Most electricians do the wiring. We design and install the whole system: security cameras, Wi-Fi, video doorbells, smart lighting and everyday electrical work, done properly by a local family business that looks after its clients for years.

A Local Family Business Since 2014
Tom Kerr started The Electric Crew in 2014 with a simple idea: do the job properly, communicate clearly, and look after people so they become clients for life.
Tom personally designs and programs every system we install. Our A-grade electricians, Rodney and Joe, carry out the installs under his guidance, and Tom’s wife Simone looks after the office and marketing behind the scenes.
We’re based in Kew and look after homes across Melbourne’s inner east and north, so we’re never far away when you need us.
What Sets Us Apart
More than an electrician
One tech-savvy expert for your Wi-Fi, cameras, doorbell, lighting, TVs and speakers, as well as all your everyday electrical work. No juggling different trades.
UniFi specialists
Security cameras, Wi-Fi, video doorbells and door access on one professional platform, managed in one app, with no subscription fees.
Official Shelly installer
Smart lighting control and energy monitoring hidden behind your existing switches, so they still work normally.
The right system, first time
Tom knows which products actually perform. He’ll steer you away from ones that won’t, so you’re not replacing them a year later.
On time, tidy and easy to deal with
We call and show up when we say we will, explain things in plain English, and leave your home as clean as we found it.
Licensed and accountable
Licensed electricians and a Victorian security licence (922-020-71S), so cameras, alarms and access control are installed properly and legally.

What Our Clients Say
What We Can Help With
Common Questions
Who will actually do the work?
Tom designs and programs every system himself. Our A-grade electricians, Rodney and Joe, carry out installs under his guidance. You won’t be passed to a call centre or a subcontractor.
Do you still do everyday electrical work?
Yes. Alongside cameras, Wi-Fi and smart home systems, we do switchboard upgrades, lighting, power points, smoke alarms and general electrical work.
Can we start small?
Absolutely. Many clients start with better Wi-Fi or a few cameras and add a doorbell, door access or smart lighting later. Everything is designed to grow with your home.
How is your work priced?
The first consultation is free. Work is then charged at an hourly rate, and Tom gives you a clear quote before anything starts.
