Two different jobs in one small place
An 1840s village and an estate barely ten years old sit within walking distance of each other here. We work out which one we are in before pricing anything.

Luke was fast and efficient updating my switchboard. Professional from the start and great to work with.
Luke has been true to his word and attends to our work orders when he says he will. The feedback from our tenants has been exceptional and pricing is a bonus for our property investors. Highly recommend
I had an absolute 5 star experience with Luke from NextPoint Electrics. After trying for many years to get my House Switchboard replaced and upgraded, when most other electricians either wouldn't do the work or quoted silly money because it was so involved... Finally I found an experienced and professional Sparky. Reasonably priced, excellent workmanship. I cannot recommend him more highly enough. One very happy customer!
Luke did multiple jobs in my house. Fixed electrical points, fixed my smoke alarm, mounted and installed TVs. He was friendly, punctual and well priced. Would definitely use Luke again for future jobs in my home.
Luke was great with communication and always keeps us informed about timing & punctual. He has a lot of experience and I would highly recommend him. So happy with his work & everything. Love all the work that was done inside & outside our house. Keep up the great work.
Had luke from next point out to fit some ceiling fans, install some downright in darker areas of my house and he also added a couple of sensor lights on the outside. Luke was very professional from his quote to when he said he could do the work. Turned up on time and well presented. Run me through what was needed and prices and was very professional about it all. Would defintely use again and highly recommend
Meet your electrician
I started NextPoint to give Fyansford homeowners a reliable local electrician who communicates clearly, turns up when promised and stands behind the work.

Yes. We come up and across from Ocean Grove, and there is no travel time on the bill for it. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
All of it, the whole 3218 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. The old village along Hyland Street and the new estate on the cement works land alike, none of it far enough out to charge extra for.
We come up and across from Ocean Grove, and there is no travel time on the bill for it. 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.
Yes, because there are two Fyansfords and they have nothing electrically in common. The old village is nineteenth century, with buildings going back to the 1840s and fifteen heritage overlay entries in a very small area. The new part is Gen Fyansford, an estate on the old cement works land where nothing predates about 2015. In the village the question is what a century and a half of alterations left behind. In the estate it is what the board has left on it. Same postcode, entirely different conversations.

Fyansford is one of the oldest settled places around Geelong. It takes its name from Captain Foster Fyans, police magistrate from 1837, who set up a camp at the ford where the Barwon and Moorabool rivers meet. There was an inn by 1843, a flour mill in 1844, hotels and a timber bridge by 1854, an orphan asylum in 1861 and a state school from 1877. The timber bridge was replaced in 1900 by a concrete arch designed by Monash and Anderson.
Industry defined it for a century. Cement production started around 1890 after limestone was found at Batesford and shale at Fyansford, a rotary kiln went in by 1911, and the works were making around 900,000 tonnes a year by the 1960s. There was a paper mill at Buckley Falls from 1876 as well. The cement works closed in 2001 and were demolished the same year, apart from some silos on the hill.
For most of its history it stayed tiny. The population was 227 in 1861, 189 in 1933, and still only 196 at the 2016 census.
Then the estate arrived. Gen Fyansford, approved by council in September 2014, is being built across 115 hectares of the former cement works and quarry land with more than a thousand lots at completion. By the 2021 census the population had reached 1,206, roughly six times what it had been five years before. Over eighty per cent of dwellings were freestanding houses and more than half of households were paying a mortgage, which is what a new estate looks like in the numbers.
The practical version for a Fyansford owner: which half of the suburb you are in decides almost everything about the job, so tell us the age of the house when you ring rather than the street.
If you are in one of the heritage overlay properties, raise it early. It rarely stops a job but it changes the order things happen in.
