New Year Electrical Check-In for Homes & Businesses in Melbourne

The start of a new year is when many of us reset goals, plan renovations, and get organised for what’s ahead. It’s also one of the best times to check in on your electrical setup, whether at home or in your workplace.

At Ferguson Electrical, January is always one of our busiest months. People return from holidays, projects restart, and small electrical issues suddenly become urgent. A simple check-in now can save stress, downtime, and unexpected costs later.

What’s worth checking at the start of the year?

Switchboards & safety
If your switchboard hasn’t been upgraded in recent years, or you’ve had circuits tripping over summer, it may be time for a safety upgrade to meet current standards.

Lighting upgrades
January is a great time to plan:

• Energy-efficient LED upgrades
• Garden and outdoor lighting
• Retail or office lighting refreshes

Better lighting improves safety, comfort, and first impressions.

Appliance and power point needs
New appliances, home offices, EV chargers, or commercial equipment often mean existing power points aren’t keeping up. Overloaded circuits are a common issue we see early in the year.

Smoke alarms & compliance
For rental properties, schools, and commercial spaces, ensuring smoke alarms and electrical compliance are up to date is critical before the year gets busy.

Why book early in January?

January fills quickly, especially once schools, builders, and businesses are back in full swing. Booking early means:

• More flexibility with scheduling
• Less urgency fees
• Peace of mind knowing things are sorted

If you’re planning upgrades, maintenance, or just want peace of mind, a New Year electrical check-in is a great place to start.
