I'm Marcus, the owner-operator behind Amped Up Electrical Adelaide, and Campbelltown is a suburb I get out to regularly.
Campbelltown sits toward the foothills side of the eastern suburbs, near the Torrens Linear Park and Lower North East Road, and it's around a fifteen-to-twenty-minute drive from my Vale Park base. Not on the doorstep, but a reliable run rather than a major trek.
Campbelltown's housing is largely solid brick family homes from the 1950s and 1960s on decent-sized blocks, built in the boom years as Adelaide's eastern suburbs grew out toward the hills. Homes from that era very commonly still run on the original ceramic-fuse switchboard, with a single RCBO or safety switch bolted on at some point rather than proper protection across every circuit — which is exactly the kind of setup I get called out to upgrade.
I quote every Campbelltown job clearly before I start, and because it's an owner-operated business, the person who gives you that quote is the same person standing at your switchboard doing the work.
The age of Campbelltown's housing stock drives what I'm called out for:
In June I upgraded the switchboard on a property on Acacia Avenue — a textbook example of what a lot of Campbelltown homes still have sitting behind the meter box. The existing board was an old ceramic-fuse setup with just a single RCBO module fitted at some point, meaning most of the circuits in the house had no real safety-switch protection at all.
I arranged driveway access ahead of the visit so the job could start straight away, then worked through a full board replacement: removing the old ceramic fuses and the single retrofitted module, and installing a modern switchboard with individual RCBO protection across every circuit in the home. Once it was in, I tested and labelled the whole board so it is clear at a glance what each circuit covers.
It is a common story in this suburb — a solid, well-built brick home from the 1950s or 1960s with electrics that simply have not kept pace, and a switchboard upgrade that brings the whole property up to a genuinely modern safety standard in a single visit.
Every installation is owner-operated by Marcus. Clean work, quality components, compliant installations.
Marcus films real jobs and callouts on the tools — no actors, no stock footage. This is what the work actually looks like.
I personally handle every job from quote to completion. Licensed electrician on every job — never handed off. When you call, you speak to me. When I arrive in Campbelltown, it's me doing the work.

A lot of Campbelltown's 1950s and 1960s brick homes still run on an original ceramic-fuse board with little or no safety-switch protection, which is exactly the setup that tends to fail without warning. If the power's out, a safety switch won't reset, or something smells hot, that's an emergency call — not a wait-till-Monday job.

Yes. It's a reliable drive from my Vale Park base and I service it regularly — most jobs can be booked within the same week.
It's common in this suburb's 1950s and 1960s homes, and it's worth upgrading rather than leaving. A board without proper safety-switch protection on every circuit is a real safety gap — I replace them with a modern Hager RCBO switchboard as a matter of course.
Yes. I hold South Australian electrical licence PGE 305056, and every Campbelltown job is completed to the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules.
No obligation, no pressure.
Thanks! Marcus will follow up with you shortly.
