Moving into a brand-new home in Truganina’s rapidly growing estates should feel exciting, not worrying. Some builder-grade electrical systems only provide the bare minimum of service, and can be prone to faults. As knowledgeable electricians in Truganina, we specialise in upgrading new project homes to make sure that your family’s safety and your investment’s protection.
Truganina’s population exploded between 2016 and 2021, growing to 39,174 residents, placing huge demand on new housing and its electrical infrastructure. This rapid growth means builders often work at pace to meet demand, and while homes meet minimum standards, many families want the extra peace of mind that comes from electrical safety and targeted upgrades.
The modern open-plan designs typical of Metricon, Simonds, and Porter Davis Homes often feature minimal power points and basic downlights that struggle to meet a family’s actual needs. Many homeowners find their builder-installed switchboards lack sufficient capacity for future additions like solar panels or EV chargers.
The sun-exposed plains of Truganina create another challenge entirely. Without established trees for shade, new homes face intense summer heat, forcing air conditioning systems to work overtime. This constant high demand can overload circuits never designed for such sustained use, leading to the dreaded “bill shock” that catches so many new homeowners off guard.
Our team regularly encounters:
[Give us a call 1300 138 332] to schedule an extensive electrical safety audit for your Truganina home.
All our work in Truganina strictly adheres to Wyndham City Council building codes and the AS/NZS 3000 ‘Wiring Rules’, making sure that your new home’s electrical system is not just compliant, but safe for the long term. We specialise in upgrading builder-grade switchboards to include all-inclusive RCD protection on all circuits, protecting your family from electrical faults that older safety switches might miss.
Modern switchboards also prepare your home for the future. Whether you’re planning to install solar panels to combat those high summer bills or add an EV charger in your garage, we make sure that your electrical infrastructure can handle these additions safely and efficiently.
Replacing standard builder downlights with energy-efficient LED alternatives can slash your lighting costs by up to 80%. We design lighting layouts that eliminate dark corners while creating the warm, inviting atmosphere your family deserves. Smart lighting controls add convenience while further lowering energy consumption during those long summer days.
Modern family life demands more from our electrical systems than ever before. From charging multiple devices to running home offices, the basic power point configuration in most project homes simply isn’t enough. We strategically install additional outlets where you actually need them, eliminating dangerous daisy-chained power boards and lowering circuit load.
Understanding the unique demands of modern project homes on the flat volcanic plains of Truganina, where underground power in new estates requires a different approach to maintenance and upgrades by comparison to older suburbs, sets us apart from generic electrical services. We know the specific construction methods used by volume builders and the common pain points that arise in brand-new homes across the Wyndham area.
Our 24/7 availability means we’re here when you need us most – whether that’s a weekend switchboard failure or an evening when your air conditioning trips the power during a heatwave. With over 20 years of industry experience and full licensing and insurance, we bring both knowledge and reliability to every job.

We pride ourselves on our 5-star Google rating from over 180 reviews, demonstrating our commitment to customer satisfaction across Melbourne.
While your new Truganina home passed its initial inspection, several factors can compromise electrical safety over time. The rapid construction pace in growing estates can lead to installations that meet minimum requirements but lack the robustness needed for modern family life.
Circuit overloading poses a particular risk in open-plan living areas where multiple high-draw appliances operate simultaneously. Without adequate circuit separation, you might find your microwave trips the power when used alongside your kettle and toaster, a frustrating and potentially dangerous situation.
The lack of surge protection in standard installations leaves your expensive electronics vulnerable to power fluctuations. With Truganina’s expanding infrastructure, power surges from network upgrades or storms can damage unprotected devices, from smart TVs to computer equipment.
Our extensive safety audits examine every aspect of your electrical system, from the switchboard to individual power points. We test RCD functionality, check circuit loads, and identify potential hazards before they become serious problems. This proactive approach gives you peace of mind and protects your investment in your forever home.
Truganina families expect their homes to work smarter, not harder. Our smart home services transform builder-basic houses into intelligent, efficient homes that adapt to your lifestyle.

Experience the difference of exceptional customer service
How soon after moving into a new build should I get an electrical safety audit?
We recommend scheduling an audit within the first three months of moving in. This allows time to identify any immediate issues while you’re still covered by builder warranties, giving you the ability to apply for repairs or the documentation needed for upgrades.
What's the typical cost of upgrading a builder-grade switchboard?
Costs vary depending on your home’s specific needs and the level of upgrade required. We provide transparent, upfront quotes after assessing your current setup and discussing your future plans for solar, EV charging, or other additions.
Do you work directly with volume builders for warranty issues?
While we can identify and document issues that may be covered under your builder’s warranty, we primarily work directly with homeowners to upgrade and improve their electrical systems beyond basic builder standards.
Can you help lower our high electricity bills?
Absolutely. Through a combination of LED lighting upgrades, circuit optimisation, and smart home controls, we help Truganina families significantly decrease their energy consumption. We also prepare homes for solar installation, providing long-term bill relief.

Yes, our 24/7 emergency electricians service all Truganina areas, from established sections near Wyndham Village Shopping Centre to new developments in Mt. Atkinson. We understand that electrical emergencies don’t follow business hours.
