KEW / MELBOURNE'S INNER EAST
Homes in Kew.
Work planned around them.
Much of Kew'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, Kew had about 10,300 homes: 50% separate houses, 24% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 26% flats and apartments. Nearly one in three households in Kew rent (29%), while 40% own outright and 29% have a mortgage. Neighbouring Abbotsford (10%) and Alphington (52%) sit either side of Kew on this measure.
59% of separate houses in Kew 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 3101, about 1,820 rooftop solar systems have been installed since 2001 and 295 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. By comparison, the share of households with two or more cars is lower in neighbouring Abbotsford (22%) and Alphington (49%).
Kew sits within the Boroondara council area. We also work in the suburbs next door: Abbotsford, Alphington, Balwyn and Balwyn North. Local landmarks include Kew Junction and Studley Park.
Where Kew homes often start
- Switchboard Upgrades in Kew Many homes in Kew were built decades ago, and 40% are owned outright, often by long-term owners whose switchboard has never been replaced.
- Renovation Electrical in Kew Period homes in Kew are often renovated in stages, which is the right time to plan lighting, power and the switchboard together.
- EV Charger Installation in Kew 52% of households have two or more cars, and 50% of homes are separate houses, where a charger can usually go in the garage, carport or driveway.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Kew?
Yes. We work right across Kew (VIC 3101), up to the borders with Abbotsford, Alphington and Balwyn. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
Can you work in apartments and units in Kew?
Yes. 26% of homes in Kew 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 Kew 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 Kew 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.
