Tom and his team are friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. Experienced enough to find hidden issues and resolve them in a timely manner. Even with extra work becoming necessary, didn’t go much over the original quote.

Tom was an absolute pleasure to have at our property. He came to help us with our home hub setup and was incredibly knowledgeable, professional and helpful throughout. Nothing was too much trouble, and he took the time to explain everything clearly, making us feel completely at ease. He was also extremely polite and courteous, and it was clear that he really cared about doing a great job. Highly recommend! Thank you Tom

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. Highly recommended! Update: Since this review Tom has helped to further upgrade a bunch of things at home including putting in dimmable downlights controllable by HomeKit, installing UniFi U7 Pro-XG Access Points, and more! You won't be disappointed going with Tom and his crew. Update 2: The guys have been back for numerous jobs like installing new GPOs and fixing up wiring. Thanks Tom, Rodney and Joe for the great work!

Tom, Rodney and Joe were great. I set up a UniFi wifi home network, mounted a TV, and made my driveway gate and garage door controllable via my phone. Tom was able to work out what I needed (including hardware requirements), and also made some additional suggestions which I was happy to go with. On the day, Rodney and Joe were pleasant and went through my options as they did the job. After all was done, I had hardware all neatly set up and the phone apps downloaded and ready to go. I do suggest them to have a recommended plasterer(s) and painter(s) that can help patch up and repaint walls where they had to make any holes and leave blank cover plates. It would just make things easier from my end for that second phase of work.

I recently had the pleasure of having Rodney, Sam, Joe, and Tom from The Electric Crew out to my place, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was a masterclass in professional service. Rodney and Sam set an incredible tone with their professionalism and friendly attitudes. They took the time to explain the process and made sure I was comfortable with the plan before they even started. Joe and Tom were equally impressive, showing a genuine willingness to go the extra mile to ensure every detail was perfect. Their politeness and positive energy made having them in the house a total breeze. One of the things I value most is how a crew treats our house. All four respected our home as if it were their own. They were incredibly tidy, organized, and unfailingly courteous throughout the day. It’s rare to find a team that maintains such a clean workspace while delivering such high-quality craftsmanship. The final result is top-tier. The job was completed to an exceptionally high standard, and it's clear these guys take immense pride in their work. If you’re looking for a team that combines expert skill with genuine integrity, look no further than this crew!

We were very happy with The Electric Crew’s service and speedy response when we lost power in parts of our house. Tom came at very short notice, assessed the problem and Rodney arrived to replace burnt wires and connections in the power box. The whole thing was completed in a few hours, cost was quite reasonable, and both Tom and Rodney very pleasant to deal with. Am very happy to recommend Electric Crew and to use their services again.

Have had the electric crew complete works for my house automating lights, setting up aps to manage the automation, Installing keyless front gate and door, and security cameras. These guys know there stuff and are enthusiastic about the tech they provide. I can know grant access to visitors and guests for defined periods of time, link lights at night etc. and have much better internet coverage across the whole house. Couldn't be happier with the service and the result.

Tom and his crew were recommended by Richmond Heat and grill to install some fans. Tom was very easy to deal with and Rodney and Joe arrived on time, worked quicly and cleaned up after themselves. I'd use them again no issues and confidently recommend them non worries

Highly recommended. Tom and the team installed a “Big Ass Fan” (The greatest – and most accurate product name in the history of the world) and some smart home infrastructure and lights. Great group of guys who did a wonderful job (and even vacuum’d up afterwards) – will use again. Highly recommended.

Had the crew install a series of assorted LED lights all on dimmers through out the new gallery space and they came up looking fantastic. Professional and very easy to deal with. Highly recommended.

Paul Birthisel
Home Owner

The electric crew is a very professional outfit that has completed top notch work every time I have needed them. On top of this Tom is a great person to deal with and always gets the job done in good time.

Tom also showed me some pretty interesting stuff to do with home automation which will most likely be their next job for me.

Can’t recommend them enough.

Jo Young

Very impressed with the service received from Tom. It was only a small job and it wasn’t a problem for him. Would highly recommend this company.

Brian Rodwell
Home Owner

The Electric Crew were first class. We had Tom come out, with no notice, on a Sunday evening as we had no power. From that point forward the communication they provided was first class, as were the repairs. Ben and Rob were terrific as well in keeping me informed as the repairs proceeded. They even dealt with Citypower for us. Highly recommended.

Tom came to the rescue when we had trouble with a circuit shorting. I was interstate, and my 18 year old was home alone. Tom went out of his way to drop past, check the system, and put my mind at rest. We are delighted to know he is in our area, and will definitely be calling on his services again!

outdoor flood light installation by melbourne electrician at Thornbury home
Drew Sullivan
Business Owner

I hired in Tom and his crew to install a large flood light outside my photography studio as well as troubleshoot some faulty power points.

I was impressed when Tom came out and quoted the job himself and equally impressed when the final invoice came in under than the initial price quoted.

Very professional team who I would definitely recommend.

Great Crew! Professional and friendly service. The entire experience from first contact through to the delivery was great. Tom thinks with you about what is possible and gives some great suggestions that made the difference. Installations done with skill. Highly recommend.

Home security system installation in local Melbourne area
John Pickering
Home Owner

I originally met Tom Kerr and his team at The Electric Crew through our landscapers (The Garden Company) as they use The Electric Crew to do all of our garden lighting. Tom has since separately installed an Environexus home automation system throughout the house to control indoor and outdoor lighting, pool lighting and equipment, garage door and alarm system.

I have been extremely pleased with the result and the quality of Tom and his team’s work. The Electric Crew have been completely accommodating and very helpful in explaining what could be done with the system / they obviously understand the Environexus system in detail including not only the physical electrical components but the underling IT systems that support the platform. Tom and the team have always turned up on site as per the plan and have been a pleasure to work with.
