Same Day Trades Electricians in Ashby
Same Day Trades is out in Ashby most weeks, working through the family homes that fill this northern pocket of the City of Wanneroo. Most of the housing here went up from the 1990s onward on standard suburban blocks, so the wiring tends to be sound, but growing households keep pushing the load with air conditioning, alfresco power, and backyard sheds. We take on residential jobs of every size and always turn up when we say we will.
Sitting inland near the Wanneroo townsite, Ashby is spared the salt corrosion that eats away at coastal fittings, but long hot summers still work hard on switchboards and cabling. As part of our wider team of Perth electricians, we know the estates north of the city and quote every job before we start, so there are no surprises once the work is done.
Electrical Services in Ashby
Ashby sits roughly 25 kilometres north of the city, a family estate suburb built out mostly through the 1990s and 2000s on regular blocks, and Same Day Trades covers the lot. Home wiring gets installed, repaired, and upgraded right across the estate, and because the vans stock the usual parts, most calls finish on the first visit.
An extra socket in the study, a run of LED downlights through a done up lounge, a whole board replaced, our licensed Perth electricians sort any of it. Work is booked by the day, the price is handed over before anything starts, and there is never a call out fee simply for coming to look. From a minor repair to a planned upgrade, one crew stays on the job from the first call through to the final test.
Switchboard Upgrades and Repairs
Ashby homes are younger than most across Perth, yet a board wired in twenty or thirty years ago was never built for how a family loads a house today. Pile ducted air conditioning, a second fridge, an induction cooktop, and a car charger onto an early board and it either trips under the weight or warms up. Boards of that vintage also tend to run short on safety switches.
A tired or undersized board makes way for a modern enclosure, its circuits sized to the household and each one clearly marked. A switchboard upgrade squares the board with today’s WA standards and stretches RCD protection over both power and lighting. When the board drops out as the aircon and kettle run at once, or feels warm under your hand, get it replaced before it turns into a real headache.
Safety Switches and RCDs
The rules in Western Australia set a minimum of two safety switches over a home’s power and lighting, and they have to be fitted before the place is sold or let. A good many of the first Ashby homes were signed off with just one, which leaves a run of circuits open to a live fault capable of a dangerous shock.
Whatever switches sit on the board get tested, any that will not trip on demand are replaced, and extra RCDs go onto circuits left uncovered. A sound switch reacts to current leaking to earth by cutting supply in a heartbeat, and that speed is frequently what keeps a jolt from turning into a serious injury. Repeated tripping tends to mean a real fault underneath, so the cause gets chased down rather than reset away.
Power Point Installation
Houses thrown up in the estate years were wired for a fraction of what a modern family plugs in, so double adaptors and power boards slowly march along the skirting. Putting proper outlets into the kitchen, bedrooms, garage, and alfresco eases the pressure on stretched circuits and clears the leads that trail over the floor.
Our power point installs take in standard doubles, USB sockets, weatherproof points for the patio, and dedicated lines for ovens, air conditioners, and car chargers. Sheds and workshops out the back come up a lot in Ashby, so we run real power out to them instead of leaving you tethered to an extension lead. The cabling is chased in cleanly, patched behind us, and each outlet is tested before we pack up.
Lighting and LED Downlights
Swapping halogen downlights out for LED ranks among the fastest ways to bring an Ashby power bill down, and it lifts a chunk of heat out of the roof at the same time. Halogens run hot, lose their brightness over time, and fail often, whereas LEDs draw a fraction of the power and last for years through kitchens, living rooms, and hallways.
That lighting work reaches downlights, pendants, garden and security fittings, sensor floods, and full room fit outs during a renovation. Alfresco and outdoor entertaining sit at the centre of life in these homes, so the lighting is planned around how families use the yard once the sun drops. We will help set the layout, choose the colour temperature, and place switches where they make sense room by room.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Ashby summers run long, hot, and dry, and a ceiling fan takes genuine pressure off the air conditioner through the peak of it. Positioned well, a fan keeps the air moving in bedrooms, living areas, and out on the alfresco, and shaves running costs across the hottest stretch from December into March.
New fan, a replacement for one that has packed it in, or a unit with an integrated light, our ceiling fan team wires each to a wall switch or remote. The mount is fixed hard into the ceiling structure so it runs without wobble, and a fresh circuit can be run where none exists. Patios get outdoor rated units built to cope with the heat and dust of a Perth summer without the motor labouring.
House Rewiring
Most Ashby homes are modern enough that a complete rewire rarely comes up, but the earliest builds are decades old now, and renovations sometimes expose cabling that was patched rather than done right. Warm switches, browning outlets, flickering lights, and repeated tripping all say the wiring behind the plaster is worth a proper look.
House rewiring here strips out ageing or dodgy cabling one circuit at a time or across the whole house, fits modern safety switches, and lifts everything to current standards. The work is staged to hold power where possible and keep the disruption down. It is also the ideal window to add the extra outlets and circuits a busy family home really leans on.
Electrical Fault Finding
A dead outlet, half the house without lights, or a breaker that flips the second it is reset all signal a fault hiding in the wiring. In family homes the cause is often a failed appliance, a cable knocked about behind a wall, or moisture creeping into an outdoor fitting, none of which a quick glance will turn up.
Our fault finding runs on proper test gear instead of guesswork, tracing the trouble to its actual source so your money lands on the genuine repair rather than parts changed on a hunch. Circuits, connections, and fittings are worked through in order, what has failed is spelled out plainly, and the repair is priced before it goes ahead.
