Electricians in Forest Hill You Can Rely On
Forest Hill is a quiet, family-oriented suburb in Melbourne’s east, characterised by the brick veneer homes built predominantly in the 1970s and 1980s that line its wide, leafy streets. The suburb has remained largely residential in character, with the Forest Hill Chase shopping centre on Springvale Road serving as the main commercial hub.
The 1970s and 1980s housing stock in Forest Hill often comes with outdated electrical infrastructure — ceramic fuse boxes, limited power points, and wiring that predates modern safety standards. Many Forest Hill homeowners also contact us ahead of planned renovations, particularly kitchen and bathroom projects that require additional circuits and increased switchboard capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions — Forest Hill Electrician
Do you work on older brick veneer homes in Forest Hill?
Yes, the majority of our work in Forest Hill is on homes from the 1970s and 1980s. We regularly upgrade ageing switchboards, replace ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers, install safety switches, and add extra power points to meet contemporary living demands.
Can you add extra power points to my Forest Hill home?
Absolutely. Adding power points is one of our most common residential jobs. We install additional GPOs, USB charging outlets, and outdoor weatherproof power points with minimal wall disruption. We’ll also confirm your switchboard has sufficient capacity at the same time.
What is involved in a switchboard upgrade in Forest Hill?
A switchboard upgrade typically takes three to four hours. We replace the old fuse box with a modern consumer mains unit, install RCD safety switches on all circuits, label everything clearly, and issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety. Most Forest Hill homes from this era benefit enormously from this upgrade.
