Living in one of Sunshine’s classic weatherboard or brick veneer homes comes with character, but it can also bring some issues about the safety of its decades-old wiring. If you’re concerned about whether your home’s electrical system can handle modern appliances or if those flickering lights signal something more serious, you need local electricians in Sunshine who specialise in making these properties safe. Day & Night Electrical brings over 20 years of industry experience to every home, from the post-war houses near Ballarat Road to the modern townhouses around Sunshine Town Centre.
With rental properties making up 46.1% of dwellings in Sunshine and owned homes at 45.4%, there’s an almost even split between homeowners wanting to protect their investment and landlords needing to make sure of tenant safety [Source: ABS 2021 Census, Sunshine (Vic.)]. Whether you’re upgrading for your family’s peace of mind or meeting compliance requirements, our team understands the unique electrical challenges found in Sunshine’s housing stock.
The electrical systems in many Sunshine properties weren’t designed for today’s power demands. Houses built between the 1950s and 1970s, which make up a significant portion of the local housing stock, face specific challenges that require expert attention.
One of the most common issues we see is the predictable strain on older switchboards during summer heatwaves when air conditioners are running full-blast across the suburb. Your safety switch keeps tripping every time you run the new air conditioner alongside the oven because ageing switchboards in Sunshine’s post-war housing stock were never designed for these high-load appliances. This isn’t just an inconvenience – it’s a safety concern that needs immediate attention from knowledgeable electricians in Sunshine who understand these specific systems.
Our service involves wide-ranging switchboard upgrades that bring your home’s electrical capacity in line with modern requirements. We make sure that your upgraded system can handle everything from air conditioning to electric vehicle chargers, all while meeting Victorian electrical safety standards.
[Give us a call 1300 138 332] to discuss your switchboard upgrade needs today.
Homes built 50-70 years ago had minimal electrical outlets, creating a dangerous reliance on extension cords and power boards in today’s device-heavy households. This clash between old infrastructure and modern family needs is particularly evident in Sunshine’s rapidly developing areas.
We provide strategic power point installations that eliminate the need for dangerous daisy-chaining of power boards. Our electricians assess your family’s specific needs and install additional outlets where you need them most, whether that’s in the kitchen for modern appliances or the home office for your technology setup.
Many properties between Ballarat Road and Kororoit Creek still have original wiring systems, including black-cabled or cloth-wired installations that pose significant safety risks. These systems deteriorate over time, especially after periods of heavy winter rain that can affect sub-floor wiring conditions – a common issue given Sunshine’s flat topography.
Our extensive experience with Sunshine’s diverse housing stock means we can provide tailored services for every property type in the area.
These charming properties require special attention to preserve their character while making sure of electrical safety. We understand the common failure points in original mid-century switchboards and can upgrade your system without compromising your home’s aesthetic appeal. For any homes covered by a Brimbank City Council heritage overlay, we make sure all external electrical work is conducted sympathetically to the building’s character.
The solid construction of these homes often hides ageing electrical systems that need updating. Our electricians in Sunshine have specific experience with the wiring configurations common in these properties and can efficiently upgrade circuits, install safety switches, and add modern conveniences like smart home technology.
Even newer properties in Sunshine’s growing development areas need professional electrical services. From installing electric vehicle chargers to setting up extensive smart home systems, we help modern homeowners maximise their property’s potential while making sure all work complies with Brimbank City Council planning schemes.

As Melbourne-based electricians with over 20 years of experience, we’ve built our reputation on understanding the specific needs of each suburb we serve. In Sunshine, that means recognising the unique challenges posed by the area’s mix of heritage properties and modern developments.
Our team regularly services homes throughout Sunshine, from properties near the busy Sunshine train station to quieter streets along Kororoit Creek. We understand that the ongoing gentrification and desire to modernise properties in Sunshine creates a gap between old infrastructure and new technology – and we’re here to bridge that gap safely and efficiently.
The flat topography of Sunshine generally allows for easy site access, but our experience has taught us to check for water damage to sub-floor wiring, especially after winter storms. This local knowledge means we can identify and address potential issues that generic electricians might miss.
