New Home Electrical Wiring: A Smarter Way to Power A Newly Built Home

Build It Right the First Time

Designing a new home is about more than colours and finishes. What really shapes how your home feels and how well it works is what’s behind the walls.

At Direct Point Electrical, we help homeowners across Berwick, Officer, Beaconsfield, Pakenham and Narre Warren design electrical systems that do more than pass inspection.
As new home electricians, we build smart layouts, future-ready circuits and systems that support everything from modern lighting to home theatres and voice controlled automation.

Your Wiring Should Match How You Actually Live

Too often, new homes are built with the bare minimum wiring.
One central light. A couple of power points. Maybe a basic TV setup.

But life today is different. You charge devices in every room. You want mood lighting in the kitchen. You want to control your AC from your phone. You want security cameras, good Wi-Fi and maybe even a projector for movie nights.
We design electrical layouts that match your lifestyle, not just your floor plan.

That means:

  • Circuits designed for your specific appliances and habits
  • Smart switches and dimmers built in
  • Pre-wiring for future tech like EV chargers or solar systems
  • Thoughtful placement of power and lighting—where you’ll actually need them

Home Automation and Smart Wiring

Smart homes are no longer a luxury. They’re fast becoming the new normal.

Even if you’re not installing automation right away, we always recommend pre-wiring for smart home control. That gives you the option to add smart lighting, climate control, voice assistants, or even full home integration later without needing to cut into walls or rewire.

We work with platforms like:

  • Clipsal Wiser
  • Control4
  • Google Home and Alexa
  • Apple HomeKit

And we make sure all wiring is laid in a way that keeps your home flexible for future upgrades. See more about home automation

Home Theatre and Audio Setup

Whether you want a fully wired home theatre room or just great sound in the living area, we can install:

  • Surround sound cabling
  • Hidden power and HDMI routing
  • Wall mounted TV cabling
  • Speaker and subwoofer wiring
  • Streaming device power feeds

We future-proof the space so you can upgrade your equipment without needing an electrician every time you want to add to your set up.

Heating and Cooling, Kitchens and High Load Areas

We plan for high-demand areas like:

We run dedicated circuits where needed, install load balancing, and ensure your switchboard is ready to handle the extra power.

Energy Efficiency from the Ground Up

Power bills aren’t getting cheaper. We plan your home’s electrical setup to reduce usage without compromising comfort. That includes:

  • LED lighting
  • Zoned lighting controls
  • Energy efficient switchboard design
  • Solar readiness and smart metering

What About Safety?

Yes, everything we do meets or exceeds AS/NZS 3000 standards. That means:

  • RCDs on every final subcircuit
  • Enhanced safety measures in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries
  • Proper IP-rated gear for outdoor areas
  • Full certification and testing with a Certificate of Electrical Safety provided

But we go beyond the rules. We build in reliability and resilience, circuits that are properly balanced, fault protection where it matters, and clean, concealed installations that don’t wear out fast.

FAQs

Should I plan for smart home gear now or later?
Plan now, install later. It’s much cheaper to run smart-ready cabling during the build than retrofit it down the track.

How many data points or TV points should I run?
That depends on how you use your space and you should try to think ahead.
Smart TVs, streaming devices, and gaming setups all benefit from wired connections.

Can I add solar or EV charging later?
Yes, and we can make your switchboard and cabling ready now, even if you don’t install panels or chargers right away.

Do I need surge protection?
For homes with smart gear, media setups or high-end appliances, yes. We’ll guide you through your options.

Built to Grow With You

Your home isn’t static and neither is the tech you’ll use in it.
That’s why we design new home electrical systems that are flexible, efficient and built to last.

At Direct Point Electrical, we bring clarity, care and experience to every new build. Whether you’re working with a volume builder or managing your own project, we make sure the wiring works now and works later.
