Service Overview

Expanding your property's electrical capacity beyond the main house requires specialized planning and heavy-duty cabling. Detached garages, backyard sheds, and workshops need dedicated sub-distribution boards to run power tools, lights, and heating safely. Outdoor environments also demand specialized weatherproof components, deep trenching for underground power lines, and specific safety-switch setups to prevent earth faults in damp conditions. Jeanes Power & Electrical delivers safe, compliant outdoor electrical installations for homes, rural properties, and small commercial sites throughout Carrum Downs, Frankston, and the Mornington Peninsula. I handle complete shed and workshop fitouts, trenching and running underground sub-mains, wiring garden lighting and sensor floodlights, spa/pool electrical hookups, and electric gate power supplies. All outdoor circuits are isolated and protected by high-sensitivity RCDs for ultimate safety.

I dig trenches to Australian Standards depth (minimum 500mm), lay heavy-duty orange conduit, and backfill.

I wire the GPOs, LED high-bays, outdoor garden lights, spa switches, or gate motors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000), underground electrical cabling must be buried at a minimum depth of 500mm inside heavy-duty orange electrical conduit, with marker tape laid above it to prevent future damage.

Yes, overhead aerial lines can be used if trenching is impossible. They require heavy-duty catenary wire and specific height clearances (minimum 3.5m over paths, 4.9m over driveways) to prevent vehicle contact.

Spas usually draw significant power (typically 15 Amps to 32 Amps or more) and require a dedicated circuit run from the main switchboard, protected by an RCD and a local IP66-rated rotary isolation switch.

I will assess your main switchboard capacity. If the main board is overloaded, a mains capacity upgrade or switchboard upgrade may be required before running sub-mains to a shed.
