Electrician Churchlands
Ceramic fuses tripping in a 1960s brick home, or fresh circuits wanted in a knock-down rebuild near Herdsman Lake: licensed Perth electricians handle both across Churchlands, from a single power point to a full switchboard upgrade. Pricing is upfront and there is no call out fee to come and assess.

Same Day Trades Electricians in Churchlands
Churchlands sits about eight kilometres north-west of the city, an established and leafy suburb of the City of Stirling near Herdsman Lake and the western suburbs. Most streets carry solid 1960s and 1970s brick homes on generous blocks, and alongside them a strong run of high-end knock-down rebuilds keeps changing the streetscape. Same Day Trades works here every week, from tired original wiring to brand new circuits in a freshly finished build.
The nearby coast puts a little salt on outdoor fittings, so power points, sensor lights, and switchboards on exposed walls tend to age faster than the ones inside. As part of the wider team of Perth electricians, we pick fittings that hold up to that exposure and quote plainly before any work begins. Whether you own an ageing family home near the schools or a premium rebuild off Herdsman, we cover the lot.
A Trusted Electrician for Churchlands
Two kinds of home sit side by side across Churchlands: the original 1960s and 1970s brick houses on big blocks, and the high-end rebuilds replacing them one lot at a time. Same Day Trades looks after both. We install, repair, and upgrade domestic wiring right across the suburb, and our vans carry the parts to wrap up most jobs on the first visit.
Maybe you want one extra outlet in a study, a run of downlights through a renovated open-plan kitchen, or a complete board swap in an older property near the schools. Our licensed Perth electricians take on all of it. We book work by the day, hand you a clear price before starting, and never add a call out fee for coming to assess the job. From a fast repair to a planned upgrade, the same crew stays with you start to finish.
Switchboard Replacements and Repairs
Ask us to look at a Churchlands job on an original block and there is a fair chance the switchboard still carries ceramic rewireable fuses from the 1970s. Load up that old board with ducted air, an induction cooktop, a second fridge, and a car charger and it trips constantly or runs hot. Rewireable fuses also leave circuits without the safety switch protection that current wiring rules demand.
We swap dated boards for a modern enclosure, set the right number of circuits, and label every one so faults are easy to trace later. Our switchboard upgrades bring the board in line with current WA standards and extend RCD protection over both power and lighting. On rebuilds we size the board for the full finished house so it copes with automation, spa units, and heavy kitchen loads from day one.
Fitting Safety Switches and RCDs
Homes in WA must have at least two RCDs guarding every power and lighting circuit, and those need to be fitted before a property is sold or leased. Plenty of original Churchlands homes were built with one RCD or none at all, which leaves whole circuits open to a live fault that could shock someone badly.
We check the safety switches already on your board, replace any that will not trip when tested, and add extra RCDs on the circuits still running unprotected. A healthy safety switch cuts the supply in a fraction of a second the moment it senses current leaking to earth, and that speed is often what turns a bad shock into a minor one. When an RCD keeps tripping, treat it as a real fault worth chasing rather than a nuisance, and we trace the cause instead of resetting and walking away.
New and Extra Power Points
Wiring from the 1960s and 1970s never anticipated the pile of devices a modern family plugs in, so double adaptors and trailing power boards end up feeding half the house. Extra outlets through the kitchen, bedrooms, study, garage, and alfresco take the strain off overloaded circuits and clear away the leads snaking across the floor.
Our power point installation covers standard doubles, USB points, weatherproof outdoor sockets, and dedicated circuits for ovens, split systems, and EV chargers. Outdoor points on Churchlands homes near the coastal side get weatherproof fittings chosen to resist salt. We chase cabling in neatly, patch behind us, and test every outlet before packing up.
LED Downlight and Lighting Work
Trading worn halogen downlights for LED is one of the fastest ways to trim a power bill and drop the heat sitting in a Churchlands ceiling. Halogens run hot, dim with age, and blow often, while modern LEDs pull a fraction of the power and keep going for years across kitchens, living zones, and hallways.
Our lighting installation takes in downlights, pendants, garden and security lighting, sensor floods, and complete room fit outs on a renovation or rebuild. Premium rebuilds around here often call for dimmable circuits, feature pendants, and layered lighting that a designer has planned, and we wire it to match. On exposed eaves and patios near the coast we fit lamps rated for damp and salty air so they do not fail after a season or two.
Ceiling Fan Installation and Wiring
Churchlands summers stretch long and the sea breeze does not push through every room, so ceiling fans pull their weight in local bedrooms, living areas, and alfrescos. A well positioned fan keeps air moving, eases the load on the split system, and holds running costs down through the hottest stretch from December to March.
Our ceiling fan installation covers new fans, replacements, and fans with built-in lights, run to a wall control or remote. We anchor the mount properly to the ceiling structure so there is no wobble, and we can pull a new circuit where none exists. Alfresco and patio fans get models rated for coastal exposure, so salt in the air does not stiffen the motor or mark the blades inside a year.
Rewiring Established Homes
