If you’re living in one of Chadstone’s classic post-war brick veneer homes and worried about whether your electrical system can handle modern demands, you’re not alone. Chadstone’s population is a dynamic mix of young families and professionals investing in their homes. Many are finding their original 1960s switchboards simply weren’t designed for today’s lifestyle – from home offices to air conditioning systems to the electric vehicles of tomorrow.
At Day & Night Electrical, we specialise in bridging the gap between Chadstone’s cherished heritage homes and modern electrical requirements. Our team understands the unique challenges of working with properties ranging from original 1950s brick veneers to contemporary townhouses near Chadstone Shopping Centre. With over 20 years of experience and over 300 five-star Google reviews, we’re the trusted electricians Chadstone homeowners turn to for everything from emergency repairs to complete electrical upgrades.
Living in Chadstone means dealing with specific electrical challenges that require local knowledge. Our electricians in Chadstone frequently encounter these critical issues that affect both safety and lifestyle:
Circuit Overload in Older Homes
Original 1960s switchboards in post-war homes weren’t designed for the high-draw appliances needed to cope with Melbourne’s summer heatwaves. When you’re running air conditioning, home office equipment, and modern kitchen appliances at the same time, these outdated systems simply can’t cope. The result? Constant circuit tripping that disrupts your daily life and potentially damages sensitive electronics.
Fire Hazards from Ageing Infrastructure
The prevalence of original, black-cased fuse boxes with asbestos backing boards in Chadstone’s older housing stock is a genuine safety concern. These systems lack modern RCD safety switches, leaving your family vulnerable to electrical hazards. Our team regularly finds brittle wiring behind double-brick walls that poses serious fire risks if left unaddressed.

Future-Proofing Challenges
As Chadstone families look to install EV chargers, solar systems, or simply add more power points, they often find their entire electrical system needs upgrading to meet current AS/NZS 3000 standards. The trend of renovating and extending classic homes means bringing electrical systems into the 21st century – a complex task that requires specialised knowledge of both old construction methods and modern requirements.
At Day & Night Electrical, we provide extensive services tailored to Chadstone’s unique housing stock and lifestyle needs:
We specialise in replacing outdated fuse boxes with modern switchboards featuring RCD safety switches.

Whether you’re near Gardiners Creek or along Waverley Road, we make sure that your upgrade meets all current safety standards while preparing your home for future technology.
During Melbourne’s storm season, falling branches from the beautiful gum trees lining Chadstone’s streets are a major cause of damage to private power poles and electrical connections. Our 24/7 emergency electricians respond quickly to restore power safely, preventing further damage to your property. We understand that electrical emergencies don’t follow business hours, which is why we’re available day and night throughout Chadstone.

What electrical issues are most common in Chadstone's older homes?
The most frequent problems we encounter include outdated switchboards unable to handle modern electrical loads, absence of safety switches (RCDs), brittle wiring in walls, and insufficient power points for contemporary lifestyles. Many post-war homes also have original fuse boxes with asbestos backing boards that require immediate attention for safety reasons.

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Signs your switchboard needs upgrading include frequent circuit tripping, flickering lights, burning smells, warm switches, or if you still have an old fuse box.
