GLEN IRIS / MELBOURNE'S INNER SOUTH-EAST
Homes in Glen Iris.
Work planned around them.
Much of Glen Iris's housing is period homes, from Edwardian houses and Californian bungalows to interwar brick homes, many extended or renovated over the years.
At the 2021 Census, Glen Iris had about 11,000 homes: 55% separate houses, 18% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 27% flats and apartments. Renters make up about 28% of Glen Iris's households; 37% of homes are owned outright and 33% are mortgaged. Neighbouring Camberwell (60%) and Hawthorn East (33%) sit either side of Glen Iris on this measure.
56% of separate houses in Glen Iris have four or more bedrooms. Larger homes tend to carry more electrical load (heating and cooling, induction cooking, EV charging), so the switchboard and supply are checked before new load is added.
In postcode 3146, about 2,070 rooftop solar systems have been installed since 2001 and 385 home batteries since July 2025 (Clean Energy Regulator). Solar inverters, batteries and EV chargers all connect through the switchboard, so its capacity and space are worth checking before adding them. For comparison, the share of households with two or more cars in Glen Iris (53%) falls between neighbouring Camberwell (54%) and Hawthorn East (40%).
Glen Iris is split between the Boroondara council area (about 67% of the suburb) and Stonnington. We also work in the suburbs next door: Camberwell, Hawthorn East, Malvern and Malvern East. Local landmarks include Gardiners Creek and Glen Iris station.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Glen Iris?
Yes. We work right across Glen Iris (VIC 3146), on both the Boroondara and Stonnington sides of the council boundary, up to the borders with Camberwell, Hawthorn East and Malvern. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
Can you work in apartments and units in Glen Iris?
Yes. 27% of homes in Glen Iris 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.
Can I have an EV charger installed at my Glen Iris home?
Usually, yes. 55% of homes in Glen Iris are separate houses and 53% of households run two or more cars, so a wall charger in a garage, carport or driveway is common. We check the switchboard, supply and cable route before confirming the installation.
My Glen Iris 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 Glen Iris 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.
