Sandy Electrical is based right here in Mount Evelyn — switchboard upgrades, EV chargers, split system A/C, and property maintenance for the town we call home.
We don't just service Mount Evelyn, we're from here. This is where the van is parked overnight, so when you call about a job on your street, there's no travel time built into the price and no guessing at how long we'll take to arrive.
Mount Evelyn sits in the foothills of the Dandenong Ranges, with the Lilydale–Warburton Rail Trail running straight through town. Blocks here tend to be bigger than the suburbs down the hill — bush settings, established gardens, sheds, and the odd hobby farm. That means more properties with older switchboards, longer cable runs, and setups that need a tradie who actually understands rural and semi-rural wiring, not just a standard project home.
Home base — Mount Evelyn
Everything from a quick call-out to a full switchboard upgrade — done by the team that's already local.
Older Mount Evelyn homes and acreage properties often still run on original fuse boards. We upgrade to modern circuit breakers and RCD safety switches, sized correctly for bigger properties with sheds, pumps, or workshops on the same supply.
Residential electrical →Mount Evelyn sits in a bushfire-prone, tree-lined area where storms and fire-season outages happen. We install generator changeover switches so you're not running extension cords through a window when the power drops.
Learn more →Longer driveways and standalone garages are common on Mount Evelyn blocks. We install dedicated 7kW Type 2 EV chargers with a proper cable run from the switchboard — not a converted power point.
EV charger info →Bushland blocks hold heat differently to open suburban streets. We supply and install split systems sized properly for your home, unit and installation on one invoice.
Air con info →Smoke alarm compliance, RCD testing, and fault call-outs for the property managers and landlords with rentals in and around Mount Evelyn. Interconnected smoke alarm requirements matter more here given the bushfire rating.

Mount Evelyn properties typically sit on larger blocks than the suburbs further down the hill — sheds, workshops, aviaries, and the occasional bore pump are common. A lot of this infrastructure was wired in over the years without much planning, and switchboards are often undersized for what's now connected. We assess the whole property, not just the house.
Being in the foothills, Mount Evelyn loses power more often than a flat suburban grid during storms and fire season. Generator changeover switches and reliable interconnected smoke alarms aren't optional extras out here — they're practical necessities. We fit both regularly and can talk you through what your property actually needs rather than selling you more than that.
The Lilydale–Warburton Rail Trail runs straight through town, and the pocket around the shops and station has a mix of older weatherboard homes and newer infill builds. We do plenty of switchboard upgrades and EV charger installs for homeowners renovating in this part of town.
These smaller communities sit a few minutes from our base and get the same rural-property considerations as Mount Evelyn itself — bigger blocks, longer runs, and older infrastructure. We cover all of them at no extra call-out cost.
We're not a call centre and we're not driving in from somewhere else. When you ring 0431 605 694, you speak to Rob — the owner, and the person who'll turn up to do the work. No being passed between schedulers, no sub-contracting, no surprises. We give you a price before we start, turn up when we say we will, and leave the site clean.
