Leslie Electrical Services is an industrial electrical contractor based in Mount Dandenong, supporting factories, processing plants, and manufacturing facilities across Lilydale and Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Unlike residential or commercial electrical contractors, our team focuses on electrical maintenance, automation, machinery safety, and 24/7 breakdown response for production environments.
Lilydale and the wider Yarra Valley host food processing, packaging, cold storage, and light manufacturing operations that rely on robust electrical solutions. These facilities need electrical contractors who can coordinate with engineers, safety teams, and operations managers rather than simply install a power point and leave.
Planned maintenance and shutdowns
Routine electrical maintenance prevents unplanned stoppages that can cost Australian SMBs between AU$137 and AU$427 per minute. Our maintenance includes thermal imaging, RCD testing, switchboard cleaning, and cable verification to reduce breakdown incidents by 50 to 70 percent.
Project installations and upgrades
We handle new line installations, equipment relocations, plant expansions, cable containment, and machine feeds across Lilydale facilities. Our team works from client drawings, provides staged commissioning and FAT/SAT support, and delivers a Certificate of Electrical Safety upon completion.
Switchboard and control panel design
We design, assemble, and install industrial switchboards and custom control panels compliant with AS/NZS 61439 and AS/NZS 3000 standards. Typical work includes main switchboard upgrades, motor control centres, VSD panels, and control cabinets for process equipment.
PLC automation support
Over 80 percent of industrial automation systems use PLCs. Our PLC automation support covers programming changes, fault finding, I/O checks, and integration on existing production lines, with full documentation and handover to your engineering team.
