Home Renovations in Canberra
Renovating an existing home often means working around old wiring that wasn't built for modern demands. We assess what's there, upgrade what needs it, and integrate new circuits cleanly into your existing setup.

Renovating an existing home usually means working around wiring that was never designed for how the space is used today. MTK Electrics & Air handles the electrical side of home renovations across Canberra, assessing what's already there and upgrading circuits, power points and lighting to suit the new layout.
We work in with builders and other trades to keep renovation timelines on track, and we flag anything that needs attention before it becomes a bigger issue. For renovations that include a bathroom, our bathroom renovations service covers that scope specifically.

What you get
What's Included
Electrical work on a home renovation generally includes:
Circuit assessment and upgrades
We check existing circuits against the renovation's new layout and upgrade anything that's undersized or outdated. This avoids overloading old wiring with new demand.
Power point and lighting changes
We add, move or replace power points and lighting to match the renovated space. Positioning is planned around how each room will actually be used.
Switchboard capacity checks
Larger renovations sometimes need more switchboard capacity. We assess this early so it doesn't hold up other renovation work.
Coordination with other trades
We schedule our work around builders, plasterers and other trades involved in the renovation. This keeps the whole project moving smoothly.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- Does a home renovation always require an electrical upgrade?
- Not always, but older wiring or switchboards often can't support a renovated space's new demands. An assessment early in the renovation process usually clarifies what's actually needed.
- Can existing power points be relocated during a renovation?
- Yes, power points can be moved to suit a new layout, though this depends on wall structure and existing circuit runs. It's best planned before walls are closed up again.
- What happens if old wiring is found during a renovation?
- Any wiring that's damaged, outdated or non-compliant gets flagged and discussed before proceeding. In most cases it can be upgraded as part of the renovation rather than treated as a separate job.
