Your local electrician — based here in Colonel Light Gardens

Colonel Light Gardens is one of Adelaide's most historically significant suburbs — a planned garden community laid out in the early 1920s, with homes built predominantly in the bungalow and Arts & Crafts styles that remain largely intact today. Many properties carry local or state heritage significance, and the suburb's streets are lined with mature trees and original streetscapes that make it one of Adelaide's most liveable pockets.

STRZELEC Pty Ltd is based in Colonel Light Gardens at postcode 5041. Founder Antoni Strzelecki (SA Licence PGE256880) brings 15+ years of electrical experience and a genuine understanding of the suburb's housing stock — the original wiring systems found in 1920s homes, the care needed to work within heritage fabric, and the modernisations that today's homeowners want without compromising period character.

We issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety for all notifiable work, carry $20M public liability insurance, and operate at a transparent rate of $140 per hour with free written quotes before any work begins.

Electrical work that respects period character

Colonel Light Gardens was gazetted as a Historic (Conservation) Zone in 2010, recognising its status as one of Australia's best-preserved examples of early twentieth-century town planning. For homeowners, this means electrical upgrades require care — not just for compliance, but for preserving what makes the suburb distinctive.

We have rewired and upgraded numerous homes in the suburb, running new circuits through wall cavities without damaging original plasterwork, replacing unsafe early wiring while preserving original switch and socket positions, and designing lighting that complements rather than overwhelms original joinery and proportions.

A recent Colonel Light Gardens job involved replacing a 1960s ceramic fuse board with a modern RCD-protected switchboard, adding new circuits for a kitchen renovation, and installing dimmable downlights and a period-style pendant in the dining room — all certified and completed within a day.

Questions about electrical work in Colonel Light Gardens

Common questions from Colonel Light Gardens homeowners. Call us on 0447 383 308 or email info@strzelec.au if yours isn't answered here.

Yes. Colonel Light Gardens is a nationally significant planned garden suburb with many homes built in the 1920s and 1930s in the Arts and Crafts and bungalow styles. We regularly work on these properties — concealing new wiring within original fabric wherever possible, upgrading deteriorated early wiring, and replacing obsolete ceramic fuse boards with modern switchboards. All work is carried out with care for heritage significance and is certified with a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Colonel Light Gardens is our home base — we are located in the suburb at postcode 5041. For urgent electrical faults such as tripped safety switches, partial power loss, or sparking outlets, we can typically attend faster than any other contractor in the area. Call Antoni directly on 0447 383 308 to discuss your situation.
Absolutely. Verandah and outdoor lighting is one of our most common jobs in Colonel Light Gardens. We design and install period-sympathetic lighting that complements the bungalow aesthetic — wall lanterns, soffit downlights, festoon lighting, and garden uplighting. All outdoor wiring is fully weatherproof and AS/NZS 3000 compliant. We can also integrate outdoor lighting with a smart home system or timer control.
We work at a transparent rate of $140 per hour and provide free written quotes before any work begins. A typical switchboard upgrade — replacing a ceramic fuse board with a modern circuit breaker panel, safety switches on all circuits, and a full circuit directory — generally takes half a day to a full day depending on the number of circuits and the condition of existing wiring.
