Tecoma is among the lower-density parts of Yarra Ranges at about 1147 people per square kilometre. More appliances, more circuits, and more that can be tested rather than guessed. Tecoma is around 220 metres above sea level. Surge protection is worth more here than most places, and it is cheaper than a new control board.
Tecoma is about 33 kilometres from the CBD, where kitchens are newer and the failures tend to be electronic rather than mechanical. Tecoma sits inside Yarra Ranges. Council is not part of this job at any point.
We work across Belgrave, Belgrave Heights and Ferny Creek on the same trip, and Tecoma sits in the middle of that loop. In Yarra Ranges, Tecoma occupies about 1.8 square kilometres. The 2021 census counted 2064 residents, and the postcode is 3160.
Day to day we are across Tecoma and the streets either side of it: Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield. Same crew, same rates, same certificate at the end. At roughly 7.1 kilometres south-east of Boronia, Tecoma is inside the area we cover every week rather than on its edge.
