About Us | Hometown Electrical - Serving Every Corner of Melbourne

Built on Trust, Powered by Expertise

What started in 2008 with one electrician and a van has grown into Melbourne's most trusted electrical team. Not because we're the biggest, but because we've never forgotten the values that matter: showing up when we say we will, doing the job right the first time, and treating every customer's home in Hawthorn or office in Collins Street like it's our own.

Our founder, Michael, started after being frustrated with unreliable contractors. "I wanted to build a company where customers in Fitzroy get the same honest service as those in Toorak," he says. Today, whether it's Mrs. Chen in Box Hill needing emergency repairs or the new café in Brunswick requiring complete rewiring, our commitment remains unchanged.

We're not just electricians serving Melbourne - we're Hometown Electrical, Melbourne locals who happen to be expert electricians.

Honest & Transparent Pricing

No surprises, no hidden fees. Whether you're in Prahran or Preston, Kew or Keilor, you'll know the cost upfront. Our customer Sarah from Camberwell said: "Finally, an electrician who quotes what they actually charge!" We believe honest pricing builds lasting relationships across every Melbourne suburb.

Reliable When You Need Us

When we say 2pm, we mean 2pm - whether that's in Carlton or Caroline Springs. Our punctuality is legendary from Northcote to Narre Warren. Emergency at midnight in St Kilda? We're there. Scheduled maintenance in Malvern? On time, every time. Reliability isn't just our promise, it's our reputation.

Local Knowledge That Matters

We understand that heritage homes in Fitzroy need different approaches than new builds in Point Cook. Our team knows the quirks of 1940s wiring in Richmond, the challenges of apartment living in Docklands, and the specific needs of family homes in Glen Waverley. Local knowledge makes all the difference.

Expert Craftsmanship

Fully licensed, insured, and continuously trained. From complex commercial installations in Southbank to intricate heritage restorations in Hawthorn, our expertise shows in every job. We're the electricians other tradespeople in Brunswick recommend to their own families in Brighton.

Community-Focused Service

We're not a faceless corporation. We sponsor local football clubs in Footscray, support school events in Balwyn, and our kids play at the same parks in Albert Park. When you call us to your home in Yarraville or business in Windsor, you're supporting a local Melbourne family business.

Always Available When It Matters

Electrical emergencies don't keep business hours. Whether it's a power outage in Essendon at 3am or a safety issue in Sandringham on Sunday, our emergency team is ready. We've restored power to family dinners in Thornbury and kept businesses running in Collins Street - because we understand what matters to Melbourne.

Our Story of Trust & Growth

2008

Humble Beginnings in Richmond

Michael started with one principle: treat every customer fairly while doing the work he loves.

2012

Building a Team of Local Experts

Sarah joined from Fitzroy, bringing her expertise in heritage electrical work. David from Carlton specialized in emergency response. Together, they expanded our reputation for reliability across Brunswick, Collingwood, and beyond. Quality work speaks louder than advertising.

2016

Earned Trust Across Melbourne

Our reputation for honest pricing and expert work spread from Kew to St Kilda, Footscray to Brighton. Customers started calling us "the reliable ones" - whether it was office buildings in Melbourne CBD or family homes in Hawthorn, we delivered on our promises every time.

2019

Innovation Meets Tradition

We embraced smart home technology while preserving traditional craftsmanship. Installing cutting-edge systems in Docklands apartments and upgrading heritage homes in Armadale with modern safety standards. Innovation guided by expertise, reliability you can count on.

2023

Today, Hometown Electrical is the team Melbourne calls first. From Craigieburn to Frankston, Werribee to Ringwood, our reputation for honest service, reliable timing, and expert workmanship has made us the trusted choice for thousands of Melbourne families and businesses.

What Melbourne Says About Us

The Chen Family - Box Hill

"Called them for an emergency on Sunday night - power completely out with two young kids. Michael arrived within 30 minutes, fixed the issue quickly, and charged exactly what he quoted over the phone. Honest, reliable, and clearly expert at what they do."

Brunswick Coffee Co.

"Sarah completely rewired our heritage building while preserving all the character features we loved. Professional, on time every day, and the end result is better than we imagined. They're now our go-to for all three of our Melbourne locations."

Margaret - St Kilda

"David upgraded my entire switchboard and explained everything clearly. No pressure to buy extras, honest pricing, and cleaned up perfectly afterward. Finally found electricians I can trust completely. Already recommended them to my neighbors."
