What We Do
Lighting Installation & Upgrades
Good lighting makes a real difference to how a home feels, from LED downlights and outdoor fittings to motion sensor lighting for driveways and entries. If your current lighting feels dated or is pushing up your power bill, an upgrade usually pays for itself quickly.
TV, Data & Home Technology
We install TV antenna points, wall mount TVs with hidden cabling, and structured data cabling so your wifi actually reaches every room. Modem relocations and home entertainment wiring are common requests for households running multiple devices off the one connection.
Appliances, Fans & Fixture Installation
We install and repair ovens, exhaust fans, ceiling fans, bathroom heat lamps and timer switches, the everyday fixtures that keep a home comfortable. These are usually quick, straightforward jobs, and getting them done properly the first time avoids repeat problems.
Home Renovations – Electrical
Renovating almost always means rethinking the electrical layout, and we handle rewiring, shed and workshop power, underground supply runs and pantry lighting. We work in alongside your builder or tradesperson as the project progresses.
Switchboards & Safety Upgrades
A lot of older Adelaide homes are still running on switchboards that were never built for modern power demands. We upgrade switchboards, install safety switches and surge protection, and add power points including recessed options for a cleaner finish.
Fault Finding & Electrical Repairs
A safety switch that keeps tripping or lights that flicker for no reason are two of the most common calls we get. We carry out fault diagnosis and troubleshooting to find the actual cause rather than a temporary fix.
How Licensed Residential Electrical Work Keeps Your Home Safe
Electrical faults are one of the leading causes of house fires in Australia. Choosing a licensed electrician in Adelaide is not just a legal requirement, it is the smartest decision you can make for your home's safety. Unlicensed or DIY electrical work might seem like a money saver in the short term, but the risks far outweigh any perceived benefit.
Licensed residential electricians are trained to identify hazards that homeowners often cannot see. An overloaded circuit, a deteriorating switchboard, or wiring that does not meet current Australian standards, these are the kinds of issues that cause serious problems down the line. Kennewell Electrical carries out safety inspections and fault finding to catch these issues before they become dangerous, giving you real peace of mind.
Switchboard upgrades are one of the most important safety jobs a residential electrician can carry out. Older switchboards were not designed to handle the demands of a modern home. Kennewell Electrical upgrades switchboards to current standards, installs safety switches, and fits surge protection to guard against power fluctuations. It is the kind of work that genuinely protects your home.
Safety switches, proper circuit protection, and compliant wiring all work together to keep a home safe. Kennewell Electrical makes sure every job is done to code and signed off correctly, so there are no corners cut and no nasty surprises later. That is what a licensed residential electrician in Adelaide should deliver.

Residential Electrician FAQ's
What does a residential electrician do?
A residential electrician handles all electrical work within the home from lighting installations and power point upgrades to switchboard replacements, appliance connections, TV and data cabling, and full renovation wiring. It covers a wide range of jobs that need to be carried out by a licensed professional to ensure the work is safe, compliant, and done correctly the first time.
Why do I need a licensed electrician for home electrical work?
Electrical faults are one of the leading causes of house fires in Australia, and all electrical work in a home must be carried out by a licensed electrician by law. A licensed electrician is trained to identify hazards that are not always visible, overloaded circuits, deteriorating switchboards, and wiring that does not meet current Australian standards. Unlicensed or DIY electrical work creates serious safety and insurance risks that far outweigh any short-term cost saving.
Will the electrical work be compliant and documented?
Yes. All work carried out by Kennewell Electrical is done by a fully licensed and insured electrician in accordance with Australian standards. Compliance documentation is provided for the work completed, which is important if your home is ever inspected by a building assessor or if an insurance claim arises. Cutting corners on electrical compliance creates problems down the line that are far more costly and stressful to resolve.
Do I need an electrician or can I do it myself?
In Australia, almost all electrical work inside a home must be carried out by a licensed electrician, it is not a matter of preference, it is the law. The only tasks a homeowner can legally do themselves are very limited, such as replacing a light globe or a removable appliance. Anything involving wiring, circuits, switchboards, or fixed connections must be done by a licensed professional, regardless of how straightforward it might seem.
How do I know if my home has an electrical problem?
Common warning signs include lights that flicker or dim unexpectedly, circuit breakers that trip regularly, power points that feel warm or make buzzing sounds, burning smells near power points or the switchboard, and appliances that keep blowing fuses. Any of these signs should be taken seriously and inspected by a licensed electrician promptly rather than monitored and hoped for the best.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
A circuit breaker that trips repeatedly is telling you something is wrong. It could be a faulty appliance drawing too much current, a circuit that is overloaded with too many devices, deteriorating wiring, or a developing fault somewhere in the circuit. Resetting the breaker and moving on is not a fix, the underlying cause needs to be identified and resolved by a licensed electrician before it worsens or creates a safety risk.
