View the galleryA large, varied suburb
Essendon has more than 8,500 occupied dwellings: almost half are separate houses and a third are apartments (ABS 2021).
Kitchens and switchboards are common reasons to call an electrician. A kitchen renovation usually adds circuits, so it’s worth checking the board before the new appliances arrive.

Common questions
Can you do the electrical for my renovation?
Yes. We handle renovation electrical from rough-in to fit-off, and because Task Trades also runs plumbing and construction, trades can be coordinated.
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.
Can you replace old halogen downlights with LED?
Yes. We replace old halogen downlights and their transformers with LED fittings, which also removes a common source of heat in the ceiling.
Can you get into apartment buildings with restricted access?
Yes. We work with building managers on access, parking and lift bookings, and plan the job so it’s done in as few visits as possible.
