MACLEOD / MELBOURNE'S NORTH-EAST
Homes in Macleod.
Work planned around them.
A large share of Macleod's homes are post-war brick and weatherboard houses, many now being renovated or replaced by townhouses.
At the 2021 Census, Macleod had about 4,160 homes: 77% separate houses, 20% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 3% flats and apartments. Renters make up about 23% of Macleod's households; 37% of homes are owned outright and 36% are mortgaged. Neighbouring Bundoora (76%) and Greensborough (85%) sit either side of Macleod on this measure.
With an average of 2.5 people per household and a median age of 41, power points, lighting and appliance circuits in Macleod tend to be well used. We plan additions around the existing circuits so the installation stays safe and practical.
191 home batteries have been installed in postcode 3085 since July 2025, on top of about 1,420 solar systems since 2001, according to the 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 Macleod (53%) is lower than in neighbouring Bundoora (57%) and Greensborough (63%).
Macleod is split between the Banyule council area (about 60% of the suburb) and Darebin. We also work in the suburbs next door: Bundoora, Greensborough, Heidelberg Heights and Heidelberg West. Local landmarks include Gresswell Nature Reserve and Macleod Village.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Macleod?
Yes. We work right across Macleod (VIC 3085), on both the Banyule and Darebin sides of the council boundary, up to the borders with Bundoora, Greensborough and Heidelberg Heights. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
Can I have an EV charger installed at my Macleod home?
Usually, yes. 77% of homes in Macleod 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 Macleod 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 Macleod 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.
