About AVL Electrical
Electricians You Can Trust — In Your Home and Business.
AVL Electrical Services is a locally owned and operated electrical contracting business based in Ballajura, serving homes and businesses across Perth's northern and eastern suburbs. We specialise in residential and commercial electrical work, smoke alarm compliance, and solar fault-finding — with a straightforward commitment to safety, honesty, and doing the job properly, every time.
Meet Your Electrician
From Kalgoorlie roots to your local electrician.
Lyell was born and raised in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, and completed his electrical apprenticeship in the mining industry — a background that teaches you to work safely, solve problems on the spot, and get things right the first time, because there's rarely a second chance underground. From there he moved into hospital, commercial and residential electrical work, building a genuinely broad skill set most electricians don't get exposed to this early.
In 2011, Lyell established AVL Electrical Services — wanting to build something of his own, with his name on the van and his reputation on every job. Being licensed since 2009 and running his own business since 2011 means every job you get is backed by real, hands-on experience, not passed down a chain of subcontractors.
Today, that means when you call AVL, you're talking directly to the person who'll turn up, do the work, and stand behind it. No call centre, no guesswork about who's coming — just a licensed local electrician who treats your home or business like it matters, because it does.

Our Approach
How we do the job — every time.
Experience matters, but it's not the whole story. It's the way a job actually gets done that customers remember — so here's what you can expect from AVL on every visit, big or small.
- Clear communication, no jargonYou'll always know what's wrong, what we're doing about it, and what it costs — explained plainly, not talked around.
- Honest advice over the hard sellIf it doesn't need replacing, we'll tell you. We're not paid on how much we can add to the invoice.
- Quality workmanship, no shortcutsEvery job is completed to Australian Standards, using quality parts — not the cheapest option available.
- Respect for your propertyOn time, tidy, and left exactly as we found it — or better. Your home or business isn't a worksite to us, it's someone's daily life.
