Our Main Electrical Services in Adelaide
Same Day Trades covers the full range of electrical work across metropolitan Adelaide, from a single power point to a full switchboard upgrade and rewire. Every job is carried out by a CBS-licensed electrician under electrical contractor licence PGE 273919, finished to the current AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, and backed by a lifetime warranty on labour with no call-out fee. These are the services Adelaide homes and businesses call us out for most.
Old ceramic-fuse boards were never built for a modern Adelaide home running a kitchen, split-systems, an electric oven and a laundry at once. When the main keeps dropping, the panel has run out of headroom. Our electricians replace the tired board with a properly rated switchboard, put every circuit on its own breaker, and add safety switches across the power and lighting groups. We test every way under load, label the board clearly, and issue a certificate of compliance to AS/NZS 3000.
Rubber-cored or cloth-braided cable, and old black conduit, are well past safe service and turn brittle inside the walls. We meter each original circuit, show you the readings against the standard, and renew the wiring one circuit group at a time so the house stays livable throughout. We draw in fresh cable, earth the runs that never had it, land them on an upgraded board, and hand you a certificate. Partial or full, a rewire is priced on the cable run and access, not guesswork.
When a breaker keeps tripping or half the house goes dark, we chase the fault with instruments, not guesswork. Clamp-meter and insulation-resistance readings lead us to the exact circuit shedding current, then to the fitting or join behind it. A fault that only shows in the wet, we hold under load until it reappears, then repair the real cause rather than resetting the symptom. You get the finding in writing. See our electrical fault finding service for how it works.
Too few sockets and a tangle of power boards mean the original wiring never planned for how you live now, with phones, appliances and home offices all drawing at once. We add power points and GPOs where you actually use them, indoors or out, check the circuit can carry the extra load, and make sure a new outlet eases the crowding instead of pushing the strain further along the run. Every point is tested and left safe before we pack up.
Good lighting falls where you cook, read and work, not in a builder even grid on the ceiling. We plan the layout with you, confirm the circuit has headroom, and fit energy-saving LED downlights, lifting out the old halogens and the transformers that have baked the roof space for years. Dimmers, pendants, outdoor sensor floods and garden lighting are handled on the same visit, all to AS/NZS 3000, so the whole home is brighter and cheaper to run.
A ceiling fan takes the edge off an Adelaide summer and cuts what you spend on cooling. We install new ceiling fans, replace tired ones, and steady fans that wobble or hum, wiring each to its own switch or a remote and balancing the blades so they run quietly. If we are already in the ceiling fitting downlights, the fan goes up on the same visit. We check the mounting is rated for the fan and leave the circuit tested.
Sparks at a socket, a burning smell, a dead board after a storm, or a safety switch that will not reset need action now, not in the morning. Our emergency electricians answer day and night across metropolitan Adelaide, make the site safe first, and carry the parts we fit most so we finish the majority of call-outs on the spot. There is no call-out fee, and you get a fixed price before we start. Call 1300 632 094 any hour.

We also diagnose and repair faulty power points, tripping circuits and overloaded outlets. If a power point sparks, runs warm or trips your safety switch, call us these are fire and electrocution hazards that need same-day attention.

Electrician Adelaide: Frequently Asked Questions
No. There is no call-out fee. You pay only for the work carried out, at a fixed price agreed before we begin.
In practice, yes. A South Australian home cannot be sold or leased without earth-leakage protection on the circuits people use daily, and we fit safety switches first on any board that lacks them.
Ceramic fuses you mend by hand, a single main switch, no safety switch, a warm or buzzing cover, scorch marks, or fuses blowing for no clear reason all mean the board is due for an upgrade.
Rubber or cloth-braided wiring and old black conduit are past safe use. Add dimming lights, a warm switch plate, a burnt-plastic smell in the roof, or random tripping, and it is time. We test each circuit and tell you.
Yes. We hang new ceiling fans, swap old ones, and balance wobbling fans, wiring each to its own switch or a remote. If we are already fitting downlights, the fan goes up on the same visit.
Yes. We install home EV chargers on a dedicated circuit, check your switchboard can carry the load, and add a sub-board or upgrade the board where needed, all certified to AS/NZS 3000.
Only photoelectric alarms qualify in SA. At a sale, new lease or rewire, every alarm must run off the mains or a sealed ten-year battery and be interconnected. We fit alarms to suit and replace any past its date.
Yes. We issue a Certificate of Compliance for the electrical work we complete, so you have written proof the job meets the current standard, which matters for sales, leases and insurance.
Often, yes. Book before midday for same-day service within our coverage, and our 24/7 line handles after-hours emergencies every day of the year.
