Canterbury is known for its grand homes, established gardens and beautiful street frontages. We help you protect and enjoy them, with discreet UniFi security cameras, whole-home Wi-Fi, and garden and entrance lighting that shows your home off at night.
Electricians Who Respect Your Home
The Electric Crew is a family-run team of licensed electricians based nearby in Kew. Tom personally designs and programs every system we install, and he has a good eye for what suits a home as well as what performs.
In Canterbury, that matters. Cameras shouldn’t clutter a beautiful facade, cabling should be hidden, and original features should stay intact. We plan every job around the character of your home, then leave it as tidy as we found it.
From a single power point to a fully connected home, no job is too big or too small.
Discreet Security for Canterbury Homes
Security cameras shouldn’t spoil your frontage. We choose discreet UniFi camera models and positions that watch your entry, driveway and side access without cluttering the house.
- Wired cameras with clear night vision and local recording
- No subscription fees, and everything in one app
- Video doorbells and keyless entry, so you can see and let in visitors from anywhere
- Entrance lighting that comes on as you arrive home
Tom holds a Victorian Private Security Licence (922-020-71S). Security cameras · Doorbells and smart entry

Working with your garden designer
We often work alongside garden designers and landscape architects on Canterbury gardens, so the lighting brings out the design rather than competing with it. If you’re landscaping, get in touch early. It’s much easier to run cabling before the planting goes in.

Canterbury Electrical Projects
Entrance and Garden Lighting
When the family dog chewed through the front garden light cables, we replaced the lights with copper spike lights and ran the new cabling through conduit, so the dog can’t get to it again.
Alfresco Fan, Heating and Sound
For this Canterbury alfresco, we installed an outdoor ceiling fan, outdoor heating panels and a sound system controlled from the owners’ phones, turning it into a year-round living space.
LED Kitchen Lighting Upgrade
Old halogen downlights replaced with warm, high-quality LEDs, plus strip lighting under the benches and shelves for better light in the pantry and over the work areas.
Lighting and Power Points
New lighting and extra power points where the owners needed them. Structural issues and limited ceiling access made it tricky, so we found a neat solution without major disruption.
Canterbury Electrician FAQs
Will security cameras spoil the look of our home?
Not when they’re placed well. We choose discreet camera models and positions that cover the right areas while keeping your frontage looking clean.
Can you get Wi-Fi out to the garden?
Yes. With a UniFi network, we can add weatherproof outdoor access points, so you have coverage in the garden, by the pool or in an outdoor studio.
Can you automate our existing garden lights?
Usually, yes. We can add automation to your existing garden lighting so it switches on at sunset and can be controlled from your phone, without digging up the garden.
Do you work with garden designers and builders?
Yes. We regularly work alongside garden designers, landscape architects and builders, and can install to their plans or help create a lighting plan.
Do you service Canterbury?
Yes. We’re based nearby in Kew and work in Canterbury, Camberwell, Balwyn and the surrounding suburbs every week.
