Tom Kerr, director of The Electric Crew

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.

Handover and support

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

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.
