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

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!

Jeffrey Belvez · Glen Waverley

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.

LOCAL CONDITIONS

Switchboard upgrades in Upper Ferntree Gully, in practice

Upper Ferntree Gully sits at the eastern end of the old Ferntree Gully locality, and postwar urbanisation brought a boys' technical school and the William Angliss hospital there in 1954. Houses from the postwar decades often keep boards with the usual limits: rewireable fuses or early breakers, no RCDs, and no space for anything new.

The suburb straddles Knox and Yarra Ranges, and AusNet Services is the distributor for meter work and solar export. Ferny Creek, a hills station at 513 m about 4 km away, averages a July minimum of 5.3 degrees over its short 2011-2026 record, and heating is the load that finds an old main switch. At the 2021 Census, 96.1% of occupied dwellings were separate houses. Parts of Upper Ferntree Gully are in a Bushfire Prone Area and a Bushfire Management Overlay, which VicPlan confirms by address; owners there sometimes add a generator changeover switch while the board is open, so a fridge and lights can be kept on.