Some original Churchlands homes still run the cabling they were built with, and after fifty or sixty years rubber or cloth insulation grows brittle and starts to crack. Heat trapped in the roof space and the occasional rodent speed that decline. Flickering lights, warm switch plates, discoloured outlets, and repeat trips all hint that the wiring in the walls has reached the end of its life.
Our house rewiring replaces old cabling circuit by circuit or across the whole house, fits modern safety switches, and brings everything up to current standards. On a knock-down rebuild we wire the new home from scratch, planning circuits, data, and outlets around how the family will actually live. Staged work keeps power on where we can while the job runs.
Locating Stubborn Electrical Faults
A dead outlet, half a house with no lights, or a breaker that drops the instant you reset it all point to a fault buried somewhere in the wiring. In an older Churchlands home the trouble often hides in a perished junction, a corroded outdoor fitting, or a connection that has worked loose over decades of heat.
Our electrical fault finding chases the problem to its source with proper test gear rather than guesswork, so you pay to repair the real fault instead of swapping parts on a hunch. We work through circuits, connections, and fittings in order, tell you in plain terms what has failed, and quote the fix before carrying it out.
Emergency and After Hours Service
Electrical trouble ignores the clock, and a burning smell at the board, sparks from an outlet, or half the house going dark on a hot evening needs sorting fast. Summer storms sweeping in off the coast can drop supply and knock boards about, and standing water around outdoor fittings turns a minor fault into a genuine hazard.
Our emergency electrician service answers Churchlands calls right through the night, on weekends, and on public holidays, and we make things safe before anything else. We isolate the danger, find what caused it, and carry out a repair that lasts rather than a patch. Smell burning, see sparking, or lose power to part of the home, switch off at the board and phone us.
Interconnected Smoke Alarms
WA rules call for working smoke alarms throughout every home, and any alarm fitted now has to be mains powered and interconnected so that one sounding sets them all off. Battery-only units no longer pass the standard when a property changes hands, and many older Churchlands homes are still relying on them.
We supply and position mains powered, interconnected photoelectric alarms where they belong across bedrooms, hallways, and living areas. Interconnection counts most overnight, when an alarm at the far end of the house can rouse a sleeping family in time. We check placement against the layout, wire each unit back to the board, and confirm every alarm triggers together before we finish.
EV Charger Installation at Home
More Churchlands driveways carry an electric car these days, and charging from a standard outlet is slow and hard on an ageing circuit. A dedicated wall charger fills the battery far quicker and more safely, drawing on its own protected circuit instead of sharing supply with the rest of the garage.
We fit home EV chargers from the common brands, run the dedicated circuit back to the board, and confirm the board can carry the added draw before starting. Where an older board is already stretched, we recommend an upgrade first so the charger runs without nuisance trips. We site the unit to suit your driveway, garage, or carport and set it up so daily charging stays fast and safe.
Wiring Established and Rebuilt Churchlands Homes
The split between ageing originals and premium rebuilds shapes most of what we do here. In a 1960s or 1970s home the switchboard, cabling, and earthing are often overdue for attention, and a little coastal salt has pitted the outdoor fittings on exposed walls. We upgrade boards, add circuits, and renew tired wiring so the house keeps up with modern living.
On the knock-down rebuilds it is a different job again, with full rewires, dedicated circuits for heavy kitchen and laundry loads, feature lighting, and home automation to install from the ground up. We match the electrical work to the age and ambition of each property, whether that is nursing an original along or wiring a rebuild for everything it will hold.
Safe Work That Meets WA Rules
Electrical work in Western Australia has to be done by a licensed electrical worker, and for solid reasons, since unlicensed wiring is unsafe and can void your insurance. Every job we carry out meets the wiring rules and state requirements, and we leave it safe, tidy, and properly tested rather than hiding rough work behind the wall.
We are fully licensed and insured, and we hand over the compliance paperwork you need once the work is done. For landlords and sellers that includes confirming RCDs and smoke alarms meet the standards required before a property is leased or sold. If you are not certain your home complies, we will assess it and spell out what needs doing.

We know Churchlands well, from the original blocks near the schools and Herdsman Lake to the run of high-end rebuilds reshaping the streets.

Yes. Western Australian law requires at least two RCDs, or safety switches, protecting the power and lighting circuits in a home, and they must be in place before a property is sold or leased. Many older Churchlands homes fall short. We test the ones you have and fit extra RCDs where circuits sit unprotected.
Yes. Alongside homes we look after rental properties, strata complexes, and small commercial sites around Churchlands. For landlords and managers we bring RCDs and smoke alarms up to standard before a lease, and handle repairs and fit outs. We can bill and report the way agents and strata managers need, and quote every job upfront.
Always. We assess the job, explain what is involved in plain terms, and give you a firm price before any work begins. There is no call out fee to come and look, and the quoted price is what you settle. The decision to proceed is yours, made with the full cost laid out in front of you.
The regulars are switchboard upgrades on the older 1960s and 1970s homes, extra power points and LED downlights, ceiling fans for the summer heat, and full rewires and feature lighting during high-end rebuilds.
