Common Electrical Issues We Solve in Adelaide
Electrical issues don’t always seem serious at first—but small signs often point to bigger problems developing behind the walls. Acting early protects your property, keeps your family or business safe, and prevents costly repairs. Here are some of the most common electrical faults we help Adelaide locals with.
Flickering or Dimming Lights
You may notice lights flickering or dimming when other appliances turn on. This often points to loose wiring, poor connections, or overloaded circuits. If ignored, it can lead to overheating, arcing, or potential electrical fires. Our team checks the wiring, inspects your circuit load, and carries out safe, compliant repairs to restore stable lighting.
Circuit Breakers Keep Tripping
If your power cuts out regularly or breakers trip when using appliances, there’s likely an overload or fault in the circuit. This usually means your switchboard isn’t handling the current draw properly or faulty wiring is triggering protection systems. Leaving it unresolved can damage equipment or increase fire risks. H. Irwin Electrical will assess the load, identify the fault, and upgrade or balance your system as needed.
Power Outlets Not Working
A dead outlet may not seem urgent, but it’s often a sign of loose wiring, internal damage, or circuit faults. You might also notice buzzing, sparking, or heat from the outlet. Ignoring it could lead to electric shock or fire hazards. We test the outlet, trace the wiring fault, and complete safe repairs or replacements to restore power and protect your system.
Burning Smell or Hot Switches
If a switch or outlet smells burnt or feels hot, it’s a clear warning of overheating inside the wall. This could be caused by loose connections, failing components, or overloaded wiring. If not fixed quickly, it can result in melting insulation, sparking, or a house fire. Our licensed electricians isolate the fault, replace damaged components, and ensure all connections meet Australian safety standards.
If you’ve noticed any of these issues, don’t wait. Get in touch with our team today for fast, licensed electrical service.

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a question? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about our electrical services across Adelaide.
Do you install EV chargers for all vehicle types?
Yes, at H. Irwin Electrical we install EV chargers compatible with all major electric vehicle brands. Whether it’s for a home garage or a workplace setup, we’ll supply and install a charging unit that suits your vehicle and available power supply. We assess your switchboard beforehand to make sure it can handle the extra load safely, and we carry out all work in line with current Australian electrical standards.
Our installations include both single-phase and three-phase chargers, depending on your speed and energy needs. Once installed, we’ll test the unit, walk you through usage, and leave the site clean and ready to go.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost and what does it involve?
A standard switchboard upgrade usually costs between $800 and $2,000 depending on your property’s current setup, board size, and whether extra upgrades like mains or earthing are required.
The process includes removing the outdated switchboard, installing a new compliant board with modern safety switches, and carrying out full system testing. At H. Irwin Electrical, we also inspect your earthing and main connections to ensure everything is safe, secure and up to code.
Switchboard upgrades are often necessary when installing new appliances, EV chargers, or air conditioning units, as older boards may not support modern power loads. It’s one of the most important upgrades you can make to protect your home and meet current Australian Standards.
Can you move existing power points or light switches to a new location?
Yes, we regularly relocate power points and switches to better suit room layouts, renovations or accessibility needs. At H. Irwin Electrical, we carefully disconnect the existing fittings, run new cabling to the desired location, and ensure the work is done neatly and to Australian Standards. This service is often used during kitchen remodels, bedroom updates or when homeowners need more practical switch placement.
We also seal or patch the old locations as needed, leaving a clean finish. All work is carried out by licensed electricians, so you can be confident in both safety and appearance.
How long does it take to rewire a house in Adelaide?
Rewiring a home in Adelaide with H. Irwin Electrical typically takes between 3 to 7 working days, depending on the size and structure of the property. Single-storey homes with good ceiling access are generally quicker, while older or double brick homes may take longer due to more complex cabling paths. The job includes removing old or unsafe wiring, installing new compliant cables, upgrading power points and switches, and updating the switchboard if needed.
We plan our work to reduce disruption and can stage the rewire if you’re living in the home during the process. After completion, we test the entire system and issue compliance documentation to confirm everything meets Australian electrical standards.
