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.

WHAT THIS JOB COVERS
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.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
Mains upgrades in Upwey, in practice
Upwey sits near 974 people per square kilometre. Trenching across a large block is often the biggest single cost in a mains upgrade here. Because Upwey sits about 220 metres up, winter load from heating is high, which is often what exposes undersized mains in the first place.
Upwey is about 33 kilometres from the CBD, where three-phase supply is more commonly available and newer estates were built with it from the start. Upwey is in Yarra Ranges. A mains upgrade does not need a council permit, but it does need the distributor's involvement, a planned outage and a certificate. We arrange all three.
We work across Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully and Ferny Creek on the same trip, and Upwey sits in the middle of that loop. Upwey is postcode 3158, roughly 7 square kilometres of Yarra Ranges, and held 6818 residents at the 2021 census.
Our working patch either side of Upwey takes in Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield, which is why availability here is usually good. Our Boronia workshop is about 6 kilometres south-east of Upwey, which keeps both the response time and the price honest.

Real questions, straight answers
There is no travel premium for Upwey. It sits roughly 6 kilometres south-east of Boronia, which is a normal run for us. You are quoted the same way a Boronia job is quoted.
Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield are all part of the same patch as Upwey. If we are at one, we are minutes from the others.
That is Yarra Ranges, postcode 3158. Nothing about the usual job requires a council application.
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.
ENERGY. OPTIMISED FOR LIFE.
