Living in one of Mulgrave’s classic brick veneer homes offers fantastic family life, but the original 50-year-old wiring may not be up to the loads of the modern life full of electrical appliances. If you’re tired of tripping circuits or concerned about an old fuse box, our specialist electricians in Mulgrave provide the essential safety upgrades and modern solutions to give you complete peace of mind.
We know you are deeply invested in the safety and value of your property. At Day & Night Electrical, we understand the unique electrical challenges faced by homeowners in this established suburb, particularly anyone interested in the area’s characteristic single-storey brick veneer homes built during the 1960s-80s construction boom.
The solid brick veneer homes that line streets near Waverley Gardens Shopping Centre were built to last, but their electrical systems were designed for a different era. The current era’s modern family lifestyle, with multiple devices, air conditioners, and high-powered appliances, places demands on wiring that simply didn’t exist 50 years ago.
Our knowledgeable electricians in Mulgrave frequently encounter these critical issues:
The original circuits in many Mulgrave homes were never designed to handle the simultaneous load of the current era’s technology-filled lifestyle.

A modern switchboard upgrade is the foundation of electrical safety in older homes. Our licensed electricians in Mulgrave specialise in replacing outdated ceramic fuse boxes with contemporary switchboards featuring:
We understand the specific wiring configurations found in Mulgrave’s post-war brick homes. Unlike generic electricians, we know exactly what to expect behind the plasterboard, leading to faster, more accurate fault-finding and safer upgrades. Our team makes sure that all work complies with both Victorian safety standards and the City of Monash Planning Scheme requirements, particularly important for properties near the Dandenong Creek corridor where special building overlays may apply.
Our systematic approach begins with a thorough assessment of your existing electrical infrastructure. We inspect the condition of your current switchboard, test circuit capacity, and identify any immediate safety concerns. During the upgrade, we carefully transition your home’s power supply to the new switchboard, confirming minimal disruption to your daily routine.
Every switchboard upgrade includes extensive testing to verify proper earth leakage protection and circuit isolation. We provide clear documentation of all work performed, giving you peace of mind and adding value to your property.
As Mulgrave’s trusted electrical specialists, we bring unique local knowledge to every job. We understand the challenges posed by large gum trees in local parks and backyards, which can damage overhead power lines during Melbourne’s storm season. Properties along Police Road and near the Monash Freeway require particular attention to surge protection due to their exposure to electrical interference.
Our team’s wide-ranging experience with Mulgrave’s housing stock means we can quickly identify and resolve issues that might puzzle electricians unfamiliar with the area. Whether you’re in one of the original brick veneers near Wellington Road or a modern townhouse development, we have the industry experience to make sure that your electrical systems meet current safety standards.
The City of Monash’s focus on Environmentally Sustainable Design (ESD) in renovations influences many electrical decisions. Our electricians in Mulgrave stay current with these requirements, helping you choose energy-efficient lighting and appliance circuits that comply with council guidelines while reducing your energy costs.

How do I know if my Mulgrave home needs a switchboard upgrade?
Signs that indicate you need a switchboard upgrade include frequent circuit breaker trips, old ceramic fuses, lack of safety switches, burning smells near the switchboard, or inability to run multiple appliances simultaneously. Homes built before 1990 typically require upgrades to meet current safety standards. If your home still has its original 1960s-80s switchboard, it’s time for a professional assessment.
What electrical work requires council approval in Mulgrave?
Major electrical work including switchboard upgrades and renovations in Mulgrave must comply with the City of Monash Planning Scheme. Any work affecting the electrical supply, adding new circuits, or part of broader renovations may require permits. Our team handles all necessary compliance documentation and confirms your electrical work meets both state regulations and local council requirements.
Why does my power keep tripping in my Mulgrave home?
Power tripping is commonly caused by overloaded circuits in older homes. When you use high-draw appliances like kettles, toasters, and microwaves simultaneously, circuits designed for 1970s power usage can’t cope. Other causes include faulty appliances, deteriorated wiring, or water ingress. Our electricians can diagnose the specific cause and implement appropriate services, from adding circuits to replacing damaged wiring.
