Living in one of Seddon’s beautiful Victorian cottages or Edwardian homes brings unique charm, but ageing electrical systems can pose serious safety concerns for your family. At Day & Night Electrical, we understand the delicate balance between preserving your period home’s architectural integrity and making sure it meets the electrical demands of modern living in Melbourne’s inner west.
As knowledgeable electricians in Seddon, we specialise in carefully upgrading the electrical systems of the single-fronted Victorian and Edwardian cottages that define this suburb’s character. We recognise the critical importance of safe, reliable power for growing households juggling modern devices, home offices, and family life.
Your charming weatherboard on Harris Street or Victorian terrace near Charles Street wasn’t built for today’s electrical loads. Original fuse boxes and wiring installed decades ago struggle when you’re running air conditioners, multiple computers, kitchen appliances, and potentially an electric vehicle charger simultaneously. The result? Frequent power trips that disrupt your daily routine and signal a system pushed beyond its limits.
Beyond inconvenience lies a more serious concern: degraded wiring hidden within double brick walls and behind lath and plaster. These ageing systems pose genuine safety risks, particularly in homes with young children. Our team regularly encounters electrical infrastructure in Seddon homes that requires immediate attention to prevent potential hazards.
Many properties throughout Seddon Village fall under specific building regulations that require specialist knowledge. Our electricians understand the delicate nature of working with original ceiling roses, picture rails, and decorative cornices. We’ve developed techniques to run new wiring through double brick and lath-and-plaster walls without compromising these irreplaceable features.

Upgrading your electrical system doesn’t mean sacrificing your home’s character. Our extensive switchboard upgrades transform outdated fuse boxes into modern, safe distribution boards capable of handling contemporary electrical loads while maintaining a discrete presence in your home.
We specialise in strategic electrical planning that anticipates your family’s growing needs. Whether you’re installing ducted air conditioning for Melbourne’s increasingly hot summers, setting up a home office, or preparing for an electric vehicle, we make sure your electrical infrastructure can handle it all without constant trips to the switchboard.
Modern smart home technology can stress-free integrate into period homes when specialists who understand both systems install it. We carefully position smart switches, automated lighting, and energy monitoring systems to improve convenience while preserving original architectural details. Our approach makes technology serve your lifestyle without dominating your home’s aesthetic.

How do I know if my home in Seddon needs a switchboard upgrade?
Signs include frequent power trips, flickering lights, burning smells near the switchboard, or if you still have ceramic fuses. Homes built before 1980 typically require upgrades to handle modern electrical loads safely.

Yes, our electricians have experience working with period homes and understand the careful approach required to preserve architectural features while upgrading electrical systems.
What should I do in an electrical emergency?
First, keep everyone safe by turning off the main power switch if it’s safe to do so. Then call our 24/7 emergency line at 1300 138 332. Never attempt electrical repairs yourself.
How long does a typical switchboard upgrade take?
Most residential switchboard upgrades in Seddon homes can be completed in 4-6 hours, though complex properties may require additional time. We’ll provide a detailed timeline during your quote.
