Electrical Repairs in Playford
The City of Playford sits in Adelaide’s outer north, around 30 kilometres from the CBD. Its centre is Elizabeth, the planned town built by the South Australian Housing Trust in the 1950s, which gives much of the area its run of solid post-war Trust brick and maisonette housing. Alongside that older stock, Playford is one of Adelaide’s fastest-growing council areas, with large new estates at Blakeview, Craigmore, Munno Para West and Playford Alive. So we see both original Trust-era switchboards overdue for upgrade and modern homes with heavy contemporary loads.
We carry out repair-first electrical work across Playford and its surrounds. We find the real cause of the fault and fix it at the source, rather than papering over a problem that comes back a fortnight later.
What we see in Playford homes
Common electrical call-outs across Playford include:
- Original Housing Trust-era switchboards and wiring that are overdue for an upgrade
- Missing RCD safety-switch protection on older boards
- New-estate homes adding heavy loads like ducted air conditioning, solar and EV charging
- Flickering lights, dead power points and safety switches that trip without an obvious cause
We diagnose before replacing anything, so you are not paying twice for the same fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
We have an original Housing Trust home. Does the wiring need updating?
Often, yes. Many Housing Trust homes still run their original boards and wiring from the 1950s and 60s, which were never built for today’s loads. We assess what is there and update it to current safety standards.
We're adding solar, a heat pump or an EV charger. Can you handle the electrical side?
Yes. Modern additions like solar, heat pumps, ducted air conditioning and EV chargers add significant load. We check your switchboard has the capacity and add properly protected circuits where needed.
Which suburbs around Playford do you cover?
Elizabeth and its surrounds, Davoren Park, Smithfield, Munno Para, Munno Para West, Blakeview, Craigmore and Angle Vale.
Should I upgrade my switchboard?
If your board still has ceramic rewireable fuses or no RCD safety switches, an upgrade is worth considering for both safety and reliability. We will assess it and give you honest advice on whether it is needed.
How much does it cost to find an electrical fault?
Our fault-finding call-out is $99. Once we have found the fault, you get a fixed price for the repair before any work starts, so you approve the figure first.
Are you licensed electricians?
Yes. Our electricians are fully licensed and have been working in Adelaide homes since 1996, with all work completed to current Australian safety standards.
