Renovation Electrical for Meadowbank and St Johns Homes
Renovating a 1960s Meadowbank home almost always means more electrical work than expected. New kitchens need dedicated circuits for ovens, induction cooktops and dishwashers; bathrooms need heated towel rails, extractor fans and sometimes underfloor heating; and the old fuse board cannot cope with any of it. Steve quotes the electrical package up front, coordinates with your builder on timing, and makes sure the finished home has the switchboard, circuits and lighting to match the renovation.
Switchboard Upgrades and Rewiring
Many Meadowbank and St Johns homes still have their original switchboard, and some still have original cabling. A modern switchboard with RCD protection on every circuit is the single most important safety upgrade you can make. Where the wiring itself is at the end of its life, Steve rewires in stages or as one job, with good ceiling and subfloor access in most of these homes keeping the work efficient.
EV Chargers and Heat Pumps in Meadowbank
Families in Meadowbank are upgrading their homes for the long term, and EV chargers and heat pumps are top of the list. Steve installs dedicated circuits for both, sized correctly for the supply, with smart EV chargers that can charge on cheaper overnight rates. He checks the switchboard has capacity first and upgrades it as part of the job if needed.
Lighting Upgrades for Older Homes
Replacing old incandescent and halogen fittings with LED downlights and feature lighting transforms the feel of a mid-century home and cuts power bills. Steve designs lighting layouts for living areas, kitchens and outdoor spaces, and installs dimmers and smart switches so the lighting suits how you actually use each room.
