Electrical Services for Homes and Businesses in Templestowe Lower
Electricians Servicing Templestowe Lower
Templestowe Lower sits directly across the Yarra from our Lower Plenty base, which makes it one of the closest suburbs we service. Bitz Electrical works throughout the area for homeowners, landlords, builders and local businesses.
Our regular work here covers switchboard upgrades, EV charger installations, LED downlight installation, CCTV and security cameras, smoke alarms, fault finding and general electrical work, along with commercial jobs for businesses around the Macedon Square and Macedon Road shopping strips.
Most of Templestowe Lower was built through the 1960s and 70s, brick veneer family homes on flat, established streets between the Yarra parklands and Templestowe Village. Boards and wiring from that era weren't designed for today's loads, so a lot of what we do locally is capacity work: switchboard upgrades ahead of air conditioning, home offices and EV charging, plus rewiring where renovations and knockdown rebuilds are updating the original stock.
Jonathan Bitzikopoulos brings more than 25 years of industry experience to every job, and with the team just over the river, you're getting an electrician who already knows Templestowe Lower's homes. The approach never changes: honest advice, compliant work, and a site left clean and safe.

Electrician Templestowe Lower: Frequently Asked Questions
Do you provide electrical services throughout Templestowe Lower?
Yes, and it's about as local as it gets for us. Our Lower Plenty base is directly across the Yarra, so Templestowe Lower is part of the daily run alongside Templestowe, Bulleen and Doncaster. Call 1300 215 193 to confirm we cover your street.
What electrical services do you provide in Templestowe Lower?
The full range of residential and commercial work: switchboard upgrades, EV charger installation, LED downlights, powerpoints, smoke alarms, CCTV and security cameras, fault finding, data cabling, outdoor power, and complete electrical work for renovations and new builds. If it's electrical, we can help.
How much does an electrician cost in Templestowe Lower?
It depends on the job, so rather than quoting generic hourly rates, we look at the work and give you a written quote before anything starts. What's quoted is what you pay, with no variations added afterward. Most enquiries hear back from us the same day.
Do older Templestowe Lower homes need switchboard upgrades?
Frequently, yes. The suburb was largely built out through the 1960s and 70s, and plenty of its brick veneer homes still run boards from that first build, designed for a fraction of what a modern household draws. Once air conditioning, a home office or an EV charger enters the picture, capacity runs out fast. We assess your board honestly and tell you whether an upgrade is actually needed, rather than recommending one automatically.
Can you install an EV charger at my Templestowe Lower home?
Yes. We assess your switchboard capacity, recommend the right charger for your vehicle and install to Australian standards with the appropriate certification. In this part of Manningham the common constraint is board capacity rather than cable distance, and if an upgrade is needed first, we include it clearly in the quote and complete both in the same visit where possible.
I'm adding air conditioning or a home office. Will my wiring cope?
That's exactly the question to ask before installation day, not after. Split systems, ducted air conditioning and permanent home office setups all add sustained load, and original 1960s and 70s circuits often have little headroom left. We check your board and relevant circuits, tell you plainly what your system can support, and add capacity where it's needed.
Do you handle electrical work for knockdown rebuilds and renovations?
Yes. Templestowe Lower's original housing stock is steadily being renovated and rebuilt, and we work with homeowners and builders across the full spectrum, from rewiring and board upgrades during renovations through to complete electrical fitouts for new builds, including planning, lighting design, powerpoints and final fit-off.
Do you install and check smoke alarms in Templestowe Lower?
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 free safety check included with every residential visit.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Bitz Electrical holds a Registered Electrical Contractors Licence (31813), is fully insured and is a member of Master Electricians Australia. Every electrician working on your property is fully licensed, and eligible work includes a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion.
My power keeps tripping. Can you find the cause?
Yes. If circuits trip repeatedly, lights flicker or power behaves unpredictably, we carry out systematic fault finding to locate and fix the actual cause rather than patching symptoms. In Templestowe Lower's older homes the usual suspects are overloaded original circuits or boards overdue for replacement, both straightforward to identify and resolve.
Do you provide a written quote before starting work?
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.
