A suburb of terraces
More than seven in ten occupied dwellings in Carlton North are terraces, townhouses or semi-detached homes, and only about one in sixteen is a separate house (ABS 2021). Half of households rent.
Yarra City Council’s heritage review records North Carlton as one of the government subdivisions laid out in the 1860s.

Common questions
Will a rewire damage period features?
We plan cable routes to limit disturbance to ceilings, cornices and walls, and discuss any patching needed before we start.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Common signs are old rewireable fuses, no safety switches (RCDs), circuits that trip often, or no room for new circuits. We inspect the board and quote the upgrade.
I’m renting. Can I book an electrician?
Yes. Most electrical work needs the owner’s approval, so we can quote to you or directly to your landlord or agent.
Can you work inside my apartment or unit?
Yes. We handle lighting, power, data and repairs inside the unit. Work on common property or shared switchboards usually needs owners corporation approval first.
