Meet your electrician
I started NextPoint to give Belmont homeowners a reliable local electrician who communicates clearly, turns up when promised and stands behind the work.
You will always know what is happening, what it will cost and what to expect next.
Registered electrical contractor REC 346464 · Family owned · Local to the Bellarine
Across Geelong, no distance loading
No call out fee, a fixed price agreed before anything starts, and a lifetime workmanship warranty. REC 346464.
Belmont sits just south of the Barwon River, a few kilometres from central Geelong, bounded by the river to the north and Waurn Ponds Creek to the south. It is a short run for us from Ocean Grove and carries no distance loading.
We cover the whole of 3216, and Highton, Grovedale, Newtown and the rest of Geelong with it.
What can we help with?
From a post-war house on its original board to a new pair of units out the back. Here is what we do most in Belmont.
Why Belmont locals choose us
Most of Belmont went up between the late 1940s and the 1980s. A board from that era was never asked to carry a split system, an induction cooktop and a car charger at once, and that is usually the real question rather than whether the wiring is sound.

Got questions? We have answers
Yes. It is a short run for us from Ocean Grove and carries no distance loading. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
All of it, the whole 3216 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. From the older township end through the post-war streets and out toward Grovedale, with nothing in it far enough out to charge extra for.
It is a short run for us from Ocean Grove and carries no distance loading. We do not promise a set response time, but you get a straight answer on the phone and a time on the day rather than an all day window.
It does, and Belmont is unusually consistent about it. The suburb had barely three thousand people in 1947 and around fifteen thousand today, so most of the housing went up in the post-war decades and the 1970s and 80s. That is old enough that the original board and the original circuits were sized for a very different household, and not so old that anyone assumes there is a problem. The gap between what a 1960s house was wired for and what runs in it now is where most of the work is.

Belmont was settled early, with a pastoral run established south of the Barwon in 1836 and the settlement proclaimed in 1861, but almost nothing of today's suburb dates from then. The population was about 1,250 in 1921 and around 3,000 in 1947.
The suburb as it stands is a post-war creation. Houses went up through the late 1940s, 50s and 60s, a good number of them built for textile workers and labourers, and the suburb spread west toward Highton and then south toward Grovedale in a 1970s subdivision phase. CSIRO opened a laboratory here in 1948 and ran a textiles research centre until 2010.
By the 2021 census the population was over fifteen thousand. What is notable in the numbers is the infill: close to one dwelling in five is a townhouse, terrace or semi-detached, the highest share of any Geelong suburb we cover. Original allotments have been subdivided steadily, so a street can hold a 1960s house and a pair of recent units on what was one block.
That combination is the practical story here. A large body of housing from one broad era, much of it still on its original board, sitting alongside new building that was wired to a modern standard from the start.
The practical version for a Belmont owner: if the house is post-war and the board has not been touched, that is where to start. Everything else you might want to add depends on what it will carry.
If you are subdividing or putting a unit at the back, the supply to the existing house is worth checking before the plans are final rather than after.
