Burnside is one of Adelaide’s most prestigious eastern suburbs, with tree-lined streets, established gardens, and a mix of grand character homes and quality modern builds. Many properties in Burnside feature older wiring that needs careful upgrading — Jake specialises in modernising electrical systems in period homes while preserving their character.
From switchboard upgrades in homes near Burnside Village to installing smart lighting systems in renovated properties along Glynburn Road, First Class Electrical & Data provides meticulous, tidy work that Burnside homeowners expect. Jake takes extra care with established properties, ensuring all work meets current standards without compromising the home’s aesthetic.
Heritage rewiring is a speciality of mine that Burnside homeowners appreciate. Many of the grand properties near Hazelwood Park and along the leafy streets of Burnside have original wiring that’s decades old. I carefully replace deteriorating cables while preserving the character of these beautiful homes, bringing them up to current safety standards without unnecessary damage.
Air conditioning connections are a regular service across Burnside, particularly in the older homes near Kensington Gardens and along Portrush Road. Many established Burnside properties are upgrading from evaporative to reverse-cycle systems, which require dedicated electrical circuits. I install the power supply, ensure the switchboard has capacity, and make sure everything is compliant.
Landscape and garden lighting is a major service throughout Burnside. With established gardens, mature trees, and beautifully maintained properties, residents invest in quality outdoor lighting that highlights their gardens and improves security. I install low-voltage LED garden systems, path lighting, and in-ground uplights that transform Burnside properties after dark.
Switchboard upgrades are a routine service in Burnside, particularly in homes near Portrush Road and around Kensington Gardens. Older properties often have single-phase boards that weren’t designed for induction cooktops and multiple air conditioning units. I upgrade these to modern three-phase or high-capacity boards where needed, with full RCD and arc-fault protection.

I’m Jake Burrell, owner and director of First Class Electrical and Data. With 14 years in the electrical trade, I service all of Adelaide including Burnside.
