Living in a classic 1970s brick veneer home near Greensborough Plaza or along the leafy streets of Apollo Parkways? With almost 60% of households in Greensborough having families with children, well above the Victorian average, we understand that family safety is your number one priority [Source: Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2021 Census QuickStats for Greensborough].
At Day & Night Electrical, the electricians Greensborough families trust transform older homes into safe, modern living spaces. Our team specialises in the unique challenges of post-war weatherboards and 1970s/80s brick veneer constructions, whose original wiring never met the demands of a modern, device-heavy family lifestyle.
The majority of homes in Greensborough share a common problem – electrical systems installed decades ago that struggle to keep up with today’s demands. Those constant circuit trips when you run the air conditioner and microwave together? The flickering lights in your kitchen? These aren’t just minor annoyances – they’re warning signs that your home’s electrical infrastructure needs attention.
Original wiring in 70s and 80s homes across Greensborough suited a different era. Back then, families didn’t have multiple computers, gaming consoles, heat pumps, and modern kitchen appliances all demanding power simultaneously. Today’s reality differs vastly, and those ageing systems get pushed beyond their limits daily.
The ceramic fuse boxes common in these homes lack the safety features of modern switchboards. Without RCD (safety switch) protection on every circuit, your family faces unnecessary exposure to electrical hazards. Our expert electricians in Greensborough assess your current system and provide an extensive upgrade that brings your home into the 21st century safely.

Living near the beautiful Plenty River comes with its own electrical challenges. The constant threat of power outages and service line damage from falling branches from Greensborough’s dense canopy of gum trees during high winds puts your family’s comfort and expensive electronics at risk. We’ve seen the aftermath of storm damage throughout the suburb, from Grimshaw Street to the hillier sections near Apollo Parkways.
