Jake has been upgrading our house over the years, great service and great job :)
I recently had the pleasure of working with Jake from JPG Tech for electrical and data work at my home, and I couldn't be more impressed.
Jake has done work for me at my business and home. He's great to deal with, prompt and does the highest quality work.
Jake responded promptly to our job on hi pages, and gave us an extremely reasonable quote. He was efficient and professional and a really pleasant person to deal with. Will definitely use him for future projects, can't recommend him highly enough!
Jake attended our place for an after hours emergency call out earlier this week. He was efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable, and went well out of his way to help get us out of trouble despite the complexity of the issue. We would not hesitate to engage JPG Tech again.
My partner and I recently bought our first house we decided very quickly to complete renovations, we found Jake on hipages he has been absolutely amazing! His exceeded our expectations from day 1, nothing was too much trouble and he was fantastic.
Jake installed about a dozen ceiling and wall lights, garden lights, and a CCTV camera at our residence in Ferntree Gully. He was very professional, offered a more affordable quote compared to others, and left the work area cleaner than before.
Highly recommended!
Jake was professional, trustworthy and transparent. He provided high quality work at an affordable and reasonable price. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

With over 10 years of electrician experience, Jake, owner & residential electrician at JPG Tech knows Glen Iris better than any other.
Glen Iris is an established inner-eastern suburb of Melbourne, located approximately 10 kilometres south-east of the CBD across the City of Stonnington and City of Boroondara. With a residential population of around 26,000 people, the suburb is characterised by Victorian terraces, Edwardian cottages, and Californian bungalows, many still carrying original fuse boxes, rubber-sheathed wiring, and two-wire systems that fall short of current Australian electrical standards.
Renovation activity is high, and EV charger installations are an increasingly common request as electric vehicle uptake accelerates across the inner east. Commercial activity sits along Burke Road, with a mix of cafes, medical practices, and retail. JPG Tech services Glen Iris and neighbouring suburbs including Malvern, Hawthorn East, Camberwell, and Ashburton.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrician cost in Glen Iris?
JPG Tech doesn't charge hourly rates — we provide upfront fixed quotes after a free on-site assessment, so you know the full cost before any work begins. Pricing varies based on the scope of the job, your home's existing wiring, and the materials required. Common jobs like LED downlight upgrades, power point additions, and safety switch installations are competitively priced for Glen Iris properties. Call 0427 830 889 or submit a quote request online and we'll get back to you promptly.
Does JPG Tech service Glen Iris and surrounding suburbs?
Yes. JPG Tech services Glen Iris (3146) and surrounding inner-east suburbs including Malvern, Hawthorn East, Camberwell, Ashburton, and Toorak. We also operate across South East Melbourne and the Yarra Valley. If you're not sure whether we cover your specific address, give us a call — we most likely do.
My Glen Iris home has an old fuse box — is that a problem?
Yes, and it's common in Glen Iris given the suburb's proportion of period homes. Ceramic fuse boxes and two-wire ungrounded systems do not meet current Victorian safety standards, cannot support modern electrical loads (EV chargers, ducted air conditioning, induction cooktops), and present a genuine fire and electrocution risk. JPG Tech specialises in switchboard upgrades for period homes — we assess your existing panel, advise on the right upgrade, and install a fully compliant modern switchboard with RCD and surge protection.
Do I need council approval for electrical work in Glen Iris?
Most standard electrical work does not require council planning permits. However, a Certificate of Electrical Safety is required by Victorian law for all prescribed electrical work, and must be issued within 28 days of job completion. JPG Tech includes this certificate at no cost on any job over $300. For Glen Iris properties under heritage overlay, Stonnington or Boroondara Council guidelines may affect external work such as conduit routing or solar panel positions — we advise on this during the quote.
Can JPG Tech install an EV charger in my Glen Iris strata property?
In many cases, yes. Strata EV charger installations require body corporate approval and must comply with AS 2053 cable management standards. Load-sharing technology can prevent individual chargers from exceeding the building's shared electrical capacity. JPG Tech handles load calculations, switchboard assessment, body corporate documentation support, and professional installation. We have experience with strata-compliant installations across Melbourne's inner east.
Is my Glen Iris rental property electrically compliant?
Victorian rental regulations require landlords to maintain RCD protection on all circuits, functioning smoke alarms on every storey, and a property free from known electrical hazards. Many Glen Iris investment properties — particularly period homes — have not been updated to meet these requirements. Non-compliance creates genuine landlord liability. JPG Tech offers professional electrical safety inspections for rental properties, identifies compliance gaps, and issues the documentation you need for legal protection.
