Published on our Google Business Profile, word for word.
Luke did a great job and was very flexible and understanding of our needs. He listened and was very helpful in explaining answers to our questions. I would highly recommend his work.
Luke was on time, considerate upon entering the house, and has a pleasant, friendly manner. He also gave excellent advice and suggestions/options for solving the problem, without "pushing" for one or the other. NEXTPOINT Electrics is to be highly recommended.
Luke at NextPoint was fantastic. Arrived on time both times he's done work, texted first to say he was on his way. Very quick, efficient and tidy with both jobs and a great guy to deal with. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again.
Luke was super efficient and communication on point. Came around the next day to quote for all ceiling fans replaced and was all done in less than a week. Highly recommend Luke and Nextpoint Electrics!
Absolutely terrific to work with. Luke’s professional manner coupled with friendliness, all the while keeping us updated on progress. Have no hesitation in recommending Luke.
Really impressed with Nextpoint Electrics! Friendly, professional, and got the job done promptly. Highly recommend for anyone needing an electrician you can trust.
Across Geelong, no distance loading
Highton sits on the south-west side of the Barwon River about 4 km from central Geelong, on the rolling ground of the Barrabool Hills with views over the river valley and out to Corio Bay. We come across from Ocean Grove, and it is close enough that there is no travel time on the bill.
We cover the whole of 3216, and Belmont, Newtown, Wandana Heights and the rest of Geelong with it.
No call out fee, a fixed price agreed before anything starts, and a lifetime workmanship warranty. REC 346464.
What can we help with?
From a mid-century house that has never been touched to a board sized for a recent build. Here is what we do most in Highton.
Why Highton locals choose us
Highton has been built continuously since the mid-1950s, so the house next door can be thirty years older or younger than yours. We work out what we are dealing with on your place rather than assuming the street.

On every job, no exceptions

Got questions? We have answers
Yes. We come across from Ocean Grove, and it is close enough that there is no travel time on the bill. 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 streets around Highton Village out to the newer building north of Barrabool Road, and none of it far enough out to charge extra for.
We come across from Ocean Grove, and it is close enough that there is no travel time on the bill. 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 changes the practical side more than the electrical side. Highton runs over the Barrabool Hills, so blocks are often stepped, driveways climb, and the distance from the street to the back of the property can be a good deal longer than the frontage suggests. That matters for cable runs to a shed, a pool or a studio, and for how long it takes to get gear to where it is going. None of it is difficult, it just wants knowing before the quote rather than after.

Highton takes its name from John Highett, who built a house on a hill above the Barwon River in the 1830s, and Highett-town shortened over time. It stayed small for a long while: a few hundred people through the nineteenth century and only around 750 by 1947, a number that included the residents of an orphanage.
What it is now was built from the mid-1950s onward. Schools arrived through the 1960s, the shopping centre in the mid-1960s, housing reached the Glastonbury Drive area in the 1990s, and building has continued north of Barrabool Road and west of Scenic Road in recent years. By the 2021 census the population was over twenty thousand, the largest of the Geelong suburbs we cover.
That spread matters electrically. Seven decades of construction sit side by side, so there is no single answer to what is in the walls. A mid-century house, a 1980s brick house and a recent build are three different conversations, and Highton has all three within a few streets of each other.
The other distinctive thing is what is not here. At the 2021 census close to nine in ten dwellings were freestanding houses and essentially none were flats or apartments, with the balance townhouses and units built more recently. This is a suburb of houses on their own land, on hilly ground.
The practical version for a Highton owner: work out which era your house belongs to before you plan anything substantial, because a mid-1950s house and a 2015 house have almost nothing in common at the board.
If you are running power down to a shed, studio or pool on a sloping block, the length of the run is worth measuring properly. On a hill it is usually longer than it looks.
