House Rewiring in Melbourne

Old wiring wasn't built for the way we use power today, and it can be a fire risk. We rewire older homes fully or in stages, upgrade the switchboard and leave you with a compliance certificate.

John and his team were exceptional. I messaged John at 10:30 at night seeking an emergency hot water system installed as it was Friday the next day and mine had just broken that night. John was so helpful, walked me through the rebate process, flexible with times (as I had to work), and manages to get two guys to come out and do the replacement the next day. The men that came to replace the tank were really professional and helpful. The new tank looks really flash. Super happy with it.

I have been a customer of and done business with Vu Electrical over the years. The owner goes about his business with integrity and honesty. How they treat their clients, is the same way they treat their staff and business partners: Always going the extra mile and giving the little bit extra. John and his team are excellent people and I personally know he loses sleep often, thinking about ways to keep his customers happy and giving sparkies a good reputation. Looking forward to more projects with you mate!

Had John's boys install a split system a/c. Could not be happier with their work and price. They took their time to make sure work was to an A1 standard. Punctual, clean, tidy and polite. Highly recommend. Thank you.

Really happy with the service from this electrical company. They were on time, professional, neat, and did a great job from start to finish. I got three different quotes, and they were the most affordable. But honestly, the cheaper price definitely did not mean cheaper or dodgy work. The quality of their work was excellent, and everything was done properly and neatly. They were also easy to deal with, reliable, and respectful of the property. Great work, fair price, and excellent service!
