When your Victorian or Edwardian home’s electrical system needs attention, you need more than just standard electrical services. The grand period homes that define Malvern’s character require electricians who understand how to modernise essential systems without compromising architectural integrity. Day & Night Electrical brings over 20 years of industry experience to Malvern, specialising in safe electrical upgrades that preserve your property’s unique heritage value.
We understand our clients are time-poor and demand the highest standards of reliability and knowledge for their properties. Our team combines modern electrical services with meticulous care for period features, making sure that your home remains both safe and beautiful.
Living in a heritage property brings unique electrical concerns that generic electricians often struggle to address properly. Our knowledgeable team regularly encounters these specific challenges throughout Malvern’s Victorian and Edwardian homes.
Original electrical systems in period homes weren’t designed for today’s power demands. When multiple modern appliances run at the same time, aged switchboards struggle to cope, leading to frequent tripping and potential fire risks. We specialise in switchboard upgrades that increase capacity while respecting your home’s original features. Our electricians understand how to run new cabling through double-brick walls and work carefully around lath-and-plaster ceilings, preventing the extensive damage that less knowledgeable contractors often cause.

Many Malvern homes still contain original VIR or knob-and-tube wiring concealed behind ornate plasterwork and ceiling roses. This ageing infrastructure poses serious safety risks but replacing it requires specialist knowledge to avoid destroying irreplaceable architectural details. Our team has perfected non-destructive techniques for rewiring period properties, achieving modern safety standards without sacrificing historical character.
All our work respects the City of Stonnington’s strict Heritage Overlays, making sure any external or significant internal electrical work preserves your home’s architectural integrity and complies with the local planning scheme. We understand that your property represents both a significant financial investment and an important piece of Malvern’s architectural heritage.
Installing an electric vehicle charger on a Victorian facade requires careful planning to meet Stonnington’s heritage guidelines. Our electricians have developed discreet installation methods that provide modern convenience without compromising your home’s street appeal. We position charging units thoughtfully, often utilising side passages or rear access points to maintain the property’s original front presentation.
Modern smart home technology can improve your lifestyle without detracting from period charm. We specialise in sympathetic installations that hide modern conveniences behind traditional facades. From smart lighting that works with original switch plates to discrete security systems, we make sure technology complements rather than dominates your heritage interiors.

Experience the difference of exceptional customer service
How do you install modern electrical systems without damaging heritage features?
We use specialised techniques developed specifically for period homes, including fishing cables through existing cavities, utilising original conduit paths where possible, and carefully removing and reinstalling decorative elements when necessary. Our electricians are trained to identify and preserve architectural details that less knowledgeable contractors might overlook or damage.
Can you install an EV charger that complies with heritage requirements?
Yes, we work within Stonnington Council’s Heritage Overlay guidelines to install EV chargers discretely. We typically recommend positioning on side walls or in rear areas, using colours that blend with existing brickwork, and routing cables internally where possible to minimise visual impact.
What should I do if my old switchboard keeps tripping?
Frequent tripping indicates your electrical system struggles with modern power demands. Don’t ignore this warning sign as it poses a fire risk. We can assess your current setup and recommend appropriate upgrades that increase capacity while respecting your home’s heritage character. Our [switchboard upgrade] service is specifically designed for period properties.
Do you provide emergency service during storms?
Absolutely. We operate 24/7 and understand the particular vulnerabilities of Malvern’s tree-lined streets during severe weather. Our emergency electricians respond quickly to storm damage, especially when falling branches affect power lines or cause electrical hazards.
How do you make sure work complies with both safety standards and heritage requirements?
We maintain extensive knowledge of both Australian electrical safety standards and local heritage regulations. Every project begins with understanding applicable requirements, and we document compliance throughout the work. Our licence REC33579 and insurance provide additional peace of mind that all work meets required standards.
