  • Luke (LPL Electrics Group) was recommended to us about eight years ago. We needed a house to be re-wired. Very happy with the electrical work completed. A number of other jobs have been done since then. Most recently we've had a spotlight and sensor, extra power points and a second doorbell chime installed. LPL Electrics Group provide professional and quality service. They took the time to explain options and were happy to answer questions.

New Home and Renovation Electrical Across Melbourne's North

Getting the electrical right on a build or renovation comes down to planning and timing. Here is how the main stages and decisions fit together.

Rough-In and Fit-Off Explained

The rough-in happens while the frame is still open, when we run cables, set out boxes and prepare for lights, power points and appliances. The fit-off follows once the walls are lined and painted, when switches, outlets, fittings and appliances are connected and tested.

Planning Lighting, Power and Appliances

Deciding on a lighting plan and power point layout early saves costly changes later. We walk through each room with you or your builder, covering switch positions, lighting, bench power and circuits for ovens, cooktops and exhaust fans.

When it is time to connect those appliances, our appliance installation work takes care of the electrical side.

Switchboard and Mains Planning

New kitchens, extra living space, EV chargers and heat pumps all add to the load on your home. We check whether your switchboard and supply can handle what you are adding and plan any switchboard upgrade or mains work as part of the project.

Rewiring During a Renovation

Older homes may have wiring that no longer suits modern appliances or a new floor plan. With walls and ceilings opened up for the renovation, it is a practical moment to rewire so the updated rooms start with a fresh electrical system.

Smart-Home Pre-Wiring and Data

If you want whole-home control, smart lighting or security cameras, running the cabling during construction keeps it out of sight and avoids retrofitting later. Data points, Wi-Fi and network racks are handled through our home networking and data service.

Adding Space With an Extension

An extension needs power and lighting that feel like part of the original home. We assess your existing supply and switchboard, then connect the new rooms so the old and new sections work together.
