When protecting your Kew property’s electrical safety and functionality matters, you need electricians who understand the unique challenges of working in one of Melbourne’s most prestigious suburbs. We recognise that your property represents a significant investment deserving specialist electrical care. Day & Night Electrical brings over 20 years of experience serving Kew’s grand Victorian, Federation, and Edwardian homes, providing expert electrical services that preserve your home’s character while making sure of modern safety and convenience.
Whether you’re dealing with overloaded circuits in a heritage home near Kew Junction or need urgent storm damage repairs after Melbourne’s seasonal storms, our team of licensed electricians in Kew responds quickly with services tailored to your property’s specific requirements. We understand the delicate balance between upgrading your home’s electrical capacity and maintaining its architectural integrity within the City of Boroondara’s strict Heritage Overlay requirements.
Living in one of Melbourne’s most established suburbs comes with unique electrical challenges that require specialist knowledge and experience. Many of Kew’s stunning period homes were built when electrical demands were minimal, creating specific issues for modern homeowners.
The century-old wiring found in many properties along Studley Park Road and throughout Kew’s leafy streets never had to handle contemporary electrical loads. When you try to run modern kitchen appliances, home office equipment, or climate control systems, your circuits may trip repeatedly. This isn’t just inconvenient – it’s a sign that your home’s electrical infrastructure needs professional attention.
Our knowledgeable electricians in Kew specialise in heritage rewiring that modernises your home’s electrical capacity while preserving irreplaceable features like ornate ceiling roses and original cornices. We understand how to work with lath-and-plaster walls and navigate the challenges of double-brick construction without compromising your home’s structural or aesthetic integrity.

Kew’s magnificent canopy of mature Elm and Oak trees creates a beautiful streetscape, but during Melbourne’s fierce seasonal storms, these trees pose a significant risk to overhead power lines. The combination of dense tree coverage, hilly terrain, and ageing infrastructure makes properties particularly vulnerable to power surges and outages.
We provide extensive surge protection services that safeguard your expensive electronics, home automation systems, and essential appliances. Our team responds quickly to storm-related emergencies, understanding that power issues can’t wait when your home security, refrigeration, or medical equipment is at stake.
Integrating contemporary electrical conveniences into heritage properties requires specialised knowledge. Our team excels at finding creative services that meet your modern lifestyle needs while respecting your home’s architectural character.
With many Kew residents adopting electric vehicles, the challenge becomes installing charging infrastructure without compromising your property’s kerb appeal. Standard EV charger installations can look jarring against a Victorian or Edwardian facade, potentially violating City of Boroondara Heritage Overlay aesthetic requirements.

How do you handle electrical work in heritage-listed properties?
We specialise in heritage properties, understanding how to upgrade electrical systems while preserving architectural features. We navigate council requirements, use concealed wiring techniques, and select period-appropriate fixtures to maintain your home’s character while making sure of modern safety and functionality.
What should I do if my power goes out during a storm?
First, check if your neighbours have power to determine if it’s a local outage. If it’s just your property, check your switchboard for tripped circuits. For safety, avoid going outside during storms. Call our 24/7 emergency line at 1300 138 332 for immediate assistance.
Can you install modern appliances in older Kew homes?
Absolutely. We regularly upgrade electrical systems in period homes to support modern appliances. This often involves switchboard upgrades, new circuits, and careful cable routing to preserve your home’s features while providing the capacity needed for contemporary living.
How often should electrical systems in older homes be inspected?
For Kew’s older properties, we recommend professional inspections every 5 years, or immediately if you notice warning signs like flickering lights, burning smells, or frequently tripping circuits. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become safety hazards.
Do you work with Body Corporates for townhouse complexes?
Yes, we provide extensive electrical services for Body Corporates, including emergency repairs, preventive maintenance, and compliance testing for common areas and individual units.
