As leading electricians in Thomastown, we understand the unique concerns of homeowners in post-war brick veneer properties throughout the suburb. With over 40% of Thomastown households owned outright, residents have a deep investment in their property’s long-term safety and value. If you’re worried about that old fuse box in your laundry or the constant power trips when running modern appliances, you’re not alone and we’re here to help.
Day & Night Emergency Electrical specialises in upgrading the electrical systems of Thomastown’s classic brick homes, making sure they meet modern safety standards while handling today’s power demands. Whether you live in a classic brick home near the TRAC facility or a newer townhouse backing onto Edgars Creek, our industry experts know exactly what electrical challenges your property faces.
The majority of homes in Thomastown are post-war brick veneer constructions, which often contain original, outdated wiring like VIR cabling that degrades over time and poses a significant fire risk. As electricians in Thomastown who’ve worked extensively throughout the area, we regularly encounter these critical issues:
Those old ceramic fuse boxes weren’t designed for today’s electrical loads. When you’re running the air conditioner on a hot summer day while someone’s using the microwave and the kids are gaming, your 1970s-era fuse box simply can’t cope. We replace these outdated systems with modern switchboards featuring RCD safety switches that protect your family from electrical shocks and fires.
Modern Thomastown families need more than the two power points per room that builders installed in the 1960s-80s. The constant use of extension cords and power boards isn’t just inconvenient, it’s a fire hazard. We install additional power points and dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances, eliminating the mess and danger of overloaded outlets.

Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system. In Thomastown’s older brick veneer homes, we frequently find original switchboards that haven’t been touched since installation. These outdated systems pose serious risks and can’t support modern electrical demands.
Our switchboard upgrade service includes:
We understand the specific electrical strain caused by running powerful split-system air conditioners in 1970s brick veneer homes that were originally wired for just a fan and small TV. Our upgrades make sure your home can safely handle all your modern appliances without constant trips or fire risks.
Today’s Thomastown households use far more electrical devices than homes built decades ago were designed to handle. From home offices with multiple computers to entertainment systems and modern kitchen appliances, the power demands have increased dramatically. We design switchboard upgrades that accommodate both current needs and future additions, protecting your investment in your property.
As electricians Thomastown residents trust, we bring extensive industry experience working with the suburb’s unique housing stock. We’ve spent years inside homes just like yours throughout Thomastown, from High Street to the streets near Edgars Creek. We know the common shortcuts taken by builders in the 80s and how to fix them properly.
Our local knowledge means we understand:
All our work in Thomastown strictly adheres to the City of Whittlesea’s planning scheme requirements and Australian Standards, so that your upgrades are fully compliant and insurance-approved.
