Vital Ease — home modification and maintenance solutions

Light where you need it,switches you can reach.

Lights that come on by themselves, power points you can reach, and working smoke alarms. Done by licensed electricians across Victoria and New South Wales.

A long hallway to a bathroom with small low-level lights set into the wall along the floor

Many falls happenin the dark.

The walk from bed to the bathroom at night is one of the riskiest trips in any home. You are half asleep, often without your glasses, and the light switch is by the door.

A sensor light comes on by itself when you move, just bright enough to see by, and turns itself off again. It works when you are least alert.

Everything else we do follows the same idea. Switches where your hand is, power points you can reach without kneeling, and alarms that will wake you.

What weinstall.

Small, useful changes, not a rewire. Some mean cutting into walls, and we tell you which before we start.

  • Sensor lights, inside and out

    For hallways, bathrooms, and the path to the front door. The most useful change if you get up at night.

  • Brighter lights and heat lamps

    Our eyes need more light as we age. We swap old fittings for brighter ones, and a heat lamp warms a cold bathroom.

  • Power points you can reach

    Raised, moved, or added, so you don’t kneel on the floor to plug something in. Waterproof ones for wet areas and outside.

  • Stove timers

    Turn the stove off by itself if it is left on.

  • Smoke alarms

    Working alarms in the right places, linked so that when one goes off, they all do.

  • Safety switches

    Many older homes have none. One switch protects everyone in the house from electric shock.

How itworks.

  1. A clear, fixed quote

    Tell us the problem, or send your occupational therapist’s report, and we will price the work.

  2. One visit to fit

    A licensed electrician agrees the heights and places with you, does the work, tests it, and certifies it.

  3. Backed by warranty

    All work is done by licensed tradespeople and backed by the relevant warranties.

Who wehelp.

  • Older people living alone

    Especially if you get up at night, when good lighting matters most.

  • People with limited reach

    When a switch or power point is simply too high or too low.

  • People whose eyesight has changed

    More light, in the right places, makes every room safer.

  • Families and carers

    Often after a fall, or a near miss, in the dark.

Alarms you cansee or feel.

If you are hard of hearing, an ordinary smoke alarm or doorbell may not wake you. Alerting aids flash a light or shake the bed instead.

Questions

What people ask aboutelectrical services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a handyman do this work?
No. In both Victoria and New South Wales, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician and certified. It is the law, and it matters: a bad electrical job can hurt someone long after it is done.
What is the single most useful thing to install?
Sensor lights on the way from your bed to the bathroom. Most people take that walk half asleep. A light that comes on by itself means you never take it in the dark.
Can I arrange this if I rent?
Not on your own. Changes to the wiring are the owner’s decision. Call us and we will explain the work simply, so you can ask your agent. Working smoke alarms and safety switches are usually the owner’s responsibility anyway.
Do you upgrade old switchboards?
Yes. Many older homes still have a switchboard with no safety switch at all. A safety switch cuts the power in a split second if something goes wrong, and it is often the first thing we recommend.
Will the NDIS or my Home Care Package pay for electrical work?
Often. Sensor lights, moved switches and power points, and stove timers are commonly recommended by occupational therapists as minor home modifications. A full switchboard upgrade is sometimes seen as general maintenance instead. We show each item separately on the quote.
