Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Stephen S · Switchboard

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!

Christie V · Solar install

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

LOCAL CONDITIONS

Mains upgrades in Ferntree Gully, in practice

Postcode 3156 takes in Ferntree Gully, Lysterfield, Lysterfield South, Mountain Gate and Upper Ferntree Gully, and since 2001 it has had 1307 air source heat pumps installed. Each of those, whether for hot water or heating, draws on a house supply that was usually installed with gas in mind. When a heat pump arrives alongside an induction cooktop and reverse-cycle heating, the main switch and consumer mains often need to go up a size.

Ferntree Gully's housing history runs from fibro cottages with wood stoves after the First World War to the postwar urbanisation that filled most of the suburb. The early cottages, where they survive, were wired for very little. At the 2021 Census 88.0% of homes were separate houses, so most upgrades are single-property jobs, with AusNet Services, the distributor, approving the change and fitting a new meter. Ferntree Gully has parts in a Bushfire Prone Area and under a Bushfire Management Overlay, and some owners there ask for a generator inlet or battery backup as part of the same work.
