Electrician in Blackburn

REC 35801 · A-Grade A62716 · Distributor: AusNet Services · Whitehorse council

Blackburn 3130 housing is heavily skewed toward original 1960s-70s brick veneers, which means we see a lot of ceramic-fuse switchboards, undersized neutral connections, and ungrounded power circuits. Our most common Blackburn jobs are full switchboard upgrades (typically $1,800-$2,800 with RCBOs and a new MEN), kitchen rewires, and replacing original aluminium wiring with copper. AusNet distributor. We're often called out after a renovation electrician has refused to extend the existing switchboard — we just upgrade it.
