I'm Marcus, and Evandale is one of the shorter trips from my Vale Park base — along Payneham Road or Lower Portrush Road and I'm usually there inside 10-15 minutes. It's a suburb I service regularly without it eating into the rest of the day.
Evandale is a small, established pocket tucked between Payneham Road and Lower Portrush Road, made up mostly of post-war brick homes built in the 1950s and 60s on modest blocks. Most of these houses are on their second or third generation of owners by now, and while the block itself has usually been kept up well, the wiring underneath is often original — a switchboard that was fine for a fridge, a radio and a couple of lights back when the house was built, being asked to run a lot more today.
That's the pattern I see across most Evandale calls: an ageing board with no individual circuit protection, a shortage of power points for how the house is actually used now, or a fault that's been quietly getting worse. If that sounds like your Evandale home, call 0468 008 822 and I'll come and have a proper look.
Evandale's post-war brick homes bring a fairly typical list of jobs:
Two Evandale jobs are currently on my books — one on Janet Street from May 2026, and another on Belinda Street from July. Both came through in the ordinary way people usually reach me, and both are typical of the calls I get from this pocket near Payneham Road: an ageing switchboard or a fault nobody's had a proper look at since the house was built.
Evandale is mostly post-war brick homes on modest blocks, put up in the 1950s and 60s, and by now most of them are on their second or third generation of owners. The wiring underneath, though, is often original — a board that was fine for a fridge and a kettle decades ago and is being asked to run a lot more today. I'll have both of these Evandale jobs through soon, and the fix in each case will likely follow the pattern I see across the suburb: bringing an old board up to individual RCBO protection and clearing whatever fault brought me out in the first place.
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.
Evandale's original post-war switchboards commonly carry no individual circuit protection, and a fault that's been building quietly for years can trip without warning once a few appliances run at once. Ageing hot water and controlled-load circuits are another common failure point.

It's worth having it checked. A lot of Evandale's post-war homes still run on original switchboards with no safety switch protection at all, which is a genuine gap. An inspection will tell you exactly where you stand.
Yes. Many Evandale houses from the 1950s and 60s were built with very few power points by modern standards, and adding GPOs and dedicated circuits is one of the most common jobs I do in the area.
Yes, I supply and install ceiling fans for bedrooms and living areas, including the extra bracing older ceilings sometimes need.
Yes, I carry out electrical safety inspections and written reports against the SA minimum housing standard.
Evandale sits between Payneham Road and Lower Portrush Road in Adelaide's north-east. Here are the nearby areas I also service:
