Unley is one of Adelaide’s most desirable inner-south suburbs, known for the boutique shopping and dining along King William Road and its beautiful streets lined with grand character homes. Many Unley properties are heritage or character-listed, requiring an electrician who understands how to upgrade electrical systems sensitively and to the highest standard.
Jake delivers premium electrical services throughout Unley, from careful switchboard upgrades in sandstone villas to installing statement pendant lighting in renovated kitchens and setting up comprehensive data cabling for home offices. Unley homeowners appreciate Jake’s attention to detail, tidy work habits, and honest communication.
Character home rewiring is a speciality I’ve developed over years of working in Unley and Unley Park. The sandstone villas, ornate verandah cottages, and grand Edwardian homes in this area require care and experience to rewire properly. I work around original plaster cornices, avoid damage to period features, and run new wiring in a way that’s both safe and sympathetic to the heritage character that makes Unley homes so special.
Switchboard upgrades are in constant demand across Unley, particularly as homeowners renovate and add appliances that the original boards were never designed to handle. I upgrade old fuse boards to modern safety-switch-protected switchboards, add dedicated circuits for induction cooktops, ducted air conditioning, and EV chargers, and ensure everything is correctly labelled and compliant. Goodwood homeowners just over the border call on the same service regularly.
Garden and outdoor lighting is one of the more enjoyable jobs I do in Unley, where the established gardens and generous front verandahs lend themselves to beautifully designed lighting. I install LED pathway lighting, feature uplighting for trees and hedges, low-voltage systems for garden beds, and weatherproof entertaining area lighting for Unley Park and Unley homes alike — all on dedicated weatherproof circuits with proper earth leakage protection.
Data cabling for home offices has become one of the most common requests I get in Unley, where professionals working from home in character-converted studies need rock-solid internet connections. I run concealed Cat6 cabling from your router or patch panel to wherever you need it — no visible conduit, no messy cable management, just a clean wall plate and a fast, reliable hardwired connection. Goodwood and Unley Park clients can book the same service.
