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 board, circuit protection, enclosure, consumer mains, metering and capacity before setting the scope. The quote covers the agreed replacement, RCBOs, labelling, testing, certification and any distributor coordination. For board capacity, protection, upgrade triggers and installation details, see the full detail on switchboard upgrades.
LOCAL CONDITIONS
Switchboard upgrades in Upwey, in practice
Upwey is open at roughly 974 people per square kilometre, where large homes carry more circuits and a board upgrade is as much about capacity for what is coming as about what is there now. Sitting near 220 metres in Yarra Ranges, Upwey gets damp winters, and moisture in an old external enclosure is a common finding rather than a rare one.
Upwey is about 33 kilometres from the CBD, where boards are newer but often already full, because estate homes were built with exactly the circuits they needed and no more. Upwey is in Yarra Ranges. A switchboard upgrade needs no planning permit. It does need the distributor notified where the supply arrangement changes, and it always needs a Certificate of Electrical Safety.
Being next to Belgrave Heights and Ferntree Gully means Upwey is almost never a standalone trip for our crew. For scale, the 2021 census counted 6818 people in Upwey, across about 7 square kilometres of Yarra Ranges, postcode 3158.
Around Upwey our regular territory covers Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield. Nothing about a booking here is treated as out of area. Boronia is our base, roughly 6 kilometres south-east of Upwey. Short distances like that are why we can commit to a time and keep it.

Real questions, straight answers
No. Upwey is about 6 kilometres south-east of our Boronia workshop, well inside the area we cover every week, so there is no travel loading on the quote. The call-out and the first half hour are priced before we start.
We cover Belgrave Heights, Ferntree Gully, Ferny Creek and Lysterfield alongside Upwey, and a job in any of them is quoted on the same basis.
Upwey is in Yarra Ranges (3158). Council approval is not part of a standard job, and we will tell you plainly if your property is the exception.
Ceramic fuses, a single RCD covering everything, no spare ways, or breakers that trip when two appliances run together are all clear signs. So is any plan to add solar, a battery, a heat pump or a charger.
ENERGY. OPTIMISED FOR LIFE.
