Living in a beautiful Victorian weatherboard or Edwardian cottage in Yarraville brings unique electrical challenges that require specialist knowledge. When your lights flicker during dinner or your century-old fuse box trips on a hot summer’s day, you need electricians who understand the delicate balance between preserving your home’s character and making sure of your family’s safety.
With 41.5% of Yarraville homes being semi-detached or terrace houses [Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021 Census Data for Yarraville], often from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, we understand the unique electrical challenges these shared-wall properties present. At Day & Night Electrical, we specialise in modernising period homes throughout Yarraville while respecting their heritage value and architectural integrity.
The charm of Yarraville’s historic homes comes with electrical systems that weren’t designed for modern living. Our team frequently encounters specific issues that require expert attention.
Many Yarraville homes still contain original knob-and-tube wiring or deteriorating VIR (vulcanised India rubber) cabling from pre-1960s installations. These outdated systems pose serious fire risks, especially when Melbourne’s hot summers push air conditioning units to their limits. Our electricians are experts in safely rewiring period homes, working carefully with lath and plaster walls to preserve your home’s original features.
Victorian and Edwardian homes were built for minimal electrical use. Today’s families need power for multiple devices, modern appliances, and electric vehicle charging. We specialise in upgrading electrical systems to support contemporary lifestyles while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your Yarraville home.

Our approach to electrical services in Yarraville goes beyond quick fixes. We provide long-standing services that improve both safety and functionality in your home.
Old ceramic fuse boxes simply can’t handle modern electrical demands safely. We replace these outdated systems with modern switchboards featuring safety switches and circuit breakers, making sure your home meets current Australian safety standards. Our installations are designed to handle everything from induction cooktops to EV chargers, future-proofing your investment.
Transform your heritage home with cutting-edge technology that doesn’t compromise its character. We expertly install smart lighting, automated systems, and energy monitoring services that blend easily with period features. Whether you’re in a classic cottage near Yarraville Gardens or a renovated family home on Anderson Street, we make sure technology improves rather than detracts from your home’s appeal.
Electrical emergencies don’t wait for business hours. When storms threaten the mature Plane Trees along Gamon Street, potentially affecting overhead power lines, or when your air conditioning fails during a heatwave, our 24/7 emergency electricians respond quickly to keep your family safe and comfortable.
As specialists in Yarraville’s unique housing stock, we bring a deep understanding of local requirements and challenges. Any external electrical work on your home, such as new meter boxes or solar installations, may fall under the Maribyrnong City Council’s Heritage Overlay (HO), which we have extensive experience navigating so that your project is compliant [Source: Maribyrnong Planning Scheme, Clause 43.01].

We know the strain that Melbourne’s extreme weather puts on original wiring in older Yarraville homes. Our preventive maintenance programs help identify potential issues before they become emergencies, giving families peace of mind in their heritage properties.
