Consumer mains upgrades replace the cable between the point of attachment and your switchboard when it's undersized, damaged or too old for the load.

We assess the existing mains, point of attachment, meter position, switchboard, maximum demand and practical cable route before setting the scope. The quote covers the agreed supply upgrade, distributor coordination, installation, testing and certification. For single-phase and three-phase capacity, overhead and underground supplies, and upgrade requirements, see the full detail on mains upgrades.
At around 3787 people per square kilometre, Camberwell homes often sit on subdivided blocks where the original mains were sized for one dwelling and now feed two. Camberwell sits low at about 57 metres, where supply is usually underground and the consumer mains run from a pit at the boundary.
At about 10 kilometres from the CBD, Camberwell has properties where three-phase is available in the street but was never brought in. Boroondara covers Camberwell, though on a mains upgrade the council is only relevant if trenching crosses a nature strip.
Being next to Burwood and Canterbury means Camberwell is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. For scale, the 2021 census counted 21965 people in Camberwell, across about 5.8 square kilometres of Boroondara, postcode 3124.
Some background on the place: === 21st century === ==== Camberwell Station redevelopment ==== Opposition similar to that facing the Podgor redevelopment was mounted regarding plans dating from 1999 to develop Camberwell railway station to incorporate retail and office development. Build era is the strongest predictor of consumer mains size. Coverage around Camberwell extends through Burwood, Canterbury, Glen Iris and Hawthorn East without any change in how a job is quoted.
It is around 19.1 kilometres west from our Boronia base to Camberwell. Short runs like that are how we keep a fixed price honest instead of building travel into it. It is also worth knowing that The Kasouka Estate was created in 1891 and included Kasouka Road, Trafalgar, Prospect Hill and Riversdale Roads.

Luke and his team installed our solar panels over the space of 2 days. Great service arrived on time and communicated well, took away all rubbish made sure the place was left tidy and walked me through the app and next steps. Would highly reccomend!

No. The run from Boronia to Camberwell is about 19.1 kilometres west, which is well inside our regular patch, so there is nothing added for travel.
Yes. The suburbs immediately around Camberwell are Burwood, Canterbury, Glen Iris and Hawthorn East, and all of them are on the same run at the same rates.
Boroondara covers Camberwell, postcode 3124. The paperwork that matters is the electrical safety certificate, not a council form.
Only if the load genuinely calls for it, big ducted systems, fast EV charging, a large battery inverter or a workshop. Plenty of electrified homes run comfortably on an upgraded single-phase supply.
Tell us what capacity you need and what is installed now. We’ll assess the mains, supply arrangement and cable route, then provide a clear upgrade scope. Book an assessment or call our Boronia crew to discuss the work.
