Electrician Ashburton – Amber Pro Electrical Solutions
Ashburton mixes Victorian, Edwardian and Californian bungalow homes with a large amount of post-war housing originally built for returning servicemen. Much of that stock has since been renovated or extended, and the suburb has gentrified steadily around the Ashburton Village and High Street shopping strip.

Why Ashburton Homeowners Choose Amber Pro
Homes that have been extended in stages tend to share a problem. A kitchen updated in one decade, a rear extension in another, a bathroom more recently. Each addition increases the load, and the switchboard is rarely touched because there is no visible reason to.
Under AS/NZS 3000, new and altered circuits require residual current device protection. If an extension adds circuits and the existing board has none, or has no spare capacity, the board is what makes the rest of the work signable rather than an optional extra.
Lighting is the other common issue in renovated period homes. Mixing dimmable and non-dimmable LEDs on one circuit, or pairing an older dimmer with modern LED drivers, produces buzzing and flicker. The fix is matching the dimmer to the actual load.

Proudly Local to Ashburton and Surrounding Areas
We cover Ashburton along with Glen Iris, Camberwell, Burwood and the wider eastern suburbs, and are used to working around a live renovation rather than an empty house.
The Cheapest Time Is While the Walls Are Open
If any part of the house is being renovated, that is the moment to do the electrical work you have been putting off. Outlets, data cabling and lighting circuits cost a fraction to install before the plaster goes on. Retrofitting the same work afterwards means opening walls that were just finished.
For more on the work itself see our pages on switchboard upgrades, EV charger installation and our emergency electrician service.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does a renovation mean the switchboard has to be upgraded?
Often, if the work adds circuits and the existing board has no residual current device protection or no spare capacity. New and altered circuits bring that requirement into play under AS/NZS 3000, so a licensed electrician cannot sign the work off otherwise. It is cheaper to know before the build starts.
Why do downlights buzz or flicker?
Usually a mismatch between the dimmer and the LED driver, or dimmable and non-dimmable fittings sharing a circuit. It is common in homes where lighting has been added in stages. Matching the dimmer to the actual load resolves it.
Can you work alongside our builder?
Yes. Coming in at the right stage of a renovation, before wall linings go on, saves money and avoids the situation where new circuits have nowhere compliant to land.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
We provide clear, upfront pricing before any work begins. You’ll know the cost before proceeding — no hidden surprises.
Is your work compliant and certified?
Yes. All electrical work is completed in line with Australian Standards and certified where required.
Do you offer emergency electrical services?
Yes. We provide emergency electrical support for safety-related issues, including power faults and electrical hazards.
