Electrician for New Homes & Renovations Melbourne

Building or renovating is one of the most stressful things a household goes through. There are a dozen trades to co-ordinate, a programme that keeps shifting, and decisions that need to be made faster than you’re comfortable with.

Electrical is one of the trades where getting it right at the start matters most. Power points in the wrong place can’t be moved easily once the plasterboard is on. Insufficient lighting circuits can’t be added without cutting into finished ceilings. And an electrician who isn’t communicating with your builder creates delays that ripple through the entire project.

Luno Electrical works with Melbourne homeowners, builders, interior designers and architects on new builds and renovations across the inner suburbs. We communicate proactively, rough-in at the right time, and handle every stage of the electrical scope without needing to be chased.

How It Works

Engage us at design stage if possible — we advise on power point locations, lighting layouts and future-proofing provisions before anything is locked in.
We co-ordinate with your builder for rough-in timing, carry out the first-fix wiring, and pass inspections first time.
We return for final fix and commissioning once linings are complete — testing everything and issuing compliance documentation before handover.

Electrical decisions made at the wrong time in a build or renovation are expensive to fix. Adding a power point to a rendered brick wall costs ten times what it would have cost during the rough-in. A lighting circuit that wasn’t included in the original scope becomes a plasterboard cutting and patching job. And a builder who can’t get a final electrical certificate can’t hand over the building.

Choosing an electrician who understands construction sequencing — and who shows up when they’re supposed to — isn’t optional on a renovation. It’s the difference between a project that finishes on time and one that doesn’t.

A renovation with electrical done right means you move into a home where every power point is where you need it, the lighting is exactly as you designed it, every circuit is labelled and protected, and there’s a Certificate of Electrical Safety in the documentation folder. You’re not making do with outlets in the wrong places or living with lighting you compromised on because the right solution was added too late.

Commercial Fit-Outs & Refurbishments

We work with builders and project managers on commercial fit-outs, office refurbishments and hospitality renovations across Melbourne’s inner suburbs. Our team is experienced with heritage building constraints, body corporate requirements, and the sequencing demands of commercial construction programmes. We provide compliance documentation to meet building permit requirements on completion.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I book an electrician for a renovation?

As early as possible — ideally at design stage, before plans are finalised. This lets us advise on power point locations, lighting circuit layout and future-proofing provisions. At minimum, book us at least 4–6 weeks before rough-in is required to ensure availability and allow time for planning.

What electrical work is typically needed in a kitchen renovation?

Dedicated circuits for the oven and induction cooktop, additional double GPOs along the bench run, a dishwasher outlet, under-cabinet lighting, rangehood wiring, and potentially a switchboard upgrade if the existing board is at capacity. We design kitchen electrical layouts during the quoting process.

Do I need a Certificate of Electrical Safety for renovation work?

Yes. In Victoria, a Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) is required for all prescribed electrical installation work. This is a legal requirement, not optional. Your building surveyor or council inspector will typically require it as part of the occupancy or final inspection process.

What our customers say

Andrew and the team installed a Tesla wall charger at my home. They did an outstanding job and went over and above to make sure everything was done professionally and worked properly. Before finding Luno I spoke to many electricians and they often hadn’t done an electric car home charger installation before and didn’t seem to know what was involved. Andrew and the team at Luno quickly put me at ease because it was clear they knew how to install electric car charging. Would highly recommend.

Andrew and Alex were very professional and friendly, they took measures to not leave mess and tidied up after themselves. They were thorough in asking if we wanted switches changed etc to look the best. We love our new fans and bathroom heating light. Thank you
