LicensedElectricians & security installer
OfficialShelly installer
We’re a family-run team of licensed electricians based right here in Kew. From a new power point to UniFi security cameras, whole-home Wi-Fi and smart lighting, we look after Kew homes like they’re our neighbours’, because they are.
A Kew Business Since 2014
Tom Kerr started The Electric Crew in 2014, and we’ve been based in Kew ever since. Because we’re local, we can usually get to you quickly, and many of our clients are just a few streets away.
Tom personally designs and programs every system we install, and our A-grade electricians, Rodney and Joe, carry out the work. We show up when we say we will, explain things in plain English, and leave your home as clean as we found it.
We know Kew homes well, from Victorian and Edwardian houses to modern builds, and from Kew Junction to Studley Park.

Modern Technology for Kew’s Period Homes
Many of Kew’s beautiful older homes come with a few challenges. We see them every week:
- Thick double-brick walls that block Wi-Fi, solved with properly placed UniFi access points
- Old wiring and fuse boards that need upgrading before adding new appliances
- Heritage features you don’t want to change, which is why we use Shelly modules hidden behind your existing switches
- Long driveways and deep gardens that need well-placed cameras and lighting
We plan everything to look neat and respect the character of your home, with cabling hidden wherever possible.
★★★★★
Tom and Rodney are real professionals. We needed to install new outdoor lighting and CCTV cameras, and they did an absolutely fantastic job with putting in over 25 new Hue Outdoor lights and set up a Unifi monitoring system using their new G6 turrets which have worked flawlessly. They were very responsive and we got the job booked in just a few days after my initial inquiry.

Home Security for Kew Families
A good security system lets you see who’s at the door, keep an eye on the driveway, and check in on your home from anywhere. We design UniFi systems that bring cameras, doorbells, door access and Wi-Fi together in one app, with local recording and no monthly fees.
Tom holds a Victorian Private Security Licence (922-020-71S), so your system is installed properly and legally. Many of our Kew clients start with a few cameras or a video doorbell and add more later. Everything is designed to grow with your home.

Kew Electrician FAQs
Are you actually based in Kew?
Yes. We’re a local family business based in Kew 3101, and we’ve been looking after homes in Kew and the surrounding suburbs since 2014.
Do you do everyday electrical work, or just smart homes?
Both. Alongside security cameras, Wi-Fi and smart lighting, we do all the everyday jobs: power points, lighting, switchboards, smoke alarms, ceiling fans, ovens and fault finding.
How quickly can you come out?
Because we’re local, we can often get to Kew homes quickly. Call Tom on 0404 828 977 and he’ll let you know the next available time.
Can you work on older and heritage homes?
Yes. Much of our work is in Kew’s period homes. We’re careful with original features, and we use smart modules hidden behind existing switches so you don’t have to change the look of your home.
What are your hours?
We work Monday to Friday, 7:30 am to 5 pm. Get in touch any time and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
Is the first visit free?
