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 East was mainly farmland until the Second World War, though a 60-block estate had been released ahead of the station opening in 1925. Rapid residential development came after the war, and that is the era of most of the homes here: brick veneers and weatherboards wired for gas heating, a single-phase supply and a small main fuse.
Those supplies are now being asked to do more. Multinet's network reaches streets in Ringwood East, and owners swapping gas ducted heating for reverse-cycle units, or a gas storage tank for a heat pump, are adding significant load. At the 2021 Census, 29.2% of homes were rented, and landlords electrifying a property face the same question about capacity. AusNet Services is the distributor, so approval and the meter swap run through AusNet. Across postcode 3135, which includes Bedford Road and Heathmont, 409 batteries have been installed since July 2025, and a battery is often when the mains get checked. We calculate maximum demand first and only recommend three-phase where the numbers call for it.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!

The neighbouring suburbs we work are Bayswater North, Croydon, Croydon South and Heathmont. A Ringwood East booking often slots into a run we already have through them.
Ringwood East sits in Maroondah, postcode 3135. For this kind of work the council is almost never involved. What you do get is a Certificate of Electrical Safety for the electrical work.
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.
