Electrician Bundoora

Yes, all of it. From the established streets around Bundoora Park to the newer homes at University Hill, we're around ten minutes from our Lower Plenty base and in the suburb regularly. Call 1300 215 193 and we'll confirm coverage for your street on the spot.

Everything a home or business is likely to need: switchboard upgrades, EV charger installation, LED downlights, powerpoints, smoke alarms, CCTV and security cameras, fault finding, data cabling, outdoor power, rental property safety checks, and full electrical work for renovations. Commercial jobs around University Hill, Polaris 3083 and the Plenty Road strip are part of the regular workload too.

Every job is different, so we don't hide behind generic hourly rates. We assess the work first, then give you a written quote before anything starts, and what's quoted is what you pay. No variations on the day. Most enquiries hear back from us the same day they call.

Yes, and with the rental market around La Trobe University and RMIT Bundoora, these checks are a big part of our local work. Victorian law requires rented homes to have an electrical safety check by a licensed electrician every two years. We carry out the full check, provide the compliance documentation your property manager needs, and can quote any rectification work on the same visit.

Often, yes. Large parts of Bundoora were developed through the 1970s and 80s, and many homes on those estates still carry their original boards, some with ceramic fuses and no safety switches. A board of that age was never designed for modern loads. We'll inspect yours and give you a straight answer about whether it needs upgrading, not a reflex recommendation.

Yes. We check your switchboard capacity, recommend a charger suited to your vehicle and driving patterns, and install to Australian standards with certification on completion. In Bundoora's 70s and 80s estate homes the deciding factor is usually board capacity, and where an upgrade is needed we include it in the written quote and complete both jobs in one visit where possible.

Worth checking before you book the install, because retrofitting capacity afterward always costs more. Air conditioning adds sustained load that original estate-era circuits may not have headroom for. We'll test your board and circuits, tell you plainly what they can support, and add capacity where needed so the new system runs safely from day one.

Constantly. High-occupancy share houses and units work their electrical systems harder than most homes, so we handle everything from tripping circuits and worn powerpoints through to smoke alarm compliance and the two-yearly safety checks. We coordinate directly with landlords and property managers, and provide the paperwork trail agencies require.

Yes. Working smoke alarms are mandatory in every Victorian home, and rentals face stricter requirements again, with alarms needing annual testing under the rental minimum standards. We install, test and replace alarms for owner-occupiers and landlords alike, and every residential visit includes a free safety check.

Yes. Bitz Electrical holds a Registered Electrical Contractors Licence (31813), is fully insured and is a member of Master Electricians Australia. Every electrician who works on your property is fully licensed, and eligible work comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion.

Yes. Repeated tripping, flickering lights or dead powerpoints all point to an underlying fault, and we track it down systematically rather than resetting the switch and hoping. In Bundoora the culprit is frequently an overloaded original circuit or an ageing board, and in busy rental properties, decades of accumulated wear. Either way, we find it and fix it properly.

Always. You'll receive a written quote covering the full scope before any work begins. What's quoted is what you pay, with no variations added afterward.
