Northcote is full of beautiful old Victorian and Edwardian homes, and a lot of them still have the wiring to match. We spend a big chunk of our week around High Street, Westgarth and Ruckers Hill sorting out tired switchboards and cloth-covered cabling in places that have never been touched since the '70s.

“My stepmum is a pensioner living alone with dementia and her power kept tripping. Jack understood the urgency, came the very next day and gave an extremely detailed, transparent quote. His team treated her with genuine care and respect — I felt completely comfortable trusting them in her home unsupervised. I wholeheartedly recommend Pender Electrical.”
“Jack upgraded our switchboard and replaced a few light switches. His communication was excellent — he took the time to explain what needed to be done and why, which made us feel confident. Professional and efficient, everything left neat and tidy, and he took all the rubbish with him. Fair, reasonable pricing and great value. Highly recommend.”
“Jack and Benjamin did a fantastic job installing our induction cooktop and electric oven, including running new connections. Jack did an onsite pre-check and explained everything clearly — and his quote was super competitive. Professional, friendly, fast communication, and they took care of the job end-to-end. Highly recommended!”
