Electricians who do more than wiring. UniFi security cameras, whole-home Wi-Fi, smart lighting and everyday electrical work for Camberwell homes, designed by Tom and installed by our local crew from just up the road in Kew.
Your Local Electricians for Camberwell
Camberwell’s Edwardian, Federation and interwar homes are beautiful, but they weren’t built for today’s technology. Thick brick walls block Wi-Fi, older switchboards struggle with modern appliances, and nobody wants to chase new cables through original plaster.
The Electric Crew is a family-run team of licensed electricians based nearby in Kew. Tom personally designs and programs every system, and our A-grade electricians install it neatly, respecting the character of your home. From a single power point to a fully connected home, we can usually get to Camberwell quickly.

Renovating a Camberwell period home?
The best time to plan lighting, data cabling, Wi-Fi access points, cameras and smart switches is before the walls are closed up. Tom can work with you, your builder or your designer early on, so everything is in the right place and you won’t need to cut into new plaster later.

Camberwell Electrician FAQs
Do you service Camberwell?
Yes. We’re based nearby in Kew and work in Camberwell, Canterbury, Hawthorn and the surrounding suburbs every week.
Do you do everyday electrical work, or just smart homes?
Both. Alongside security cameras, Wi-Fi and smart lighting, we do power points, lighting, switchboards, smoke alarms, ceiling fans, ovens and fault finding.
Why UniFi instead of a camera from the shops?
Many consumer cameras rely on Wi-Fi and batteries, drop out, and need monthly subscriptions. Wired UniFi cameras record locally with no subscription, and work with your doorbell and Wi-Fi in one app.
Can you automate a period home without rewiring?
Usually, yes. Shelly modules fit behind your existing switches and connect over Wi-Fi, so most homes need little or no new cabling, and your original switch plates can stay.
Why is my Wi-Fi so bad at the back of the house?
Solid brick walls and rear extensions block Wi-Fi signals. A single router or mesh kit often isn’t enough. We install UniFi access points, cabled back to the router, so every room gets a strong, stable connection.
Is the first visit free?
Yes. Tom’s first consultation is free. He’ll look at what you need and give you clear advice and a quote before any work starts.
We Also Look After Nearby Suburbs
As well as Camberwell, we work across Melbourne’s inner east, including Surrey Hills and Glen Iris.
