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.
Ringwood is about 1877 people per square kilometre. A straightforward upgrade in most cases, with a planned outage on the day. At roughly 123 metres, Ringwood sits on the rise east of the city, with a mix of overhead and underground supply across its streets.
Ringwood sits about 25 kilometres out in Maroondah. Pools, workshops and chargers are what push these properties past their original supply. For Ringwood, the party that matters is the distributor, not Maroondah. We handle the application and the outage booking.
We treat Ringwood, Croydon and Donvale as one working area rather than three separate postcodes. In Maroondah, Ringwood occupies about 10.2 square kilometres. The 2021 census counted 19144 residents, and the postcode is 3134.
Some background on the place: In 2009, the State Government controversially approved the building of a nine-storey housing development near Ringwood Lake, without Council or public consultation. Build era is the strongest predictor of consumer mains size. Around Ringwood our regular territory covers Croydon, Donvale, Heathmont and Mitcham. Nothing about a booking here is treated as out of area.
Ringwood is approximately 7.4 kilometres north-west of Boronia. We cross that distance most weeks, so there is no premium for it on your quote. Ringwood is served by Ringwood railway station. Streets nearest the line are generally the ones with the oldest switchboards.

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 travel charge applies. At around 7.4 kilometres north-west of our Boronia base, Ringwood is standard territory, and the call-out plus the first half hour is quoted up front.
Yes, Croydon, Donvale, Heathmont and Mitcham as well as Ringwood, all covered from Boronia on the same terms.
Ringwood falls under Maroondah, postcode 3134. No permit is needed for standard work of this kind.
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.
