leading to double adaptors and power boards daisy-chained behind the TV.
- DIY or unlicensed work from previous owners that doesn't meet the Wiring Rules.

Living in an older home? Here's what we often find
None of this means your home is unsafe today, but it's worth having a licensed electrician take a look, especially before a renovation or if you're adding big new loads. We'll explain what we find in plain English and tell you what's urgent and what can wait.
A home electrician you can actually get hold of
You talk to the electrician
Yazen quotes, schedules and does the work himself, so the person you explain the problem to is the person who fixes it.
Price agreed before we start
You get a clear quote or an honest estimate up front. If we find something unexpected, we stop and talk before doing extra work.
Certified and tested
Work is tested and meets AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules). You receive a Certificate of Compliance for prescribed electrical work.
Respect for your home
Drop sheets down, dust cleaned up and old fittings taken away. We work like it's our own place.
Frequently asked questions
Do you do small jobs, like one power point or a light fitting?
Yes. Small jobs are a big part of residential work. If you have a few small things on your list, group them together and we can usually knock them over in one visit, which is better value for you.
Can you tell me if my wiring is old or unsafe?
We can inspect your switchboard and a sample of outlets, lights and cabling and tell you what condition it's in. For a thorough check with written findings, book an electrical safety inspection.
Will I get a Certificate of Compliance?
Yes. In South Australia, licensed electrical workers must issue a Certificate of Compliance for prescribed electrical work. We provide one when the job is finished so you have a record for insurance, sale or lease.
Do I need to be home while you work?
Not always. For many jobs you just need to give us access and let us know where the switchboard is. The power may be off for part of the visit, so we'll tell you beforehand how long to expect.
Do you work in units and strata properties?
Yes. Work inside your unit is straightforward. If the job involves common property, such as the main switchboard or meter room, you may need approval from the strata or community corporation first, and we can help you explain what's needed.
