Locally Based, Servicing Scarborough - ✔️ 18+ Years’ Experience
Scarborough is one of Perth’s most iconic beachside suburbs, and its housing mix is just as varied — original 1950s and 60s brick-and-tile homes, renovated character properties, and a growing number of new apartments and townhouses near the Esplanade and beach precinct. ORA Electrical Co services homes and businesses right across Scarborough, from safety switch upgrades in older houses to full electrical fit-outs for new builds and split system installs that keep you comfortable through the coastal summer heat.
OUR ELECTRICAL SERVICES IN SCARBOROUGH
Residential Electrical Services
Whether you’re in an original Scarborough beach cottage or a newly built home near the foreshore, we handle all residential electrical work — power points, lighting, ceiling fans, smoke alarms, and full or partial rewiring. Coastal air can be tough on older wiring and fittings, so we pay close attention to corrosion-prone areas and make sure everything is up to current standard.
Split System Air Conditioning Installation
Scarborough’s sea breeze helps on some days, but summer still gets hot — and salt air means air conditioning units need to be installed and maintained properly to avoid premature wear. We install, service, and repair split system air conditioners for houses, units, and apartments throughout Scarborough, choosing the right unit and position for coastal conditions.
EV Charger Installation
More Scarborough homeowners and apartment residents are going electric. We install home EV charging stations for houses and units across the suburb, checking your switchboard’s capacity and, where needed, upgrading it to safely support fast home charging.
Switchboard Upgrades
Scarborough has a large number of original 1950s–60s homes, many of which still run on outdated switchboards with ceramic fuses and no safety switch (RCD) protection. We upgrade switchboards to modern standards, protecting your home against electric shock and fire risk — an especially important job if you’re renovating, adding air conditioning, or installing an EV charger.
Commercial Electrical Services
Scarborough’s beachfront strip is home to cafes, restaurants, retail stores, and short-stay accommodation. We provide commercial electrical services for local businesses, including fit-outs, lighting upgrades, switchboard work, and compliance testing — scheduled around your trading hours to avoid disrupting customers.

ABOUT SCARBOROUGH
Scarborough is one of Perth’s best-known coastal suburbs, famous for Scarborough Beach, the redeveloped Esplanade, the beachfront pool, and the open-air amphitheatre. The suburb’s housing stock reflects its long history — plenty of original brick-and-tile homes from the 1950s and 60s sit alongside renovated properties, and new apartment and townhouse developments that have sprung up as part of the area’s ongoing foreshore regeneration.
That mix means the electrical work we do in Scarborough varies widely: older homes often need switchboard upgrades, safety switch installations, or partial rewiring to bring them up to current standards, while newer apartments and builds tend to need EV charger installs, split system air conditioning, and smart home wiring. We also regularly service the neighbouring suburbs of
Doubleview, Innaloo, Karrinyup, and North Beach.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — ELECTRICIAN SCARBOROUGH
Do you charge extra for jobs closer to the beach in Scarborough?
No. We charge the same transparent rates across Scarborough and surrounding suburbs — no postcode premiums or hidden call-out fees.
My Scarborough home is from the 1960s — will it need a switchboard upgrade?
Possibly. Many original Scarborough homes still have ceramic fuse switchboards without safety switches, which don’t meet current safety standards. We can assess your switchboard and give you honest advice on whether an upgrade is needed.
Can you install a split system in a Scarborough apartment or unit?
Yes. We install split systems in houses, units, and apartments throughout Scarborough, and can advise on strata or body corporate considerations where relevant.
Do you provide emergency electrical services in Scarborough?
Yes. We offer 24/7 emergency electrical callouts across the Scarborough area for issues like power outages, tripped safety switches, or burning smells.
Is my home’s wiring likely to be affected by the coastal environment?
Coastal air can accelerate corrosion in older wiring, switchboards, and outdoor fittings. As part of any job, we check for signs of corrosion-related wear and recommend upgrades where it’s a safety concern.
Do you handle electrical work for cafes and shops along the Esplanade?
Yes. We provide commercial electrical services for businesses throughout the Scarborough beachfront precinct, including fit-outs, lighting, and compliance testing, scheduled to suit your trading hours.
