Why Supply Solar

What Does a Licensed Electrician Do — and Why Does the Licence Matter?

In Victoria, all electrical installation and repair work must be performed by a licensed electrician under the Electricity Safety Act 1998. DIY electrical work is illegal, voids home insurance, and creates serious risks. Here's what our team brings beyond the minimum.

Solar & battery experience built in

Most electricians can install a power point. Fewer understand how solar inverters, battery systems, and EV chargers interact with your switchboard and grid connection. Our team does both — which matters when you're upgrading a home's entire energy system.

Certificate of Electrical Safety issued on every job

Victorian law requires a Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) for most electrical work. Supply Solar issues this automatically — you receive documentation that protects your insurance and satisfies a landlord or building inspector.

In-house team — no subcontracting

Every electrician who arrives at your home or business is employed directly by Supply Solar. No third-party subcontractors, no variations in quality, and a single point of accountability if anything needs follow-up.

One call covers your whole property

Need a switchboard upgrade, a smoke alarm installed, and a quote for solar — all on the same visit? Our team can scope all three, saving you from coordinating multiple trades across multiple days.

Why Does My Power Keep Tripping?

Overloaded circuitToo many high-draw appliances running on one circuit simultaneously — common in kitchens and older homes with limited circuits.
Faulty applianceA single appliance with a wiring fault or insulation failure can repeatedly trip the RCD protecting its circuit. Unplug appliances one at a time to test.
Failing RCD (safety switch)An ageing RCD can become overly sensitive and trip under normal load — or fail to trip when it should. Both are safety issues that require replacement.
Moisture in a circuit or fittingWater ingress into an outdoor fitting, bathroom exhaust, or downlight can cause repeated RCD trips — particularly after rain or in humid conditions.
Deteriorating wiringOlder Melbourne homes (pre-1990s) often have wiring that is reaching end of life. Insulation breakdown causes intermittent faults that are difficult to trace without the right equipment.

Can't identify the cause? Call 0484 372 744 — our fault-finding team can usually diagnose and fix the issue in a single visit.

Fault Finding

How Do Electricians Find an Electrical Fault?

Electrical fault finding is a systematic process — not guesswork. Our licensed electricians work through your system methodically to isolate the fault before any repair work begins.

1

Listen to you first

When did it start? After rain? After a new appliance? The history narrows the fault type before we touch anything.

2

Isolate the circuit

We identify which circuit is affected and test each load on it — appliances, fixed wiring, and the RCD itself — to find what's causing the fault.

3

Test the wiring

Insulation resistance testing identifies wiring faults that cause intermittent trips — particularly useful in older Melbourne homes where wiring has degraded over time.

4

Fix and certify

Once the fault is identified, we repair it on the same visit where possible and issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

What Customers Say

Verified Reviews from Melbourne Homeowners

★★★★★

"Called Supply Solar for a switchboard upgrade before adding solar. The electrician was on time, explained everything clearly, and the whole job took less than half a day. No hidden costs, price matched the quote exactly."

Liam T.— Frankston, VIC
★★★★★

"Power kept tripping in our kitchen and two other electricians couldn't find it. Supply Solar identified a faulty isolator behind a rangehood in under an hour. Wish I'd called them first."

Priya M.— Glen Waverley, VIC
★★★★★

"Booked them to install smoke alarms across our rental portfolio — four properties. They coordinated the scheduling, turned up when they said, and gave me the paperwork I needed for compliance the same day."

FAQ

Electrician Services — Common Questions

How much does an electrician cost in Melbourne?
Electrician costs in Melbourne vary by job type. Most licensed electricians charge a callout fee plus an hourly rate, with the total depending on the complexity and duration of the work. Simple jobs like installing a power point or ceiling fan typically take 1–2 hours. Switchboard upgrades, fault finding, and smoke alarm installation vary more widely. Supply Solar provides a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins — contact us with your job details for a clear estimate.
What does a licensed electrician do?
A licensed electrician is qualified to perform all electrical installation, repair, testing, and inspection work in residential and commercial properties. In Victoria, all electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician under the Electricity Safety Act 1998. Supply Solar's electricians hold Victorian electrical contractor licences and are also CEC-accredited for solar and battery work — meaning one team handles both your electrical and renewable energy needs.
Do you offer emergency electrician services in Melbourne?
Yes. Supply Solar offers emergency electrician callouts across Melbourne and Regional Victoria. For life-threatening emergencies such as electrocution, fire, or electrical sparks, call 000 first. For urgent electrical faults — power outages, tripping circuits, exposed wiring, or switchboard failures — call Supply Solar on 0484 372 744 and our team will advise on next steps and response time.
Do I need a licensed electrician for all electrical work?
Yes. In Victoria, all electrical installation and repair work must be performed by a licensed electrician under the Electricity Safety Act 1998. This includes installing power points, replacing light switches, fitting ceiling fans, upgrading switchboards, and installing smoke alarms. DIY electrical work is illegal in Victoria, invalidates your home insurance, and creates serious safety risks. Supply Solar's team are fully licensed for all residential and commercial electrical work.
Why does my power keep tripping?
The most common causes of tripping circuits are: an overloaded circuit (too many appliances on one circuit), a faulty appliance drawing excess current, a failing RCD (safety switch) that trips under normal load, moisture or water ingress in an outdoor circuit or fitting, or deteriorating wiring in older properties. A licensed electrician can identify the exact cause with fault-finding equipment in most cases during a single visit. Contact Supply Solar to book an electrical fault finding assessment.
Are hardwired smoke alarms required in Victoria?
Yes. Under the Building Regulations 2018 (VIC), all new residential buildings and major renovations require interconnected, hardwired smoke alarms with a battery backup. All smoke alarms must comply with AS 3786. For existing homes, smoke alarms must be installed on every storey and near every sleeping area. Rental properties must have compliant smoke alarms installed and maintained by the landlord. Supply Solar installs and certifies smoke alarms for new builds, renovations, and rental compliance.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for solar or an EV charger?
A switchboard upgrade is often required when installing solar panels, a battery system, or a home EV charger — particularly in homes with older fuse-box style boards that don't have sufficient capacity or RCD protection. Supply Solar assesses your switchboard as part of every solar, battery, and EV charger quote, and includes any required upgrade in the installation scope so there are no hidden costs.
Is an electrical safety inspection required for rental properties in Victoria?
Yes. Under the Residential Tenancies Regulations 2021 (VIC), rental properties must have an electrical safety check conducted by a licensed electrician every two years, or within two years of a previous check. Landlords must keep records of the inspection. Supply Solar's licensed electricians conduct rental electrical safety inspections across Melbourne and Regional Victoria and issue the required documentation for landlord compliance.
