Dream Palm Springs Transformation

This whole-home renovation worked to a Palm Springs-inspired design. Millar Electrics worked alongside the builder from the framing stage through to final fit-off, with cabling and fittings concealed throughout.

Scope of work

The project involved a full rough-in across the redesigned floor plan, including relocated switchboard, new final subcircuits for all living zones, and dedicated circuits for the kitchen's high-draw appliances. The outdoor entertaining area, the centrepiece of this renovation, required extensive weatherproof cabling for pool equipment, feature lighting, and an outdoor kitchen.

Lighting design

We installed a mix of recessed LED downlights on fully dimmable circuits, architectural wall-wash fittings, and statement pendant wiring throughout the open-plan living and dining areas. Landscape lighting along the pool perimeter was wired on a separate low-voltage circuit with timer control. Every switch plate was coordinated with the interior designer so it matched the home's colour palette.

Smart home pre-wiring

The owners requested future-proofing for home automation. We pre-wired for smart lighting control in all key zones, including conduit runs for a central hub location, and installed CAT6 data points throughout for wired networking alongside the Wi-Fi infrastructure.

Certification

All electrical work was inspected and a Certificate of Electrical Safety issued and lodged with Energy Safe Victoria on completion. The project was delivered on time and within the agreed budget, with zero defects at the builder's practical completion inspection.
