I'm Marcus, the owner-operator behind Amped Up Electrical Adelaide. Modbury Heights sits at the top of the north-east, in the City of Tea Tree Gully — a decent run up North East Road from Vale Park, but Modbury Heights has quietly become one of my busiest suburbs.
It's a classic 1970s-80s family suburb — solid brick homes, double garages, and plenty of backyard sheds and workshops on generous blocks near The Heights School, with Westfield Tea Tree Plaza and the O-Bahn's Tea Tree Plaza Interchange just down the hill in Modbury. That era of housing is exactly why electrical work is in demand here: original switchboards are now 40-50 years old, smoke alarms are reaching expiry, and garages wired for a single fluoro tube are being asked to run workshops, freezers and gym setups. It's the same story across the suburb — a house built for a much smaller electrical load than it's carrying now.
Because I run the business myself, the person who quotes your Modbury Heights job is the same person who turns up and does it — no call centre. Licensed electrician on every job, never handed off. Whether it's fault finding, a three-phase switchboard rebuild or garage LED lighting, you deal with me start to finish. Call 0468 008 822 and let's sort it out.
Given the 1970s-80s housing stock and the workshops and sheds on these blocks, this is the work that comes up most:
In April 2026 I carried out a full three-phase switchboard upgrade on Spode Court — a revisit after an initial fault-finding job found the old rewireable switchgear was well past its use-by date. The old board came out entirely, replaced with a new 18-way enclosure, a 100A three-phase main switch and individual RCBOs across the whole circuit list — including dedicated protection for the hot water unit and the extras added along the way. Everything was tested, labelled, commissioned, and a Certificate of Compliance issued for the property, plus two smoke alarms replaced while the board was open.
The same week, a neighbouring property on the same street had its two smoke alarms replaced, four old fluorescent battens in the garage swapped for sensor-activated LED battens, and the wiring tidied up with an extra power point added in the garage. It's a good snapshot of Modbury Heights work generally — an old board or old garage lighting finally reaching the point where it needs doing properly, and it happening street by street as neighbours compare notes.
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.
Modbury Heights' 1970s-80s switchboards are now 40-50 years old, and a rewireable board that's finally failing can take out power to half the house 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.

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, it's me doing the work.
