Electrical — Indoor & Outdoor

What needs fixing: one fitting or several rooms?

Tell us whether one light or socket has stopped working, several rooms have lost power, or a circuit repeatedly trips. Include when the problem happens and any recent appliance or renovation changes. You can describe what is happening without knowing the electrical part name.

Fault finding identifies the affected fitting, circuit or supply issue before the repair is selected. The electrician explains the findings and any additional work needed; opening electrical equipment is left to the electrician.

Circuit repairs and partial or whole-home rewiring

Mel One can arrange repairs to existing wiring, replacement of affected circuits and whole-home rewiring. For a renovation, list the rooms, proposed lights and power points, and any appliances being moved or added. For an existing fault, describe the affected areas and what has already been checked.

The electrician assesses the wiring and the access needed to carry out the work. The quote identifies the circuits or areas covered, fittings being retained or replaced, shutdown arrangements, testing and any wall or ceiling openings. Patching and repainting after access can be coordinated as part of the property work.

Lights, ceiling fans and power points

We handle replacement fittings and new installation locations. Send the quantity, room and model of products you already have. A replacement fan may need a different mounting arrangement, while a new power point may require a new wiring route.

List product supply, removal of old fittings and any surrounding repair work in the enquiry. This lets the quote cover the installation you actually need, including related finishing work where requested.

Tripping circuits, switchboards and safety switches

A repeatedly tripping circuit needs investigation before choosing a repair or switchboard change. Tell us which parts of the property are affected and whether the issue is intermittent. Do not repeatedly reset a device that continues to trip or remove switchboard covers.

The responsible electrician determines the repair, any switchboard work and the testing and documentation for that scope. Discuss access to the board and when power can be interrupted, especially for an occupied home or rental property.

Outdoor lighting and power

For a failed garden light, sensor light or outdoor power point, identify the location and what has stopped working. For a new installation, explain what the area will be used for and where the power is needed. Exposure, wiring routes and access are assessed for the installation.

Coordinating the electrical job

Electrical work is carried out by the appropriately licensed electrical contractor. Before work begins, confirm the responsible contractor, the quoted scope and any related carpentry, wall repair or painting. If electrical work is one part of a longer property repair list, send the full list so the order of work can be planned.

Information for an electrical enquiry

• Provide the suburb, rooms and number of affected fittings or locations.
• State whether this is an existing fault, replacement or new installation.
• Include known product model numbers and safe, external photographs only.
• Mention access restrictions and any related home work; do not open switchboards or electrical equipment.
