SBH Electrical is a licensed electrician in Fitzroy for homes, apartments, shops and offices.

Fitzroy’s streets mix narrow Victorian terraces, converted warehouses and busy shopfronts on Brunswick Street, Gertrude Street, Smith Street and Johnston Street. Each brings its own electrical challenges, and we know them well.

Our electricians are led by Registered Master Electrician Sam Hooper (REC 31543). Every job starts with a free, upfront quote and finishes with a clean site and the right paperwork, including a Certificate of Electrical Safety when the work needs one.

For emergencies, we’re available 24/7.

Electrical services in Fitzroy

1. Switchboards and safety switches

Older Fitzroy terraces often still have ceramic fuses or only partial safety switch (RCD) protection. We upgrade switchboards and add RCDs so every circuit is protected. Here’s what a switchboard upgrade costs.

2. Kitchen and bathroom upgrades

New ovens, cooktops, rangehoods and dishwashers often need their own circuits. We wire them, update switches and power points, and test everything before handover. See the Fitzroy kitchen project below.

3. Lighting and power points

Downlights, pendants, feature and outdoor lighting, extra power points and USB outlets, for homes and for shopfronts.

4. Rewiring period homes

Many Fitzroy homes have wiring that has been patched over decades. We rewire in stages where possible to keep disruption low. Read how house rewiring works.

5. Split systems, EV chargers and ceiling fans

We install split systems, home EV chargers and ceiling fans, and first check that your switchboard can handle the extra load.

6. Data and CCTV

Data points, TV outlets and security cameras. See CCTV installation in Fitzroy.

Working in Fitzroy’s homes and buildings

• Terraces and workers’ cottages: narrow roof spaces, shared walls and original heritage features make cable runs harder, so we plan the route carefully before any work starts.
• Warehouse conversions: high ceilings and long runs suit track lighting and pendants, but older sub-circuits often need checking first.
• Apartments: switchboards and meters are often in shared areas, so access is arranged with the building manager or owners corporation. See our apartment and strata electrical work.
• Shop-top homes: a shop below and a home above can mean separate supplies and older wiring that needs a safety check.

Local Fitzroy electrical project: kitchen renovation

Hannah contacted SBH Electrical during a kitchen renovation in Fitzroy. She needed new appliance connections, updated switches and power points, and a check on whether the existing oven framing was suitable.

Problem

• A new oven, cooktop and rangehood needed installing.
• New dedicated circuits and power points were required.
• Existing switches and outlets needed updating.
• The framing under the oven needed checking for adequate support.

Solution

• Made the existing oven, cooktop and exhaust fan safe before the renovation.
• Installed new switches and power points throughout.
• Wired dedicated connections for the microwave, dishwasher, cooktop, rangehood, exhaust fan and oven.
• Installed the new oven and cooktop.
• Inspected the solid-timber oven support and confirmed it was suitable.

Result The new appliances are installed and operating safely. All work was tested to AS/NZS 3000:2018, with a documented recommendation for the oven framing if issues arise later.
