"Amazing work ethic & 10/10 craftsmanship!"

Cannot recommend Izzy highly enough. Amazing work ethic, communicative, and 10/10 craftsmanship on the work she undertakes. She also went above and beyond on a few other components of my apartment which I'm very grateful for.

"Arrived on time & did perfect work!"

Izzy was recommended to me by a friend she had performed great work for. She arrived right on time, did perfect work and even popped next door to fix a power point for my neighbour. I can't recommend her highly enough.

"Thorough, reliable & professional service!"

Absolutely top-notch service. She's not only a fantastic electrician — thorough, reliable, and clearly knows her stuff — but also has a really gentle, respectful presence. Showed up on time, communicated clearly, and did a brilliant job.

"Efficient, honest & reliable!"

Isabelle is a professional at what she does. Very efficient, honest and reliable. Couldn't be any happier with the outdoor and indoor lighting she did for us. Highly recommend.

We can do either. For most Mulgrave split system jobs, we handle the electrical side — the dedicated circuit, switchboard connection, isolation switch for the outdoor unit, and compliance certification — working alongside your air conditioning installer who mounts and connects the actual unit. We can also supply and install complete split systems if you'd prefer a single contractor handling the whole job. During your free quote, we'll clarify exactly which parts of the job we're handling and coordinate with your AC installer so the installation runs smoothly and everything is properly certified.

In most cases, yes. Split system air conditioners — especially larger units and those on heating mode — draw significant continuous current that a shared general-purpose circuit isn't designed to carry safely. We install a properly rated dedicated circuit with the correct cabling, circuit breaker, and safety switch protection, and an accessible isolation switch near the outdoor unit as required by the standard. This keeps your new AC running safely and reliably without overloading existing circuits, and it's a requirement for compliance in most Mulgrave installations.

We assess that during your free quote. If your Mulgrave home's switchboard has spare capacity and modern safety switches, we can usually connect a new dedicated circuit without any upgrade. Older homes with full or outdated boards may need a switchboard upgrade to safely accommodate the additional load — and we'll tell you clearly if that's the case, with a fixed-price quote covering both the upgrade and the AC wiring. Getting the switchboard right is what ensures your split system runs safely and reliably long-term, so we never compromise on it.

Yes. When you're upgrading to a new or more efficient split system, we handle the electrical side — checking the existing dedicated circuit, isolating and disconnecting the old unit's power, updating the isolation switch and protection if the new unit has different ratings, and wiring in the replacement safely and compliantly. If the new system has a higher load than the old one, we ensure the existing circuit is properly rated or upgrade it. Your Mulgrave home gets cool, quiet, efficient comfort, fully certified, without the old unit's running costs or noise.

Absolutely — and it's a common setup for larger Mulgrave homes. We can install dedicated circuits for multiple split systems throughout your home: bedrooms, living areas, studies, and home offices. Each unit gets its own properly rated circuit so the total load stays safe and balanced across your switchboard. We plan the cabling routes to be neat and minimally disruptive, coordinate with your AC installer if you're using one, and certify all the notifiable work. Multiple split systems give you zoned, efficient comfort exactly where you need it.

Cost depends on the number of units, the distance between the indoor and outdoor units and your switchboard, whether a switchboard upgrade is needed, and the condition of your existing wiring. As a guide, installing the dedicated circuit and compliance certification for a single split system in Mulgrave typically starts from around $450 to $800 plus the cost of the unit itself if we're supplying it. We provide a clear, fixed-price quote after inspecting your property, so you know the full cost before we begin — no surprises.
