Got Questions?
Here are answers to the questions we get asked most. Don't see yours? Call us on 1300 624 679 - we're happy to help.
Main Switch Electrical has been serving Melbourne's North-East for over a decade. In that time we've built our reputation on three things: showing up on time, quoting honestly, and standing behind every job with a lifetime warranty.
We are 100% locally owned and operated. We're based in Melbourne's North-East and our team works exclusively across suburbs like Epping, South Morang, Bundoora, Mernda, Greensborough, and surrounds. You'll speak to the same people who show up at your door.
Yes. Main Switch Electrical works across domestic, commercial, and industrial electrical projects. Our residential work includes home solar systems, EV chargers, switchboard upgrades, and general electrical. Our commercial and industrial work includes scheduled maintenance, industrial automation, CCTV, and audio-visual system installations.
We service Melbourne’s North-East including Epping, South Morang, Lalor, Bundoora, Greensborough, Thomastown, Mernda, Diamond Creek, Wollert, and Preston. For jobs outside these areas, call us on 1300 624 679 and we’ll let you know if we can help.
Our lifetime warranty covers the quality of our workmanship on every job we complete. If a fault develops because of how we installed something, we return and fix it at no cost – any time, no expiry. This applies across all our services including electrical, solar, and EV charger installations.
Yes. Only solar systems installed by a CEC Accredited installer are eligible for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) – the federal government rebate that reduces your upfront solar cost. Main Switch Electrical is fully CEC Accredited. Every residential and commercial solar installation we complete is eligible for the STC rebate scheme, and we handle all the rebate documentation on your behalf.
We service Epping, South Morang, Lalor, Bundoora, Greensborough, Thomastown, Mernda, Diamond Creek, Wollert, and Preston. For larger commercial and industrial projects we also take on work across broader Melbourne. If you are unsure whether we service your suburb, call 1300 624 679 and we will confirm immediately.
Yes. In most cases solar battery storage can be retrofitted to an existing system, subject to inverter compatibility. We assess your current setup, your household or business consumption data, and your grid tariff structure before recommending the correct battery capacity for your situation. Where your existing inverter is not compatible with AC-coupled battery storage, we advise on your options clearly before any work is proposed.
Most residential solar installations are completed in a single day. Larger commercial, industrial, or battery-inclusive installations may take two to three days depending on system size and site conditions. We provide a specific timeline when we issue your fixed-price quote. Any variation to that timeline is communicated to you in advance.
Yes. Our maintenance and support service is available for solar systems regardless of who installed them. We carry out visual inspections, performance data reviews, and written condition reports. Where faults or degradation are identified, we provide a fixed-price remediation quote before any repair work begins. We are a licensed electrical contractor so we can also respond to urgent system faults including inverter failures and protection trips.
Yes. All electrical work performed by Main Switch Electrical complies with AS/NZS 3000 Australian Wiring Standards and all relevant Victorian electrical safety regulations. A Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued for every job that requires one. Our EV charger installations also comply with the specific circuit, RCD, and mounting requirements for EV charging equipment. We do not take shortcuts on compliance.
When you book with Main Switch Electrical, we provide a specific arrival window – not a broad four-hour block. If we arrive outside that window without having contacted you in advance to reschedule, we give you $50 cash before the job starts. No paperwork, no conditions. We introduced this because we know how frustrating it is to wait around all day for a tradie who does not respect your time.
