Work planned around them.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Gardenvale?
Yes. We work right across Gardenvale (VIC 3185), up to the borders with Brighton, Brighton East and Caulfield South. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
I rent out a property in Gardenvale. What electrical checks does it need?
Victorian rental providers must arrange an electrical safety check at least every two years, and smoke alarms need to be tested every year. About 47% of Gardenvale's households rent (about 210 homes at the 2021 Census), so we can work with you or your agent on access and provide the written report.
Can you work in apartments and units in Gardenvale?
Yes. 43% of homes in Gardenvale are flats or apartments. Work in an apartment can involve the owners corporation, a shared meter room and booked access, so we confirm those details before scheduling.
My Gardenvale home is older. Should the switchboard be checked?
It is worth checking before adding major load such as air conditioning, an induction cooktop or an EV charger. Older boards can have rewireable fuses or circuits without safety-switch protection. We assess the board and explain what, if anything, needs to change.
What should I send for a quote?
Tell us what you want changed, your street in Gardenvale and any access details. If you have chosen a fitting or appliance, include the model. Photos are optional; there is no need to remove electrical covers.
