Electrical Renovations

Planning A Renovation? Start With Your Electrical System

Your renovation plan might seem simple on the outside, such as a new kitchen, adding a room or extending your living room into an open-plan design. But underneath the new finishes, cabinetry and walls, your home’s electrical system needs to support everything you’re planning on adding.

Modern renovations can significantly increase your home’s electrical demand. New ovens, induction stoves, air conditioners, electric hot water systems, lighting, large entertainment systems and smart home technology all need additional circuits and electrical capacity to work safely.

This is why our team of licensed and qualified electricians thoroughly assess your electrical system before the renovation works begin. We inspect your existing wiring, switchboard, and circuits to identify any potential issues and whether you need any upgrades during the renovation process.

This is particularly important when you’re renovating older Sydney homes, where outdated electrical elements are often present, such as:

• Ageing or damaged electrical wiring
• Old ceramic fuse boxes
• Outdated switchboards
• Previous dodgy DIY electrical work
• Wiring that is outdated and not designed to handle modern electrical loads.

If your electrical system isn't equipped to handle everything you're planning to add, your dream renovation can quickly become more complicated than expected.

Electrical Renovations for Older Sydney Homes

Sydney is known for its vintage, terraced homes and townhouses. While these properties boast incredible character, their original electrical infrastructure was never designed to handle today’s modern power consumption.

When renovating an older Sydney home, our team frequently resolve critical structural hazards including:

• Degrading Wiring: Crumbling wire insulation or insulation that has been chewed by rodents can pose serious fire risks.

• Ceramic Fuse Boxes: Outdated fuse boxes that don’t have an RCD (Residual Current Device) or safety switches leave your family unprotected against earth leakage shocks.

• Limited Circuit Distribution: Homes with limited lighting and power circuits lead to circuits overloading or blown fuses.

Do You Need To Rewire Your House During A Renovation?

Not necessarily. One of our electricians will inspect your home’s wiring and assess its condition, age, type and capacity before determining if you need to invest in a rewire. If your current wiring is structurally sound, safe and compliant, there’s no need to invest in a full house rewiring.

Kitchen Electrical Renovations

Your kitchen is one of the most electrically demanding areas in your home. Your electrical layout should be carefully designed and planned around your needs and how you use the space. A successful kitchen renovation relies on a tailored layout built for you, your cooking habits and your lifestyle.

Our electricians can install and connect a range of kitchen electrical infrastructure for:

• Ovens
• Induction Cooktops
• Electric Stoves
• Built-in kitchen bench power points and outlets
• Under-bench lighting and ambient lighting

Bathroom Electrical Renovations

Electrical work in your bathroom needs careful planning. Since water and electricity don’t mix, bathroom installations need to comply with strict rules and regulations.

Our electricians bring luxury, comfort and safety to your bathroom renovation through personalised installations including:

• 3-in-1 bathroom heat, fan and light units
• Bathroom exhaust fans
• Custom LED mirror and lighting features
• Heated towel rails and in-floor heating

Our Electrical Renovation Process

At Pro Electrical, we work closely with you throughout the renovation rather than installing a couple of cables at the end of the process. While each home and renovation is different, our process is similar for every project.

• Initial Assessment

Our electricians discuss your renovation plans, existing electrical systems, and your current and future power needs.

• Existing Electrical Assessment

Our licensed and qualified electricians assess your existing wiring, switchboards, circuits and electrical capacity to identify any potential issues that need to be addressed or upgraded before renovations begin.

• Electrical Planning

We determine the power needs for power points, lighting, appliances, new circuits, data, security and any future upgrades.

• Rough-In During The Renovation Process

Our team install electrical cabling and other infrastructure while the walls and ceilings are easily accessible before plastering has begun.

• Fit-Off

Once the renovation is almost complete, we install power points, switches, lights, fans, appliances and other electrical fittings and features.

• Testing & Completion

Once every fitting and fixture is installed correctly, our electricians test them to make sure everything is working as it should. We also write up an electrical compliance certificate.

Future-Proofing Your Home’s Electrical System

When planning your home renovation and the electrical layout of your rooms, it’s also important to consider the future. Do you want to invest in an EV charging station and an electric vehicle? Do you want to delve into the world of smart home automation?

Our electricians help Sydney homeowners think about the future and their energy needs, getting the structures in place no so they don’t have to worry about it later down the track. 

We install:

• Ev Chargers
• Induction Cooktops
• Heat Pump Hot Water
• Air Conditioning
• Smart Home Automation
• Increased Electrical Loads
• Three-Phase Power Upgrades (where appropriate)

How Much Do Electrical Renovations Cost?

The exact cost of your electrical renovation varies from house to house. A one-room renovation will cost a lot less than renovating your entire home’s electrical system.

Factors that can impact the final cost include:

• Size and scope of the renovation
• How complex the work is
• Existing wiring
• Number of power outlets and power points
• LIghting requirements
• Appliance requirements
• Switchboard upgrades
• Rewiring
• Accessibility
• Data and security needs
• Future electrical needs

Whatever your electrical renovation is, our team of electricians will always provide you with a clear and upfront quote before starting any work, allowing you to budget accordingly as well as ask any questions you may have.
