Your home’s electrical system is the backbone of modern living—powering everything from your kitchen appliances and lighting to your air conditioning, entertainment systems, and home office equipment. At Averon Electricals, our team of licensed residential electrical services provides a comprehensive range of electrical services to keep your home safe, efficient, and fully functional.
Whether you need a simple power point installation, a complete switchboard upgrade, or a full home rewire for a major renovation, our experienced electricians deliver clean, compliant workmanship that meets all Australian electrical standards. We take pride in our attention to detail, transparent pricing, and commitment to leaving your home cleaner than we found it.
As both licensed electricians and CEC-accredited solar installers, Averon Electricals is uniquely positioned to handle all your home’s electrical needs—from traditional electrical work through to solar panel installation, battery storage, and EV charger installation. This means a single, trusted team for all your residential electrical requirements.
At Averon Electricals, we specialise in designing and installing high-performance residential solar systems for homes across Adelaide and South Australia. As CEC-accredited solar installers, we use only Tier-1 solar panels and premium inverters from leading global manufacturers to ensure your system delivers maximum energy production and long-term reliability.
Whether you live in a single-storey home in the northern suburbs or a multi-level property in the Adelaide Hills, our experienced team will design a custom solar solution that fits your roof, matches your energy consumption, and maximises your return on investment. We handle every step of the process—from the initial consultation and system design through to professional installation, electrical inspection, and grid connection.
With electricity prices in South Australia among the highest in the world, there has never been a better time to invest in residential solar. Generous government rebates through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) can reduce the cost of a quality solar installation by thousands of dollars. Averon Electricals makes the transition to solar energy simple, affordable, and hassle-free.
Our Residential Electrical Services
Switchboard Upgrades
Older homes throughout Adelaide often have outdated switchboards with ceramic fuses that no longer meet Australian electrical safety standards. Averon Electricals provides professional switchboard upgrades to modern safety switch (RCD) protected circuit breaker boards. A switchboard upgrade improves electrical safety, increases your home's capacity to handle modern appliances, and is essential before installing solar panels, EV chargers, or air conditioning systems.
LED Lighting Design & Installation
Transform the look and feel of your home with custom LED lighting design and installation. Our residential Electrical Services install recessed downlights, pendant lights, strip lighting, outdoor landscape lighting, and smart lighting systems. LED lighting uses up to 80% less energy than traditional halogen or incandescent bulbs, reducing your electricity bills while providing superior illumination and ambience throughout your home.
Safety Switch & RCD Installation
Safety switches (Residual Current Devices) are a legal requirement in Australian homes and the single most important electrical safety device protecting your family from electric shock. Averon Electricals installs and tests safety switches on all circuits including power points, lighting, hot water, and air conditioning circuits to ensure your home meets current Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000).
Power Point & Circuit Installation
Need additional power points for a home renovation, new appliance, or home office? Our licensed electricians install new power points, USB charging outlets, double and quad power points, and dedicated circuits for high-draw appliances like ovens, dryers, and air conditioners. All installations comply with current wiring rules and include proper circuit protection.
Ceiling Fan Installation
Ceiling fans are one of the most cost-effective ways to improve comfort in your home year-round. Averon Electricals installs ceiling fans in bedrooms, living areas, outdoor entertaining spaces, and commercial premises. We handle all electrical wiring, mounting bracket installation, and can integrate fans with existing light fittings and dimmer switches.
Air Conditioning Electrical Work
Our licensed electricians provide all electrical work required for split system and ducted air conditioning installations, including dedicated circuits, isolator switches, and switchboard upgrades. We work with all major air conditioning brands and ensure your installation meets manufacturer specifications and Australian electrical standards.
Smart Home Wiring & Automation
Future-proof your home with smart home electrical wiring and automation. Our residential electricians install structured data cabling, smart light switches, automated blinds wiring, home theatre pre-wiring, and integrated smart home systems. Whether you use Google Home, Amazon Alexa, or Apple HomeKit, we can wire your home for seamless smart automation.
Smoke Alarm Installation & Compliance
South Australian legislation requires all homes to have working smoke alarms on every level and in every bedroom. Averon Electricals installs and services hardwired, interconnected smoke alarms that comply with current Australian Standards. We also provide annual smoke alarm testing and battery replacement services to keep your family safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a residential Electrical cost in Adelaide?
Residential electrical rates in Adelaide typically range from $80 to $120 per hour plus materials. Many common jobs are quoted at a fixed price. For example, a standard power point installation costs $150–$250, a switchboard upgrade costs $1,200–$2,500, and a full home LED lighting retrofit costs $800–$2,000. Averon Electricals provides free, no-obligation quotes for all residential electrical work.
Do I need a licensed electrician for home electrical work?
Yes, all electrical work in Australian homes must be performed by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and extremely dangerous. Unlicensed electrical work can void your home insurance, create fire and electrocution hazards, and result in significant fines. Averon Electricals’ residential electricians hold current South Australian electrical licences and carry full professional indemnity and public liability insurance.
How often should a home electrical inspection be done?
We recommend a comprehensive home electrical inspection every 5 years, or whenever you purchase a new property, notice electrical issues, or plan a renovation. An electrical inspection checks your switchboard, wiring, safety switches, smoke alarms, and power points for compliance with current Australian Standards. Averon Electricals provides detailed inspection reports with recommendations for any required upgrades.
What is involved in a switchboard upgrade?
A switchboard upgrade involves replacing your old fuse board with a modern circuit breaker switchboard equipped with safety switches (RCDs). The process typically takes 4–6 hours and includes installing new circuit breakers for each circuit, fitting safety switches on all circuits, labelling all circuits, and ensuring compliance with current regulations. Your power may be off for 2–4 hours during the upgrade.
Do you offer emergency electrical services?
Yes, Averon Electricals provides emergency residential electrical services across Adelaide and surrounding suburbs. If you experience a complete power loss, burning smell from outlets, sparking wiring, or any situation that poses an immediate safety risk, call us immediately. Our emergency electricians are available 7 days a week and aim to respond within 60 minutes for urgent callouts.
Do I need council approval for solar panels?
In most cases, residential solar panel installations in South Australia do not require council approval as they are classified as complying development. However, if your home is heritage-listed or located in a specific overlay zone, additional approvals may be required. Averon Electricals will advise you on any permit requirements during your consultation.
Can you install EV charger at my home?
Absolutely. Averon Electricals is experienced in installing home EV charging stations for all electric vehicle brands including Tesla, BYD, Hyundai, and MG. We install dedicated circuits, switchboard upgrades if required, and can integrate your EV charger with your existing solar system to charge your vehicle using free solar energy during the day.
