Why Yarra Valley locals choose JPG Tech

We're actually local, not visiting

Based in Monbulk, we know the Valley's quirks: long rural driveways, properties on SWER and rural feeders, sheds and second dwellings set well back from the house, and the storm season that takes the power out. We're not adding a travel surcharge to reach you, and we can usually get to Lilydale, Wandin, Seville or Healesville quickly.

Fixed quotes, no hourly rates

JPG Tech doesn't charge by the hour. You get an upfront fixed quote after a free on-site assessment, so you know the full cost before we start. Pricing depends on scope, your property's existing wiring, and materials — never a meter running while we work.

Built for rural and acreage properties

Underground power runs to sheds, pumps, gates and granny flats; three-phase for workshops and irrigation; automatic backup generators for when the grid drops out. This is the work we specialise in — not an add-on.

Free safety inspection with every job

Every JPG Tech job includes a free safety check of your switchboard and RCDs. In the Valley's older housing stock and bushfire-prone areas, that matters, so we'll flag ceramic fuse boxes, missing safety switches and compliance gaps before they become a problem.

Jake undertook two jobs for us. The first was wiring our generator into our power box and installing an external switch. He returned again to wire a couple of external lights. For both jobs Jake arrived punctually, ready and eager to work. Jake's attitude and skills are first rate.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an electrician cost in the Yarra Valley?

JPG Tech doesn't charge hourly. We give you an upfront fixed quote after a free on-site assessment, so you know the full cost before work begins. Price depends on scope, your property's wiring and materials. Common jobs — switchboard upgrades, LED downlights, safety-switch replacements — are competitively priced with no travel surcharge, because we're based in the Valley.

Which Yarra Valley towns do you service?

All of them, plus the surrounds — Lilydale, Mount Evelyn, Silvan, Monbulk, Wandin, Seville, Coldstream, Yarra Glen, Healesville, Woori Yallock, Yarra Junction and Warburton. If you're unsure whether we cover your address, call us. We most likely do.

Can you run underground power to my shed or second dwelling?

Yes — underground power is one of our specialties. We run compliant underground circuits to sheds, workshops, pumps, gates, studios and granny flats across acreage properties, sized correctly for the load and the distance from your main switchboard.

Do you install backup generators for power outages?

Yes. Rural feeders in the Valley drop out in storms, so we install automatic changeover backup generators for homes, farms and businesses — the same Kohler systems we fitted at Haig Nursery in Monbulk. They start themselves when the grid fails and switch back automatically when it returns.

Can you install an EV charger on a rural or acreage property?

Yes. We install Level 2 hardwired EV chargers across the Valley, starting with a switchboard capacity check. For long driveways, limited-capacity homes or off-grid/solar setups, we install smart chargers with solar integration and load-sharing.

My older Yarra Valley home has a ceramic fuse box. Does it need replacing?

Almost certainly. Ceramic fuse boxes are common in the Valley's older housing and don't meet current Victorian safety standards: no RCD protection, no capacity for modern loads, and a genuine fire risk in a bushfire-prone area. Energy Safe Victoria says every home should have a safety switch on its switchboard, and recommends a licensed electrician check the wiring of any house over 30 years old. We replace them with fully compliant modern switchboards.
