Residential electrical work completed by Elecool Electrical in a Melbourne home

Most residential electrical jobs are small enough that the difference is whether they're done well. A tidy power point install, a fan that doesn't wobble, a fault that's actually fixed rather than papered over. Elecool's residential crew handles the day-to-day work that keeps Melbourne homes safe, comfortable and properly powered.

What we cover

Power points and USB outlets, including outdoor and weatherproof versions. Ceiling fans with light kits, remote controls and reverse-mode for winter. Light switches, dimmers and motion sensors. Safety switch (RCD) installation and testing. Fault finding for circuits that keep tripping or appliances that won't power up. Renovation electrical for new rooms, extensions and granny flats. Spa, pool and outdoor electrical compliance. Hot water system electrical for storage and instantaneous units.

How we work in your home

Drop sheets down before we start. Boots off or covered. Cables routed where you'd want them, not where they were easiest. Holes patched and sanded ready for paint, not left for you to fix. Old fittings and packaging removed. Every job photographed before-and-after so you have a record. This is the part most electricians cut corners on — we don't.

Frequently asked questions

Still have questions?

Ask the team
How much does a new power point cost?
A new GPO (general power outlet) added to an existing circuit typically runs $180–$320 fitted, depending on the wall material and how far the closest existing point is. A whole new circuit from the switchboard to a new GPO is $400–$650.
Can you install a ceiling fan?
Yes — ceiling fan installations are one of our most common jobs. Straight swap of an existing light to a fan-with-light typically $220–$320. New fan installation with new wiring around $450–$650. We bring drop sheets, check for joist support, and test for balance.
Why does my circuit keep tripping?
Three common causes: a genuine fault (water in a power point, damaged cable, failed appliance), an overloaded circuit (too many appliances on one run), or a worn-out RCD/circuit breaker that's tripping unnecessarily. We diagnose with a clamp meter and test gear — usually fixed in one visit.
Do you do same-day residential callouts?
Yes — we hold capacity in the daily schedule for same-day callouts across South East Melbourne. Call 0418 576 387 before noon and we can usually be there the same afternoon. Emergency calls (no power, smell of burning) get prioritised immediately.
Can you install hot water systems?
Yes — for the electrical side, including circuit, isolator and tagging. Plumbing connections are handled by a licensed plumber on the same day (we coordinate with the plumber, or work with yours). Heat pump hot water systems are increasingly popular — we install all major brands.
Do you work in heritage homes?
Often — many of our Toorak, Camberwell, Hawthorn and Malvern customers live in heritage-overlay properties. We work around period features, use concealed conduit where possible, and never damage original cornicing or skirting boards we'd hate to replace ourselves.
Can you wire a granny flat or extension?
Yes. Granny flat and extension electrical is a frequent job — new circuits from the main board (or a new sub-board if the main can't take the load), GPOs, lighting, smoke alarms, and any connections to existing house circuits. Coordinated with your builder if needed.
Do you provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety?
For prescribed work (new circuits, switchboard work, hot water, hard-wired appliances) yes — registered with Energy Safe Victoria and emailed to you within 5 business days of job completion. Required by law and your house insurance.
