Our team works regularly in suburbs like North Adelaide, Unley, and Hyde Park, as well as along busy corridors such as Anzac Highway and King William Road. We understand the mix of heritage homes and modern builds in these areas and tailor our approach accordingly.

Beyond core electrical work, we offer switchboard upgrades, LED upgrades, EV charger installation, battery systems, CCTV and security camera installation, pool electrical and heating, garden and outdoor lighting, ceiling fan installation, air conditioning installation, and home rewiring.

H. Irwin Electrical delivers reliable, code-compliant electrical solutions for Adelaide homes and commercial properties. Every service is carried out by licensed electricians who take safety seriously.
Many Adelaide homes, particularly older properties in suburbs like Plympton and Glandore, still run on outdated switchboards that were never designed to handle modern electrical loads. An overloaded or faulty switchboard is a genuine fire risk. We assess your current board, recommend the right upgrade, and install a new switchboard that meets current Australian standards.
Electric vehicle ownership is growing fast across Adelaide, and having a dedicated home charger makes a real difference to daily convenience. Our electricians install Level 2 EV chargers to suit your vehicle and your home’s existing wiring. We handle everything from the initial load assessment through to final commissioning and testing.
Switching to LED lighting is one of the fastest ways Adelaide households can cut power bills, especially given South Australia’s high electricity costs. We replace halogen and fluorescent fittings with quality LED alternatives that last longer and use significantly less energy. Our team matches colour temperature and brightness to each room for the best result.
Older homes in areas like Prospect and Beverley often have wiring that is well past its safe service life, including rubber-sheathed cables that degrade over time and become a hazard. A full rewire brings your property up to current safety codes and eliminates the risks associated with aging wiring. We work methodically to minimise disruption while the job is underway.
Adelaide leads Australia in solar uptake, and pairing an existing solar system with a quality battery means you can store the energy you generate and use it when it matters most. We supply and install battery storage systems from reputable brands, sized correctly for your household consumption. Our team handles the full installation including grid connection and system commissioning.
Pool electrical work in Adelaide must comply with strict Australian safety standards, and cutting corners here simply is not an option. We handle pool lighting, pool heating installation, heat pump installation, garden lighting, and all outdoor electrical for both new installations and upgrades to existing systems. All work is inspected and certified on completion.
We are a local team with real accountability. When you call H. Irwin Electrical, you deal with the same people from first contact through to job completion.

Electrical faults do not wait for a convenient time. Here are the most common issues Adelaide homeowners call us about, and what each one typically involves to fix.
Circuit breakers that trip repeatedly are telling you something is wrong with the circuit or the load placed on it. In many older Adelaide homes, the original wiring was never designed to carry the number of appliances a modern household runs. Repeated tripping can indicate overloaded circuits, a failing breaker, or a more serious fault in the wiring itself. Our electricians diagnose the root cause and carry out the correct repairs rather than just resetting the breaker.
A large number of properties across inner Adelaide suburbs were built in the 1960s and 1970s with wiring and switchboards that are now well beyond their safe working life. Old ceramic fuse boards offer no real protection against modern fault conditions, and deteriorating cable insulation is a genuine fire hazard. Warning signs include blown fuses, persistent tripping, and burning smells near power points. Upgrading the switchboard and rewiring affected circuits eliminates these risks and brings the installation up to current Australian standards.
Flickering lights are rarely just a loose globe. In Adelaide homes they often point to a failing connection at the switch, at the fitting, or further back in the circuit at the switchboard. Power fluctuations can also result from issues on the street-level network, but if the problem is isolated to your property it needs attention. Left unaddressed, a poor connection generates heat and can cause arcing, which is a serious fire risk. We trace the fault, replace the faulty components, and test the circuit before leaving.
Adelaide experiences intense storms, particularly through summer and autumn, and electrical systems take a hit when severe weather rolls through. Lightning strikes, fallen branches on power lines, and surge events can damage switchboards, appliances, and in-wall wiring. After a storm, if you notice tripping breakers, non-functional circuits, or visible damage near your meter box, do not attempt repairs yourself. Call 000 if there is immediate danger, then contact us to assess and repair the damage safely once the scene is clear.
When Adelaide residents search for an electrician near me, they want someone who can actually show up quickly, not a company based interstate taking calls through a call centre. H. Irwin Electrical is based in Glenelg and services the broader Adelaide metro area, from North Adelaide and Prospect through to the western beach suburbs and inner south.
If you are in Unley, Hyde Park, Henley Beach, or any nearby suburb and need a licensed electrician fast, we are close by and ready to help.
We provide reliable electrical services to homes and small businesses across Adelaide and nearby suburbs, with fast response times and quality workmanship.
Electrical work in Adelaide is typically priced by the job rather than a flat hourly rate, though call-out fees generally start around $80 to $120 and hourly rates from there range from $100 to $150 per hour. Larger jobs like a full switchboard upgrade may run from $1,200 to $2,500 depending on the board size and existing wiring condition. We provide a written quote before starting any work so you know the cost upfront.
Simple jobs like installing a power point or ceiling fan can be completed in one to two hours. A switchboard upgrade usually takes a full day, while a complete home rewire can take anywhere from two to five days depending on the size of the property. We give you a clear timeframe with your quote so you can plan accordingly.
In South Australia, most electrical work requires a Certificate of Compliance to be issued by the licensed electrician who carries out the work. This certificate is submitted to the Technical Regulator and forms part of your property records. For larger projects, your local council may also require a development approval. We handle all certification requirements as part of the job.
