I'm Marcus, the owner-operator behind Amped Up Electrical Adelaide, working the garden-suburb streets near Victoria Park.
Toorak Gardens is on the far side of the city from my Vale Park base — it's a proper drive, not the couple of minutes I'd give a suburb like Prospect, but it's a straightforward one and I cover it regularly.
The suburb is a classic 1920s and '30s garden suburb: Tudor-revival and bungalow homes on generous blocks, laid out with wide verges and established street trees near Victoria Park. Houses of that vintage usually still have their original switchboard behind the character features, often a ceramic fuse board with no individual circuit protection, and the double garages and larger driveways that come with the block size make this a common spot for EV charger requests.
Whatever your Toorak Gardens home needs, I quote it properly up front and I'm the one who turns up and does the work — no rotating tradies, no surprises on the invoice.
Given the era and size of the housing stock, this is the work I see most:
In March, I installed a 22kW three-phase EV charger for an MG in Toorak Gardens, complete with a local isolator mounted alongside the unit. A charger at that output needs a genuine three-phase supply and a proper load calculation against everything else already running through the switchboard, so before running the dedicated circuit I checked the board's existing capacity and sized the protection to suit. The isolator gives a clear, compliant means of cutting power for servicing or in an emergency, and the whole circuit was tested and signed off before the charger went live. It's exactly the kind of install that suits Toorak Gardens' double garages and off-street parking — proper capacity from day one rather than a charger bolted on and hoped for the best.
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 Toorak Gardens, it's me doing the work.

Toorak Gardens' 1920s and '30s homes often still run their original switchboard, with no safety switch fitted and wiring that's had decades of appliances added on top of it. 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.

No. I mount the new board discreetly, usually in the same location as the original, and run any new cable carefully so the character features of the home are left exactly as they were. The upgrade is about what's inside the board, not the look of the house.
Yes. I check the switchboard's existing capacity against a proper load calculation before running the dedicated circuit, size the protection to suit, and fit an accessible isolator alongside the charger.
Yes. Smoke alarm checks, safety switch testing and a written report for landlords and agents with property in Toorak Gardens and the surrounding suburbs.
Yes. It's a proper drive across the city from my Vale Park base, but I work Toorak Gardens and the surrounding garden suburbs regularly.
