Electrical Services for Homes and Businesses in Eltham
Electricians Servicing Eltham
Bitz Electrical provides residential and commercial electrical services throughout Eltham and Melbourne's north east.
Eltham is known for its mix of established family homes, renovated properties and larger residential blocks. We regularly assist homeowners with switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, lighting upgrades, smoke alarms, fault finding and general electrical work.
Many homes in Eltham have been extended or renovated over time, often increasing the demand placed on existing electrical systems. As households add electric vehicles, air conditioning, induction cooking and home office setups, it is becoming increasingly common for switchboards and circuits to require upgrading to safely support modern usage.
Whether you need a new powerpoint installed, an electrical fault investigated or a complete switchboard replacement, our approach remains the same: provide clear advice, carry out compliant electrical work and leave the site safe and tidy.
Led by licensed electrician Jonathan Bitzikopoulos, Bitz Electrical has built its reputation on quality workmanship, honest communication and reliable service. We work with homeowners, landlords, builders and local businesses throughout Eltham and the surrounding area.

From a single powerpoint to a full switchboard replacement, no job is too small or too large.
How much does an electrician cost in Eltham?

What is quoted is what you pay, with no variations added on the day. For straightforward jobs we can give you a rough indication over the phone. Call 1300 215 193 to talk it through.
What electrical work is common in Eltham homes?
Eltham has a mix of established family homes, renovated properties and larger leafy blocks. We regularly carry out switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, lighting and downlight upgrades, powerpoints, smoke alarms, fault finding, security cameras and the electrical work that comes with renovations and extensions.
Do older Eltham homes often need switchboard upgrades?
Many do. A lot of Eltham homes were built before the electrical demands of modern households, and as properties add EV chargers, air conditioning, induction cooktops and home office equipment, ageing switchboards and circuits often need upgrading to keep up safely. We assess your board honestly and only recommend an upgrade if it is genuinely needed.
Can you install an EV charger at my home in Eltham?
Yes. We assess your existing switchboard and electrical capacity, recommend a charger suited to your vehicle and daily driving, and install it to AS/NZS 3000 standards. If a switchboard upgrade is needed first, we include it clearly in the quote so there are no surprises on the day.
Do you install security cameras and CCTV in Eltham?
Yes. We design and install CCTV and security camera systems for Eltham homes and businesses, planning placement carefully so coverage works around the area's treed blocks and stays compliant with privacy rules. Remote viewing is set up on your phone as part of every install.
Do you offer a free electrical safety inspection?
Yes. Every residential visit includes a visual inspection of your home's electrical systems. If we spot any safety concerns, defects or compliance issues, we explain them clearly and give you honest recommendations, with no pressure and no obligation to proceed.
Can you help with electrical faults and power outages in Eltham?
Yes. If your power keeps tripping, lights flicker, powerpoints fail or circuits behave unpredictably, we carry out systematic fault finding to locate and fix the actual cause rather than patching the symptom. Fault callouts are prioritised in our scheduling.
How quickly can you get to a job in Eltham?
We respond to enquiries within one business day and can usually schedule an assessment within a few days. We are not a 24-hour emergency service, but fault callouts are prioritised, and being based nearby in Lower Plenty means shorter travel times to Eltham. Call 1300 215 193 and we will give you a realistic timeframe on the spot.
Do you handle electrical work for renovations and extensions?
Yes. We regularly work with Eltham homeowners and builders on renovations, extensions and new builds, from rough-in wiring through to switchboard upgrades, lighting design, powerpoints and final fit-off. Getting us involved early means we can advise on cable routes and switchboard sizing before the walls close up.
Do you install and test smoke alarms in Eltham?
Yes. Victorian regulations require working smoke alarms in all homes, and interconnected photoelectric alarms in new builds and significant renovations. We install, test and replace smoke alarms, and check them as part of the safety inspection included with every residential visit.
Do you install lighting, downlights and powerpoints?
Yes. We install indoor and outdoor lighting, LED downlights, security and garden lighting, additional powerpoints, USB outlets and dedicated circuits to improve the safety, functionality and comfort of your home. Older Eltham ceilings not originally designed for downlights are something we work with regularly.
Will I receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety?
Yes. Where required under Victorian regulations, eligible electrical work includes a Certificate of Electrical Safety, confirming the work has been completed safely and to current standards. We test everything before we leave and provide the documentation on completion.
Are your electricians licensed and insured?
Yes. All work is carried out by licensed electricians and completed in line with Australian Standards and Victorian electrical safety requirements. Bitz Electrical holds Registered Electrical Contractors Licence 31813, is fully insured and is a member of Master Electricians Australia.
