Working on a beautiful period home requires a different approach to working on a modern apartment. Our electricians understand both.
At O’Shea Electrical, we bring practical experience, careful workmanship and good old-fashioned customer service to every job. From rewiring and switchboard upgrades to lighting, fault finding and everyday electrical work, our licensed electricians in Hawthorn are here to help keep your home working exactly as it should.
Hawthorn is an area where that experience really counts. Victorian and Edwardian homes, Californian bungalows, renovated family properties and contemporary apartments all sit within a few kilometres of each other. Each can have very different electrical requirements, so we take the time to understand the property before recommending what comes next.
Some jobs start with a flickering light. Others are part of a renovation that has been months in the planning. Whatever brings us to your door, you can expect the same attention to detail.
Our electricians in Hawthorn can assist with:
Not quite sure what you need? That’s what we’re here for. We’ll assess your electrical system, explain what we find and talk you through the options.
Hawthorn is well known for its period architecture, with Victorian and Edwardian properties found throughout the suburb.
Working on these homes calls for care and experience. Electrical systems may have been changed at different stages of the property’s life, particularly where extensions or renovations have taken place. Before carrying out new work, it’s important to understand the existing setup and how everything works together.
Our electricians in Hawthorn can assess existing wiring, switchboards and circuits before recommending the right way forward. If you’re renovating, we can also help plan new lighting, power and electrical requirements while respecting the character of the home.
It’s about giving you the modern functionality you want while taking proper care of the property you love.
Head towards Glenferrie Road and Burwood Road and Hawthorn’s housing landscape starts to change.
Apartments are a big part of the suburb, from established complexes to newer developments. Electrical work in these properties can involve different considerations around access, shared infrastructure, common areas and coordination with owners corporations or building managers.
Our team can help with electrical repairs and upgrades inside individual apartments as well as work involving common areas and shared facilities. We communicate clearly with everyone involved to help keep the process running smoothly.
Your switchboard sits at the heart of your home’s electrical system, distributing power to the circuits you use every day.
If you own an established property in Hawthorn, we can assess the existing switchboard and recommend upgrades where appropriate. That might include replacing older components, adding safety switches or preparing the electrical system for a renovation, new appliance or additional circuits.
We’ll explain what’s required in plain English and provide pricing before the work gets underway.
