When your grand Victorian or Edwardian home experiences electrical issues, you need more than just any electrician. You need specialists who understand the unique challenges of Essendon’s cherished period properties. At Day & Night Electrical, we’re the electricians Essendon homeowners rely on for everything from emergency repairs to complete home rewiring, all while preserving the architectural character that makes your property special.
In Essendon households family safety is paramount. Our team of licensed electricians combines 20 years of experience with deep local knowledge, making sure your home’s electrical systems meet modern safety standards without compromising its heritage value.
Living in Essendon’s beautiful period homes comes with unique electrical challenges that require specialist attention. Our electricians regularly address these critical issues throughout the suburb, from Rose Street to the leafy avenues near Maribyrnong River.
Original switchboards in Victorian and Edwardian homes weren’t designed for today’s electrical demands. When you run modern appliances like air conditioners and induction cooktops, frequent power trips and flickering lights become a daily frustration. Our team specialises in [switchboard upgrades] that seamlessly integrate with your home’s existing architecture while providing the capacity needed for contemporary living.
Behind those pristine lath and plaster walls, many Essendon homes still contain original Vulcanised Indian Rubber (VIR) cabling. This presents a significant fire risk that keeps homeowners awake at night. Our electricians use minimally invasive techniques to replace dangerous old wiring without damaging your home’s valuable ceiling roses, cornices, or period features.

Working in Essendon requires more than electrical knowledge. It demands understanding of Moonee Valley City Council’s strict Heritage Overlays (HO). Our electricians have proven experience making sure all electrical work preserves your property’s architectural integrity while meeting modern safety standards.
Whether you’re installing new metre boxes, external lighting, or solar panel conduits, we strategically plan placements to comply with heritage aesthetic controls. This industry experience is particularly crucial for homes near Essendon North Village and other heritage-protected areas, where even minor external modifications require careful consideration.

Experience the difference of exceptional customer service
How do you protect period features during electrical work?
Our electricians use specialised techniques for working with lath and plaster walls, carefully routing cables to avoid damage to ceiling roses, cornices, and other decorative elements. We’ve perfected methods that lower disruption while providing extensive electrical upgrades.
Can you upgrade my switchboard without violating Heritage Overlay requirements?
Absolutely. We have wide-ranging experience working within Moonee Valley City Council’s Heritage Overlay guidelines. We strategically position new electrical infrastructure to maintain your property’s street appeal while meeting modern safety requirements.
What should I do if storm damage affects my power lines?
Never attempt to handle damaged power lines yourself. Call our 24/7 emergency service immediately at 1300 138 332. We’ll respond quickly so that your safety comes first and restore power as quickly as possible.
How often should heritage homes have electrical inspections?
Given the age of wiring in many Essendon properties, we recommend professional electrical safety assessments every 3-5 years, or immediately if you notice flickering lights, frequent power trips, or burning smells.
Do you handle complete home rewiring?
Yes, complete home rewiring is one of our specialties. We use minimally invasive techniques specifically developed for period homes, providing your property’s architectural integrity remains intact while bringing electrical systems up to modern safety standards.
