When you own a beautiful Federation or Californian Bungalow home in Burwood, you understand the delicate balance between preserving its historic charm and making sure that it meets modern electrical demands. Many homeowners in this vibrant suburb face a concerning reality – their beloved character homes contain electrical systems that simply weren’t designed for today’s technology-driven lifestyle. Day & Night Electrical specialises in providing expert electrical services that respect your home’s heritage while delivering the safety and functionality your family needs.
Burwood’s unique housing landscape, with its mix of grand period homes along Appian Way and modern apartments near Burwood Road, requires electricians who understand both heritage preservation and cutting-edge electrical services. With Burwood’s population density, the demand on aging electrical infrastructure has never been greater. Our knowledgeable team brings 20 years of expertise to every project, making sure that your home remains both beautiful and electrically safe.
Living in one of Burwood’s character homes comes with unique electrical challenges that generic electricians often overlook. The original 80+ year-old wiring and fuse boxes found in many Federation homes along streets like Conder Street and Livingstone Street weren’t designed to handle modern electrical loads. When summer heatwaves hit, these outdated systems struggle to cope with air conditioning demands, causing frequent circuit breaker trips and potentially dangerous situations.
The architectural beauty of Burwood’s heritage homes was designed decades before the proliferation of modern electronics. Today’s families need multiple power points for laptops, televisions, kitchen appliances, and charging stations – demands that these homes simply weren’t built to accommodate.
Our electricians in Burwood specialise in adding power points and upgrading circuits while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of your period home. We understand how to work with double brick walls and delicate lath and plaster, making sure that minimal disruption occurs to your home’s original features.

If your Burwood home still has visible ceramic fuses or a switchboard with crumbling wire insulation, you’re looking at clear signs of an electrical system at the end of its life. These outdated components pose serious safety risks, especially during Sydney’s intense summer thunderstorms when water ingress can cause dangerous short circuits in degraded pre-war wiring systems.
Day & Night Electrical provides wide-ranging electrical upgrades that transform your character home’s electrical system while respecting its architectural heritage. Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of your existing electrical infrastructure, identifying potential hazards and planning upgrades that comply with current Australian safety standards.
We specialise in complete switchboard replacements and home rewiring projects specifically designed for Burwood’s older housing stock. Our electricians understand the unique challenges of working within Heritage Conservation Areas and make sure that all work complies with the Burwood Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012. This expertise is vital when upgrading meter boxes or installing modern safety switches in properties within the Appian Way heritage precinct.
Our rewiring services address the root cause of electrical problems in older homes – deteriorated wiring that can’t handle modern electrical loads. We carefully plan each project to minimise disruption to your home’s original features while installing strong, safe electrical systems designed for 21st-century living.
Beyond essential safety upgrades, we help Burwood homeowners adopt modern technology through smart home services. From installing EV chargers to integrating smart lighting and climate control systems, we make sure that your heritage home offers all the conveniences of modern living. Our team expertly handles both strata management rules for apartment blocks and heritage requirements for freestanding homes, delivering services that work within Burwood’s diverse property landscape.
As electricians deeply familiar with Burwood’s unique housing mix, we understand the specific electrical challenges faced by local residents. From the grand Federation homes that define much of the suburb’s character to the modern high-rise apartments around Westfield Burwood, each property type requires specialised electrical knowledge and a tailored approach.
Our 24/7 emergency service makes sure that you’re never left without power during critical moments. Whether it’s a sudden outage during a family gathering or a dangerous electrical fault uncovered late at night, our quick response team is always ready. This round-the-clock availability is especially vital given Burwood’s mature street trees, which can damage overhead service lines during storms, creating unexpected electrical emergencies.
We take pride in our preservation-minded approach to electrical safety. Unlike generic electrical contractors who might damage your home’s delicate features, our team combines technical expertise with respect for architectural heritage. We don’t just upgrade your power – we protect your home’s history while securing your family’s electrical future.

Experience the difference of exceptional customer service
Can you upgrade my Federation home's electrical system without damaging the original features?
Absolutely. Our electricians specialise in working with heritage properties throughout Burwood. We use techniques that minimise impact on original features like decorative plaster work and period fixtures while installing modern, safe electrical systems.
How do I know if my older Burwood home needs rewiring?
Warning signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells from outlets, or visible ceramic fuses in your switchboard. Homes built before the 1960s typically require wide-ranging electrical upgrades to meet modern safety standards.
Do you handle electrical work that requires Burwood Council approval?
Yes, we’re knowledgeable in handling Burwood Council requirements, including work within Heritage Conservation Areas. We make sure that all electrical upgrades comply with the Burwood Local Environmental Plan (LEP) 2012 and obtain necessary approvals where required.
What should I do if my power fails during a storm?
First, check if your neighbours have power. If it’s just your home, check your switchboard for tripped breakers. If you can’t restore power or notice any burning smells or sparking, call our 24/7 emergency service immediately on 1300 138 332.
