STRZELEC Pty Ltd is a licensed Adelaide electrical contractor based in Colonel Light Gardens, approximately 15 minutes from Blackwood. We handle deck and outdoor lighting, switchboard upgrades, home automation, and residential electrical work for Blackwood homeowners and Hills properties.
Blackwood sits at the foot of the Adelaide Hills — a suburb of native gardens, elevated blocks, and homes that range from mid-century bungalows through to more recent builds. It's a suburb with character, and the electrical work that comes with it reflects that variety. Older homes often have wiring that was installed before modern safety requirements, while newer properties and renovations demand circuits suited to today's technology.

Blackwood is a suburb where the outdoor living areas are as important as the interior. The split-level decks, native garden paths, and elevated entertaining platforms that characterise Hills properties all benefit from careful, weatherproof electrical installations. We regularly design and install deck lighting schemes — downlights recessed into soffits, uplights set into garden beds, step lights on timber stairs — that make outdoor spaces genuinely usable at night.
The older homes in Blackwood often come with electrical systems that haven't kept pace with how the property is now being used. We frequently encounter original ceramic fuse boards, unprotected circuits, and wiring that was installed before RCDs were required. A switchboard upgrade is often the most important electrical investment a Blackwood homeowner can make — it brings the home up to current safety standards and makes it ready for EV charging, solar inverters, and modern appliance loads.
We recently completed a full outdoor electrical upgrade at a Blackwood property: new weatherproof downlights along a deck soffit, step lights on three levels of garden stairs, and two outdoor power points — all run from a freshly upgraded switchboard. The result was a property that's safe, modern, and genuinely enjoyable after dark.
