Living in one of Campbellfield’s classic single-storey brick veneer homes brings a special kind of pride – but if your home was built between the 1960s and 1980s, your electrical system might be struggling to keep up with modern family life. At Day & Night Electrical, we understand the unique electrical challenges facing Campbellfield homeowners, from outdated fuse boxes to overloaded circuits that trip whenever you run the air conditioner on a hot Melbourne summer day.
We know you’re invested in your property’s long-term safety and value. That’s why our team specialises in upgrading and maintaining the electrical systems in post-war brick homes throughout the suburb, from quiet streets off Barry Road to properties closer to the Hume Highway.
The backbone of Campbellfield’s residential streets – those sturdy brick veneer homes built decades ago – face specific electrical challenges that require expert attention. Our knowledgeable electricians in Campbellfield see these issues regularly:
Outdated Ceramic Fuse Boxes
Many homes still have original ceramic fuse boxes that lack mandatory RCD safety switches. These old systems pose serious risks of electric shock and fire, especially during Melbourne’s sweltering summers when air conditioners run constantly.
Overloaded Circuits and Flickering Lights
The original wiring in 1970s brick homes wasn’t designed for the current era’s electrical demands. When you plug in the kettle while the air conditioner’s running, circuits trip and lights flicker – clear signs your system needs attention.
Insufficient Power Points
Post-war homes typically have minimal power points, forcing families to rely on dangerous daisy-chains of power boards for computers, TVs, and devices. This creates significant fire risks.

Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system, and if you’re living in a property built during Campbellfield’s post-war development boom, it’s likely overdue for an upgrade. We specialise in identifying and rectifying the common electrical faults inherent in Melbourne’s post-war architecture.
Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?
The combination of old brick homes and Melbourne summer heatwaves creates a perfect storm for switchboard overloads and electrical faults. Modern families use far more electrical devices than these systems were designed to handle:
