181 Electrical started as a small local business and has grown into a licensed electrical team serving Melbourne. Their technicians are fully licensed and insured and provide electrical work ranging from routine maintenance and safety checks to emergency call-outs and commercial maintenance. They promote professionalism, up-to-date training, and a customer-first approach.
181 Electrical advertises a broad service offering for homes and businesses, including:
Domestic electrical repairs and installations (lighting, power points, ceiling fans).
Switchboard upgrades and safety switch installation.
Fault finding and electrical safety checks (including work aligned with Energy Safe Victoria requirements).
EV charger installation and split-system air-conditioning installs.
Smoke alarms, data cabling, security cameras and commercial maintenance.
24/7 emergency electrical services.
The business is based in Mitcham / Croydon (Unit 27/12 Irvine Street, Mitcham VIC 3132) and advertises coverage across Melbourne’s south-east suburbs and the CBD. They accept both residential and commercial bookings and publish a phone number and email for direct enquiries.
While 181 Electrical is not a home builder, they commonly carry out electrical work for a wide range of dwelling types, including:
Period and character homes — sympathetic rewires, safety upgrades and discreet lighting installations.
New builds and spec homes — pre-wiring, EV charger provisioning and switchboard installations for modern construction.
Renovations and extensions — kitchen and bathroom electrical fit-outs, lighting design and power relocation.
Multi-unit properties and strata buildings — planned maintenance, common-area lighting and landlord electrical safety checks.
This range reflects the company’s stated capabilities in renovations, pre-wires and commercial/residential maintenance rather than house-building itself.
181 Electrical’s typical customers include:
Homeowners wanting reliable domestic electrical repairs, safety checks, lighting upgrades or EV charger installs.
Landlords and property managers needing regular electrical safety certificates and two-year checks for rental properties.
Small businesses and commercial property owners who require planned maintenance, emergency repairs or tenant fit-outs.
Renovators and builders seeking pre-wiring and properly certified electricians for new-build or renovation projects.
