Your beautiful Edwardian or Californian Bungalow represents more than just bricks and mortar. It’s your family’s sanctuary and likely your most valuable asset. As the trusted electricians Glen Iris homeowners rely on, Day & Night Electrical understands the delicate balance between preserving architectural integrity and making sure of modern electrical safety.
In Glen Iris, many houses retain much of the original electrical systems installed decades before the current power-hungry lifestyles. From the tree-lined streets near Hedgeley Dene Gardens to the grand residences along High Street, these period homes require specialist electrical care that respects their unique construction while meeting contemporary safety standards.
Living in a Federation home or Californian Bungalow brings unique electrical challenges that generic electricians often overlook. The double-brick construction and lath-and-plaster walls that give these homes their distinctive charm also make electrical upgrades significantly more complex than in modern properties.
Behind your home’s elegant façade, deteriorating vulcanised rubber wiring (common in pre-1960s Glen Iris properties) may struggle to cope with multiple air conditioners, EV chargers, and high-end kitchen appliances. This outdated infrastructure isn’t just inefficient; it’s potentially dangerous, creating fire risks that insurance companies increasingly recognise as serious hazards.
The mature Oak, Elm, and Eucalyptus trees that make our suburb so appealing, particularly around the Gardiners Creek corridor, pose another challenge. During Melbourne’s fierce storms, these magnificent trees can damage overhead power lines and private service connections, causing power surges that destroy expensive electronics or leave families without electricity for days.

Your old fuse box constantly tripping isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a warning sign that your home’s electrical heart can’t handle modern demands. Glen Iris’s high adoption of technology, from Tesla Powerwalls to sophisticated home automation systems, has pushed pre-1960s electrical infrastructure well beyond its limits.
Day & Night Electrical specialises in heritage-sensitive switchboard upgrades that protect your family while preserving your home’s character. Our industry experts understand the construction methods specific to Glen Iris’s period homes, providing minimal disruption to original plasterwork and timber features during installation.
Our approach begins with an extensive assessment of your existing electrical system, identifying potential hazards while planning upgrades that respect your home’s architectural integrity. We navigate the specific requirements of properties that fall under both City of Boroondara and City of Stonnington jurisdictions.
Whether your residence faces High Street’s bustling thoroughfare or nestles in the quieter streets near Hedgeley Dene Gardens, we make sure that your upgraded switchboard meets current Australian safety standards while remaining discreetly positioned to maintain your home’s period aesthetic.
Installing modern conveniences like EV chargers or smart home systems in a Californian Bungalow requires more than technical knowledge. It demands an understanding of how to integrate 21st-century technology without compromising your home’s classic appeal.
Our team excels at discretely incorporating Tesla Powerwalls, electric vehicle charging stations, and sophisticated automation systems into period properties. We understand that in Glen Iris, where property values reflect both location and architectural integrity, any modification must improve rather than detract from your home’s street appeal.
The dense canopy of mature trees makes Glen Iris particularly vulnerable during Melbourne’s storm season. Properties near Gardiners Creek face extra challenges, with potential flood overlay requirements demanding specific electrical safety measures. Our surge protection services safeguard your valuable electronics and appliances from power fluctuations caused by storm-damaged lines.
As specialists serving Glen Iris for over 20 years, Day & Night Electrical brings unmatched local knowledge to every project. Our electricians understand the unique challenges of working with double-brick construction and the care required when running new wiring through lath-and-plaster walls without causing damage.
Glen Iris’s split between two council jurisdictions means electrical work tied to renovations must navigate different sets of strict heritage overlay requirements. Our proven industry experience with both Boroondara and Stonnington planning schemes confirms your electrical upgrades proceed smoothly without compliance issues that could delay your project or impact your property’s heritage status.
From Federation homes requiring complete rewiring to Edwardian residences needing discrete outdoor lighting installation, we’ve successfully modernised hundreds of Glen Iris properties while maintaining their period charm. Our 24/7 emergency service means we’re always available when storm damage or electrical faults threaten your family’s safety.
Melbourne’s unpredictable weather and Glen Iris’s mature tree coverage create a perfect storm for electrical emergencies. When power surges threaten your electronics or storm damage leaves you without electricity, our 24/7 emergency electricians respond immediately.
Our quick response team understands the specific vulnerabilities of Glen Iris properties, from ageing terracotta roofs that leak during heavy rain (creating heightened risks for outdated wiring in roof cavities) to the impact of fallen branches on private service connections. We arrive equipped to handle emergency repairs while planning long-term services that prevent future issues.
The current Glen Iris families expect their heritage homes to support contemporary lifestyles. Multiple air conditioning units, home offices with sophisticated technology, electric vehicle charging, and smart home automation all need proper electrical support. Our knowledge confirms these modern demands don’t compromise your home’s safety or character.

Can you upgrade my electrical system without damaging my home's heritage features?
Absolutely. Our electricians specialise in techniques specifically designed for Glen Iris’s period homes, including careful routing through double-brick walls and preservation of lath-and-plaster surfaces. We understand the irreplaceable value of original architectural features and plan every installation to lower impact.
