Sandy Electrical — licensed electricians serving Ringwood and the wider Maroondah area. Switchboard upgrades, EV chargers, split system A/C, and property maintenance.
Ringwood is the commercial and transport hub of the Maroondah area — and it's where we spend a solid chunk of our working week. We're based in Mount Evelyn, about 15 minutes up the Maroondah Highway, which puts us close enough to respond quickly without the travel overhead of an inner-city sparky billing you for time on the freeway.
Ringwood's housing stock is a genuine mix. The established streets around Ringwood Lake and out towards Heathmont carry a lot of 1960s and 70s brick veneer homes — older switchboards, ceramic fuses, and wiring that's been there since the house was built. On the other end, the residential developments near Eastland and Ringwood Station bring a steady flow of unit maintenance, property management compliance jobs, and new install work. We handle both ends of that spectrum every week.
Recent switchboard upgrade, Ringwood area
The full range of residential electrical work — from quick call-outs to complete switchboard upgrades.
Ringwood's older homes frequently have ceramic fuse boards that are a safety risk and a problem for insurers. We upgrade to modern circuit breakers and RCD safety switches — properly sized for your home, compliant, and signed off with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Residential electrical →Ringwood's EastLink access makes it a natural commuter suburb, and EV ownership across Maroondah is growing fast. We install dedicated 7kW Type 2 EV chargers — properly wired from the switchboard, not just a converted power point. One visit, done right.

The established streets between Ringwood Lake and Heathmont are full of 1960s and 70s brick veneer homes. Most were built with single-phase ceramic fuse boards, and many still have the original wiring. If you're buying in this pocket, budget for a switchboard inspection. If you've had the same board for 30+ years, it's worth a look before something forces the issue.
The townhouse and apartment developments west of Ringwood Station — particularly around the Eastland precinct — often have shared meter board areas with individual sub-boards per dwelling. A fault in one unit can involve both the body corporate electrician and the individual owner's wiring. We know how to navigate this, and we're used to working with strata managers and owners corporations to get the right scope sorted quickly.
Homes in the Ringwood North and Warranwood pockets typically have more land, bigger garages, and older infrastructure. They're strong candidates for switchboard upgrades (often still on the original 1970s board), EV charger installation where there's a proper garage setup, and ceiling fan additions to larger living areas. If you're in this part of town and haven't had an electrical inspection in a while, it's worth a call.
The strip running from central Ringwood toward Croydon has a dense mix of investor-owned properties. We work regularly with real estate agencies in this area for smoke alarm compliance, RCD testing, and fault repairs on tenant call-outs. If you manage rentals here and need a reliable tradie who invoices clearly and turns up when booked, get in touch.
We're not a call centre. When you ring 0431 605 694, you speak to Rob — the owner and the person who'll be doing 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.

Yes. Switchboard upgrades from ceramic fuses to modern circuit breakers and safety switches are one of our most common Ringwood jobs. Ceramic fuses are a safety issue and many insurers won't cover homes that still have them. We can assess your board and give you a straight quote.
Yes, provided there's a suitable switchboard with spare capacity and a safe cable run to the garage or driveway. We assess this on the job and give you a clear price before we start. For strata properties, we can also liaise with the owners corporation if required.
Yes — we cover all of Ringwood including Ringwood East, Ringwood North, Warranwood, Heathmont, and the surrounding streets. No call-out surcharge for any of these areas.
