With around 1147 residents per square kilometre, Tecoma homes have more cable outside than in, and outside is where weather-related faults start. Because Tecoma sits about 220 metres up, tree contact with service lines is worth checking as part of any fault call.
Tecoma is about 33 kilometres from the CBD, where modern RCBO boards mean the board itself tells you which circuit failed. For Tecoma, Yarra Ranges has no role here. The standard is the wiring rules and the relevant Australian Standard, not a planning scheme.
Being next to Belgrave and Belgrave Heights means Tecoma is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. Postcode 3160, about 1.8 square kilometres, 2064 residents at the 2021 census: that is the shape of Tecoma inside Yarra Ranges.
The area we cover around Tecoma runs through Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield, and a booking in any of them is treated the same way. Tecoma sits roughly 7.1 kilometres south-east of Boronia, where we are based. That distance is why a call here is answered from a van that is already in the area rather than from a call centre.
