If you’re living in one of Bundoora’s classic post-war brick homes, you’re likely worried about whether your electrical system can safely handle your family’s modern power needs. The demand on older electrical systems has increased dramatically as families run multiple devices, air conditioners, and modern appliances simultaneously.
As knowledgeable electricians in Bundoora, Day & Night Electrical specialises in upgrading the electrical systems of homes built between the 1960s and 1980s. We understand the unique challenges these solid brick veneer properties present and provide extensive services to make sure your family stays safe and comfortable.
The most frustrating issue facing Bundoora families is frequent power tripping. When your kids are on their devices, you’re using the air fryer, and the air conditioner is running, your 1970s switchboard simply can’t handle the load. These older systems were never designed for today’s electrical demands, leading to constant interruptions and potential safety hazards.
Our licensed electricians in Bundoora specialise in extensive switchboard upgrades, replacing outdated ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs). This not only eliminates the frustration of constant tripping but provides crucial protection against electrical fires and shocks. [Give us a call 1300 138 332] to discuss how we can modernise your home’s electrical system.
Living near the mature eucalypts along Darebin Creek or the tree-lined streets off Grimshaw Street means facing increased risk during Melbourne’s fierce storms. The combination of large River Red Gums and overhead power lines creates a perfect storm for power surges that can fry your expensive electronics and appliances.
We install whole-home surge protectors that shield your entire electrical system from voltage spikes. This is particularly important for properties near Bundoora Park or bordering Gresswell Forest Nature Conservation Reserve, where storm damage to power infrastructure is more common.
Understanding the construction of Bundoora’s dominant housing stock – the classic brick veneer home – is crucial for efficient electrical upgrades. Our team has extensive experience working within these structures, knowing exactly how to run new wiring with minimal disruption to your walls and daily life.
Whether you’re near La Trobe University or in the quieter residential streets around RMIT, we navigate the unique requirements of your property. Bundoora’s split across the City of Whittlesea, City of Darebin, and Nillumbik Shire means different planning schemes and building regulations apply depending on your exact location. Our electricians in Bundoora are knowledgeable in complying with all three councils’ requirements, making sure your electrical work meets all necessary standards regardless of which part of Bundoora you call home.
Today’s Bundoora families need more than just basic electrical service. With children using multiple devices for schoolwork and entertainment, parents working from home, and the essential comfort of air conditioning during summer, your electrical system must be both safe and capable. We provide:

How do I know if my Bundoora home needs a switchboard upgrade?
If your home still has ceramic fuses, experiences frequent power trips when running multiple appliances, or lacks safety switches, it’s time for an upgrade. Homes built in Bundoora during the 1960s-1980s typically need modernisation to handle today’s electrical loads safely. Signs include flickering lights, warm power points, and the inability to run the air conditioner simultaneously with other appliances.
What electrical work requires council approval in Bundoora?
Since Bundoora spans three councils, requirements vary by location. Generally, major electrical work including switchboard relocations, new circuits for pools or spas, and electrical work for granny flats requires approval. Our team handles the complexity of determining which council governs your property and makes sure we obtain all necessary permits.
How can I protect my electronics from storm damage?
With Bundoora’s mature tree canopy and overhead power lines, surge protection is essential. We recommend whole-home surge protectors installed at your switchboard, providing extensive protection for all connected devices. This is particularly important during Melbourne’s storm season when tree-related power surges are common.
Do you offer same-day emergency service in Bundoora?
Yes, our 24/7 emergency electricians serve all areas of Bundoora, from properties near Mount Cooper to homes along Darebin Creek. We understand that power outages and electrical faults can’t wait, especially when they affect your family’s safety and comfort. Our rapid response team is always ready to help.
What's involved in making my older Bundoora home electrically safe?
An extensive safety upgrade typically includes switchboard modernisation with safety switches, surge protection installation, updating old wiring where necessary, adding sufficient power points to eliminate extension cord use, and making sure smoke alarms meet current standards. We provide detailed safety audits that identify specific risks in your home.
Don’t wait for a summer heatwave to find your switchboard can’t handle the air conditioning load. Protect your family and modernise your classic Bundoora home’s electrical system today. [Give us a call on 1300 138 332] for an extensive electrical safety assessment from Melbourne’s trusted 24/7 electrical specialists.
