    Electrical Upgrades Canberra

    House Insulation Canberra always checks that your electrics are safe before we put any insulation in. A lot of older homes have loose wires, old fittings, or things that just need a quick fix. So, before we start the insulation job, we look through your roof or subfloor and check for anything unsafe. If something needs work, we get our licensed electrician to sort it out. 

    This makes your home safe and also complies with the regulations set by Access Canberra. 

    We also assist in everyday electrical jobs around the house. Many people ask us to upgrade things while we’re already there, and it saves them time later on. Whether you need a new power point, better lighting, new ceiling fans or a switchboard that can handle modern appliances, let us know and we’ll provide you with a competitive quote. 

    Electrical work we usually do before insulation

    Here are some of the common things we fix before insulation goes in (if required):

    • Damaged or exposed wiring in the roof
    • Circuits that require RCDs (safety switches)
    • Making the area safe around downlights, exhaust fans and flues
    • Outdated switchboards that need upgrading.

    These checks will prevent fire hazards and ensure the proper functioning of the new insulation.

    We handle booking directly with tenants

    We can also do general electrical jobs such as:

    • Installing new power points or new lights
    • Upgrading switchboards and safety switches
    • Installing ceiling or exhaust fans
    • Small electrical improvements around the home.

    These upgrades can make your home safer, easier to use, and more comfortable year-round.

    Certificates & compliance

    All work is carried out to meet the latest Australian Standards and ACT-specific regulations. This not only ensures your safety but also protects you in the event of future property sales or insurance claims. Whether it’s a minor upgrade or a full switchboard replacement, compliance is not optional—it’s essential. Our team double-checks every job before sign-off, giving you confidence that everything has been done properly, legally, and with your long-term interests in mind.

    How the process works

    Here’s what you can expect when you book with us:

    • Electrical: We check your home and point out any electrical issues
    • If electrical work is needed, we explain it in simple terms and give you a separate quote
    • Our electricians are licensed, and the price is consistently market-tested to ensure we remain competitive
    • Once the electrical work is done, we install your insulation and supply you with documentation for recordkeeping.

    From my initial enquiry where they responded quickly to the final installation was a matter of a few weeks. Always responsive and keeping me informed. They were also flexible and worked around our constraints. Very professional and would recommend highly.
    Sybil Wishart
    We recently had roof insulation installed at our home by Tom and the team at House Insulation Canberra. They also organised pre-insulation installation electrical works and a Certificate of Electrical Safety. The whole process was efficient and easy and we could not be happier with Tom and the team. They are responsive and professional and we can't recommend them highly enough.
    Ann Rendell
    The staff at House Insulation Canberra were friendly, professional and efficient. They successfully removed our old insulation and laid cross-hatch insulation batts equivalent to R7 insulation. We can already feel the difference in our home. It’s definitely much warmer.
    The team provided helpful advice and kept us updated about all stages of the project.

    Professionally, friendly and reliable. All of the things you want in a trade.

    House Insulation Canberra was a dream to deal with. They were well priced, punctual and easy to deal with. They explained everything thoroughly and gave us honest advice.

    On the day on install the team were on time, efficient and clean. I would recommend Dom, Tom and the whole team to anyone looking to upgrade their insulation!

    Their work has made a huge difference in our home, and we can’t wait to live much more comfortably now thanks to their work.

    Ellie has been just so helpful and patient with all matters connected to my installation of insulation to my townhouse. She is completely on top of all problems and has solutions to any queries. The fellows who installed the insulation were on time and very efficient with the work. I recommend House Insulation Canberra to anyone who is planning to upgrade their Insulation.

    Thank you Tom and Ellie for the excellent quality of your work and customer service. Ellie was fantastic in helping out with a possible rebate providing me with advice and paper work. Nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to the installer and electrician who both did a great job.
    George
    I want to express my thanks to the team at House Insulation Canberra. From Tom and Ellie in the office, to Dom and his team of installers, they were all such a pleasure to deal with. Not only are they great communicators, they also provided clear and honest advice for what I needed along with very competitive pricing. The part that impressed me the most is they went above and beyond in terms of customer service. They committed to doing the job in bad weather and also fixed a water leak in my roof which they didn’t have to do.

    This team is a great example of doing the very best for their customers and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for insulation services.
    Harriet Daly
    The team at House Insulation Canberra were great from start to finish, with excellent communication and professional work. They fitted my job in quickly, kept me up to date throughout and left the place spotless. I could feel the benefits immediately and now wish I'd contacted them to get the work done ages ago! Highly recommended.
    Rex Rumakiek
    Normally tenants sign a form at the completion of the job. This did not happen, so I can only say job well done. I cannot value the job because I dont know what is involved. Have a nice day.
    Esther Ooi
    I highly recommend House Insulation Canberra. We recently had ceiling insulation installed in our family home and we couldn't be more pleased with the outcome.

    From my first email communication to the completion of the installation, the whole process went very smoothly and professionally. I sought quotes from two other companies in Canberra - immediately HIC stood out as Tom took the time to answer my questions/concerns as this was a new process for me and they were not dismissive. I had mixed experiences from other competitors (I sought quotes from two other companies), but HIC's customer service stood out above the rest. Importantly, they listened to our needs and were able to offer a competitive price point.

    The installation process went well and we were pleased with the photo updates and prompt communication. Special thanks to Tom for all his advice and to the team who installed our ceiling insulation.