Emergency Electrician
Faults ignore the clock, and a burning smell off the board, sparks at a socket, or half the house going dark on a scorching night needs handling fast. A summer storm and the heavy air conditioning draw through a heatwave can each shove an older board past its limit.
Our emergency electricians take Ashby calls at any hour and make things safe before touching anything else. The danger is isolated, the fault is run down, and the repair is one that lasts rather than a quick patch. Should you smell burning, see sparking, or lose power to part of the home, cut it at the board and get us on the phone.
Smoke Alarm Installation
Every Western Australian home needs working smoke alarms, and anything installed now must run off the mains and be interconnected, so one going off triggers the rest. Battery only units dropped below the standard the moment a property changes hands, and a few of the older Ashby homes still depend on them.
Photoelectric alarms wired to the mains and linked together go into the correct spots through bedrooms, hallways, and living areas. That linking matters most after dark, when an alarm at the opposite end of the house can wake a sleeping family in time. Positions are checked, every unit is wired back to the board, and the full set is confirmed to sound as one before we go.
EV Charger Installation
More Ashby driveways now hold an electric car overnight, and a standard outlet charges slowly while leaning on the circuit it shares. A dedicated wall charger fills the battery far quicker and more safely, drawing on its own protected line rather than fighting everything else in the garage for power.
A charger from one of the well known brands goes on the wall, its own circuit is run back to the board, and we make sure the board can take the extra draw before starting. Where air conditioning and other loads already have a board stretched, an upgrade gets flagged first so the charger runs without tripping out. The unit is set to suit your driveway or garage, ready for a quick, simple daily charge.
Electrical Work for Family Estate Homes in Ashby
Ashby is a family estate suburb to the core, and thanks to the newer age of the homes the wiring is generally in good order. The real theme here is added load, as households bolt on ducted air conditioning, spa units, alfresco kitchens, and powered sheds long after the original build was signed off. Boards and circuits sized for a smaller home start to feel it.
What the current setup can carry gets assessed, circuits and outlets are added where the load has grown, and the board is kept in step with how the family actually lives. Being inland by Wanneroo, these homes dodge the salt damage that hits the coast, so most of the work turns on capacity and convenience over corrosion. Everything is fitted to suit the age and layout of your own place.
Electrical Safety and WA Compliance
In Western Australia only a licensed electrical worker can legally carry out electrical work, and for good reason, because unlicensed wiring is dangerous and can void your insurance. Every job we take meets the wiring rules and state requirements, and the work is left safe, tidy, and tested rather than cut short where nobody would notice.
Fully licensed and insured, we supply the compliance paperwork each finished job needs. For anyone selling or leasing, that means the RCDs and smoke alarms have to satisfy the required standards first, and we handle it. Not sure your place is up to scratch? We will assess it and spell out exactly what needs doing.

Frequently Asked Questions
It comes down to the job itself, the parts it calls for, and the time it runs, so each one is priced on its own before we start. Coming out to assess it carries no call out fee, and the figure agreed at the front is what you pay. Nothing extra is bolted on once the work is finished.
Yes. Every bit of electrical work in the state has to go through a licensed electrical worker. Wiring done without a licence is against the law, unsafe, and can void a home insurance claim if trouble surfaces later. Same Day Trades is fully licensed and insured, and the compliance paperwork lands with every Ashby job we finish.
Frequently, yes. With vans working through Ashby and the wider Wanneroo area, an early call usually means we reach you the same day. Emergencies get a response any hour of the day or night. Phone 1300 632 094 and we will let you know the soonest we can be on your street.
All of Ashby along with the northern City of Wanneroo suburbs around it, from the streets near the Wanneroo townsite out to the newer family estates close by. Near the town centre or off on a quieter block, a local electrician can reach you. Ring us to check your street is on the run.
Yes. Ashby emergency calls are picked up at any hour, nights, weekends, and public holidays included. If a burning smell comes off the board, a socket sparks, or part of the house loses power, switch it off at the board and phone 1300 632 094. We make it safe first, then track the fault and repair it.
Yes. The law here wants at least two RCDs, or safety switches, guarding a home’s power and lighting circuits, in place before it is sold or rented. Some of the earlier Ashby homes came with just one. We test whatever is fitted and add extra RCDs on any circuit sitting unprotected.
Yes. Alongside family homes we look after rentals, strata complexes, and small commercial sites through Ashby and Wanneroo. For rental owners and managers we get RCD and smoke alarm compliance sorted ahead of a tenant, plus repairs and fit outs. Billing and reporting can match what agents and strata managers need, and every job is quoted up front.
Always. We look the job over, run you through what it takes in plain language, and set a firm price before anything begins. Coming to inspect costs nothing, and the quoted figure is what you pay. Whether to go ahead is your call, made with the full cost laid out in front of you.
The regulars are extra power points and LED downlight upgrades, ceiling fans for the long summers, and safety switch work for sales and rentals. Families adding air conditioning, spas, alfresco power, and shed circuits keep us busy too, along with fault finding when a board keeps tripping under the growing load.
Yes. The electricians we send are all fully licensed and insured, and everything they do lines up with the wiring rules and Western Australian standards. Compliance paperwork follows once the job wraps, and the site is left tested, tidy, and safe. You can book knowing whoever turns up is qualified to handle it properly.
