Around 1147 people per square kilometre, Tecoma properties reward a routine because the failures are expensive and remote. Because Tecoma sits about 220 metres up, outages are frequent enough that backup and emergency lighting deserve testing.
Tecoma is about 33 kilometres from the CBD, where newer installations still need testing because devices fail silently. Being part of Yarra Ranges, Tecoma follows the same requirements as the rest of Victoria on preventative maintenance.
Because Tecoma backs onto Belgrave and Belgrave Heights, a second visit is rarely a second trip for us. There were 2064 people living in Tecoma at the 2021 census, spread over around 1.8 square kilometres in Yarra Ranges, postcode 3160.
The area we cover around Tecoma runs through Belgrave, Belgrave Heights, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield, and a booking in any of them is treated the same way. From our Boronia workshop Tecoma is about 7.1 kilometres south-east, which is a short enough run that we can usually fit a look-in around another job rather than making it a separate trip.
