Templestowe sits roughly sixteen kilometres north-east of the city, bounded by the Yarra and taking in Lower Templestowe and the area around Ruffey Lake Park. Blocks here are large, the housing is mostly family homes built from the 1970s onward, and rebuilds and extensions are common, which makes cable distance and switchboard capacity the two recurring issues.
Local knowledge · Templestowe
Big blocks mean long runs. Power to a rear shed, lighting down a driveway, a pool or spa pump, irrigation controllers and garden lighting all sit a long way from the switchboard, so cable size has to account for voltage drop rather than just current. Undersized runs installed years ago are a frequent find.
The houses themselves usually have decent wiring for their age, but boards from the original build are running well past what they were planned for once ducted systems, workshops, studios and outdoor kitchens are added.
Rebuilt and heavily extended homes on these sites have the space for solar, batteries and charging, but the main switchboard and submains need to be checked before any of it is committed to, particularly where a garage or studio has its own subboard.
Switchboard upgrades here are about headroom as much as safety. RCD protection on every circuit is the baseline; beyond that we size the board and check the supply so solar, a battery or a charger can be added later without starting again, and we label every circuit so nobody has to guess which breaker controls the shed.
Outdoor lighting and power is the other speciality on blocks this size. Weatherproof fittings and enclosures, correctly rated underground cable in conduit, RCD-protected circuits for anything outside, and lighting laid out to actually make paths, steps and entertaining areas usable after dark.
We also handle the practical everyday jobs: shed and garage circuits, pool and pump wiring, dedicated circuits for cooling and cooking appliances, and fault finding when something in an outdoor circuit starts tripping after rain. Every price is agreed in writing before work starts and the finished job is certified.
