Ringwood sits at about 1877 people per square kilometre, standard detached housing, where a garage or external wall gives a battery the clearance and shade it needs. Sitting at about 123 metres, Ringwood has the kind of blocks where an outdoor battery needs shade from western sun.
At about 25 kilometres from the CBD, Ringwood is outer-ring, where export limits often make storing the surplus better value than sending it out. In Maroondah, which includes Ringwood, we lodge the connection paperwork rather than leaving it with you.
Work in Ringwood slots in beside whatever we have on in Croydon, Donvale or Heathmont that day. By the numbers: 19144 people, roughly 10.2 square kilometres, postcode 3134, inside Maroondah. That is Ringwood as of the 2021 census.
Worth knowing before we quote: In 2009, the State Government controversially approved the building of a nine-storey housing development near Ringwood Lake, without Council or public consultation. Garage construction follows the era, and that decides the battery position. Ringwood sits inside a block we cover properly rather than occasionally. The neighbouring suburbs on that run are Croydon, Donvale, Heathmont and Mitcham.
The run from Boronia to Ringwood is about 7.4 kilometres north-west. That is a normal day for us, not a special trip. Ringwood has Ringwood railway station, which is a useful marker: closer to it usually means older wiring.
