Terraces are not detached houses
A third of the dwellings here share a wall with the one next door. That changes where cable can go and how a job is staged, and it is the sort of thing worth knowing before the quote rather than on the day.

Published on our Google Business Profile, word for word.
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
Fantastic service from start to finish! Luke was on time, professional, and explained everything clearly. The work was done efficiently and to a high standard, with great attention to detail. Friendly, reliable, and reasonably priced. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing electrical work.
Fantastic Service from Luke at NextPoint Electrics! We recently had Luke from NextPoint Electrics install five ceiling fans in our home, and we couldn't be happier with the results! From the moment he arrived, Luke was professional, friendly, and clearly very knowledgeable. He took the time to ensure each fan was perfectly positioned and securely installed, with all wiring neat and tidy. The quality of his work was outstanding, everything runs smoothly and quietly, and the rooms feel so much more comfortable now. He also cleaned up after himself and made sure we were completely satisfied with the job before leaving. If you're looking for a reliable and skilled electrician, we highly recommend Luke. A fabulous job from start to finish! Kellie and Drew

Electrician South Geelong FAQ
Do you actually cover South Geelong?
Yes. It is a short run in for us from Ocean Grove, and it carries no distance loading. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
Which parts of South Geelong do you cover?
All of it, the whole 3220 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. Across the cottages and the terraces alike, and none of it far enough out to be worth charging you extra for.
How quickly can you get to South Geelong?
It is a short run in for us from Ocean Grove, and it 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.
Is there anything particular about the housing here?
There is, and it separates South Geelong from almost everywhere else we work. Close to a third of dwellings here are terraces, townhouses or semi-detached, which is the highest share of any suburb we cover, and the houses are small: under three bedrooms on average. Attached housing changes the job. Walls are shared, roof space is sometimes shared, and a run that would be simple in a freestanding house has to go somewhere else. It is worth us seeing it before pricing rather than after.

About South Geelong
South Geelong is among the oldest parts of the city. David Fisher built what has been described as the first house in Geelong worthy of the name here around 1836. Before the railway went through in 1876 the suburb reached further north, up to about Kilgour Street, and a Wesleyan school opened in 1854 with the state primary following in 1879.
The housing runs from the 1850s through to the 1920s: Victorian, Edwardian and interwar, with the City South Residential Heritage Area covering a great deal of it. Around 193 further properties have been recommended for inclusion by extending that overlay.
Wool made it. There were wool scours along Gravel Pits Road discharging into the Barwon, Godfrey Hirst opened a mill at Swanston Street in 1899, and the Valley Worsted Mills ran from 1924 to 1973. The Victorian Woollen and Cloth Company mills on Swanston Street date from around 1865 and are among the earliest woollen mills in the state. Godfrey Hirst still operates on Barwon Terrace.
The dwelling mix is what makes it different to work in. At the 2021 census about 68 per cent of occupied dwellings were freestanding houses and just over 30 per cent were terraces, townhouses or semi-detached, with no apartments recorded at all. The average dwelling had 2.9 bedrooms. Small, old, attached and close to the centre.
The practical version for a South Geelong owner: in an attached house, say so when you ring. Where the meter is and whether a wall is shared decides a surprising amount about the job.
If the property is in the heritage area, raise it early. It rarely stops a job but it changes the order things happen in.
