New Home Wiring in Canberra
Building a new home means getting the electrical fit-out right from the ground up, covering everything from power points and data cabling to smart-home provisions. We work closely with builders to make sure the wiring is done correctly the first time, with no costly rework later.

Building a new home involves a full electrical fit-out, from the first-fix wiring through to switchboards, power points and final connection. MTK Electrics & Air works with builders and owner-builders across Canberra to deliver new home wiring that's planned properly from the start, not pieced together as the build progresses.
We map out circuits early, so power, lighting and data points end up exactly where you'll actually use them, and we stay in step with the build schedule to avoid holding up other trades. If your new build includes a bathroom fit-out, our bathroom renovations service covers that in more detail.

What you get
What's Included
Our new home wiring service typically covers:
First and second fix wiring
We complete first-fix wiring before walls close up, then return for second fix once fittings are ready to install. This staged approach keeps the build on track.
Switchboard and power installation
We install a fully compliant switchboard sized to the home's actual power needs. All circuits are safety-switch protected from day one.
Lighting and data points
We plan and install lighting circuits and data cabling based on how each room will be used. This avoids awkward retrofits later.
Final connection and compliance
We handle the final connection process and make sure everything meets current wiring rules. You're left with a fully certified, ready-to-use electrical system.
Common questions
Frequently asked questions
- When should electrical wiring be planned during a new home build?
- Wiring needs to be planned early, ideally at the design stage, so power points, lighting and data cabling line up with how each room will be used. Leaving it too late usually means costly changes once walls are up.
- What's the difference between first fix and second fix wiring?
- First fix happens before walls are closed in and covers the cabling itself, while second fix happens once fittings, switches and outlets are ready to install. Both stages need to align with the broader building schedule.
- Does a new home need any special electrical planning for future upgrades?
- It's common to include extra circuit capacity or conduit runs during the build, even if they're not used immediately. This makes future additions, like solar or extra power points, much simpler to add later.
