Living in one of Camberwell’s magnificent Federation or Edwardian homes brings immense pride. As specialist electricians in Camberwell, Day & Night Electrical understands the unique challenges of maintaining and upgrading electrical systems in heritage properties while preserving their architectural character. This investment deserves electrical systems that are not only safe but capable of supporting modern family life without compromising the home’s historic charm.
Camberwell’s stunning collection of Federation, Edwardian, and Victorian-era homes face distinct electrical challenges that require specialised knowledge. The prevalence of grand period homes means we frequently encounter and are experts in safely decommissioning outdated, perished Vulcanised Indian Rubber (VIR) wiring hidden within original lath and plaster walls.
These beautiful properties, particularly those along prestigious streets like Prospect Hill Road and Tara Avenue, often contain:
The specific risk posed by Camberwell’s beautiful, mature Elm and London Plane trees adds another layer of complexity. These magnificent street trees, while improving the suburb’s character, can damage overhead power lines during storms, causing dangerous power surges that threaten sensitive modern electronics and appliances.

Our approach to electrical services in period residences goes beyond simple repairs. We provide wide-ranging heritage home rewiring and switchboard upgrades that make your home safe for your family while preserving its unique architectural character.
Your Edwardian home’s original fuse box was never designed to power today’s induction cooktops, air conditioning systems, and home offices. We specialise in upgrading these outdated systems to modern switchboards that can safely handle contemporary electrical loads while meeting all current Australian safety standards.
Working with lath and plaster walls requires specialised techniques to avoid costly and unsightly damage. Our industry experts know how to find their way through the challenges of double-brick Federation homes, carefully routing new wiring while protecting delicate cornices and ceiling roses that define your home’s character.
Transform your heritage property into a modern smart home without compromising its period features. We expertly integrate:
As electricians who understand Camberwell’s unique housing stock, we bring specialised knowledge that generic electrical contractors simply don’t possess. Unlike general electricians who might quote for a simple “rewire” without understanding the complexities of heritage-listed properties, we make our way through the specific requirements that come with Camberwell’s period homes.
From Camberwell Junction’s surrounding Victorian terraces to the grand Federation homes throughout the suburb, we’ve developed specialised techniques for:
Electrical emergencies don’t respect business hours, and in older homes, they can arise suddenly. Our 24/7 emergency electrician service makes sure that you’re never left in a dangerous situation.

How do I know if my Camberwell home needs rewiring?
Signs include frequent fuse blows or circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, or if your home still has original VIR wiring. Properties built before the 1960s typically require assessment, especially Federation and Edwardian homes common in Camberwell.
Can you work on heritage-listed properties in Camberwell?
Yes, we specialise in electrical work for properties under the City of Boroondara’s Heritage Overlay. We understand the planning requirements and work methods needed to preserve your home’s character while upgrading its electrical safety.
Do you offer same-day service in Camberwell?
We provide same-day service for urgent electrical needs throughout Camberwell. Our 24/7 emergency service makes sure you’re never left waiting when electrical safety is at stake.
How can I protect my home from storm-related power surges?
Given Camberwell’s mature street trees and overhead power lines, we recommend whole-home surge protection installation. This safeguards your sensitive electronics and appliances from voltage spikes caused by storm damage to power lines.
What's involved in upgrading an old fuse box to a modern switchboard?
The upgrade process includes assessing your current and future power needs, installing a new switchboard with safety switches, properly labelling all circuits, and verifying compliance with current Australian standards. For period homes, we make sure the installation respects your property’s aesthetics.
Don’t let outdated wiring compromise your beautiful Camberwell home’s safety or your family’s wellbeing. As knowledgeable electricians in Camberwell, we combine heritage knowledge with modern electrical services to protect what matters most. Whether you need emergency repairs, a complete rewiring, or want to future-proof your period home with smart technology, Day & Night Electrical delivers professional, reliable service that respects your property’s unique character.
