Home Electrical Services

From your switchboard to your last power point — and every garden bollard in between — Hyperactive Electrical handles every aspect of residential electrical work safely, cleanly, and to Australian standards.

Power Point Installation

New GPO installation, relocation, and upgrades — including USB outlets, double-power points, and weatherproof external GPOs.

Downlight Upgrades & Indoor Lighting

Swap tired halogens for energy-efficient LED downlights. Pendants, dimmers, kitchen feature pieces — done clean with minimal patching.

Switchboard Upgrades

Upgrade from old ceramic fuses to modern circuit breakers and RCDs. Essential before renovations, EV chargers, or ducted aircon.

Full House Rewires

Older Melbourne home with cloth or rubber wiring? We rewire the lot — circuit by circuit — staged to keep the lights on while we work.

New Builds (Ground-Up)

End-to-end electrical for new-build homes — rough-in, fit-off, switchboard, data, and final certification. We work to your builder's program.

Renovations & Extensions

Adding a room, opening up a kitchen, converting a garage? We re-route circuits, add new GPOs and lighting, and bring the existing board up to code.

Smoke Alarm Installation

Compliant, interconnected photoelectric smoke alarms to meet Victoria's updated requirements for rental and owner-occupied homes.

Media Panel Upgrades

Centralise your data, TV, and network in a tidy structured-wiring panel. NBN, ethernet runs, AV — sorted in one neat enclosure.

Generator Changeovers

Lose power often? We install manual or auto changeover switches so you can safely run a generator during outages without backfeeding the grid.

General Compliance Checks

Pre-sale inspections, rental compliance, peace-of-mind audits — we test, document, and issue the paperwork to keep your home (and tenants) safe.

Fault Finding & Diagnostics

Tripping circuits, flickering lights, hot switches — we methodically diagnose and fix intermittent electrical faults instead of guessing.

Safety Switches & RCDs

Protect your family with properly installed residual current devices on every circuit, as required by Australian standards.

Garden & Feature Lighting

This is where we really love to play. Most sparkies can wire a downlight — fewer can transform the way your home actually looks at night. From subtle garden glow to architectural feature pieces, we design and install lighting you'll be proud to come home to.

Pride Piece

Garden Lighting

Path bollards, spike lights tucked under shrubs, deck step-lights, uplighters on the gum out the back. Done properly, garden lighting turns your yard into a second living room after dark.

  • Low-voltage 12V/24V systems — safe around kids and pets
  • Smart timers, dusk sensors, app-controlled scenes
  • Weatherproof, IP-rated fittings built for Melbourne weather
  • We work in with your landscaper — or design the layout ourselves
Pride Piece

Feature Lighting

Wall washers on a feature stone wall, LED strips floating under a kitchen island, statement pendants over the dining table, cove lighting tracing a ceiling line. The kind of lighting people actually notice when they walk in.

  • LED strip lighting — cabinets, coves, stair treads, mirrors
  • Wall washers and uplighters for stone, brick, textured walls
  • Smart dimming, colour-temperature tuning, scene control
  • Architect & designer-friendly — we read plans and spec sheets

Residential FAQs

Real questions from real customers. If yours isn't here, give Mitch a ring — happy to help.

For most residential jobs, same-day or next-day appointments are available across south-east Melbourne. For urgent issues — no power, sparking, burning smell — we'll prioritise you and aim to be on-site within a few hours.

Absolutely. Replacing a single power point, swapping a light fitting, fixing a tripping circuit — we treat the small jobs with the same care as a full rewire. No call-out fee for a quick chat first.

Yes — we love this work. We can walk the yard with you, plan a layout (bollards, uplighters, deck lights, water-feature lighting), spec the right IP-rated fittings, and run smart controls so it all comes on at dusk. For feature lighting indoors, we'll work from your designer or architect's plans, or design it ourselves.

Yes. We do rough-in, fit-off, switchboards, data and media panels, and final certification on new builds — working in with your builder's program. Same for renovations and extensions: we'll re-route, add circuits, and bring the existing switchboard up to code.

Yes — we offer 24/7 emergency call-outs for power failures, faults, and safety hazards. After-hours rates apply for genuine emergencies. For non-urgent work, we'll happily book the next available standard-rate slot.

Yes. Every job that requires one is lodged with Energy Safe Victoria and you receive a copy of the Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) for your records. Essential when selling your home or for insurance.

It depends entirely on the job — a single power point install is very different from a switchboard upgrade. We provide free, transparent, no-obligation quotes for every job, and we never start work without your written approval on the price.

No — in Victoria it's illegal (and dangerous) for unlicensed people to carry out fixed electrical work. Plugging in an appliance is fine; replacing a hardwired light fitting is not. Your home insurance won't cover damage caused by unlicensed work.

For larger jobs — like switchboard upgrades, EV chargers, or full renovations — we can split payment across milestones (deposit, mid-job, completion). Talk to Mitch when you get your quote and we'll work something out.
