MCKINNON / MELBOURNE'S SOUTH-EAST
Homes in McKinnon.
Work planned around them.
Much of McKinnon'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, McKinnon had about 2,500 homes: 59% separate houses, 28% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 13% flats and apartments. About one in three households in McKinnon rent (33%), while 32% own outright and 34% have a mortgage. By comparison, the share of homes that are separate houses is higher in neighbouring Bentleigh (60%) and Bentleigh East (69%).
46% of separate houses in McKinnon 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.
Clean Energy Regulator records show about 2,720 small-scale solar systems installed in postcode 3204 since 2001, and 440 home batteries since July 2025. 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 McKinnon (54%) falls between neighbouring Bentleigh (52%) and Bentleigh East (60%).
McKinnon sits within the Glen Eira council area. We also work in the suburbs next door: Bentleigh, Bentleigh East, Brighton East and Ormond. Local landmarks include McKinnon station and Allnutt Park.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of McKinnon?
Yes. We work right across McKinnon (VIC 3204), up to the borders with Bentleigh, Bentleigh East and Brighton East. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
I rent out a property in McKinnon. 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 33% of McKinnon's households rent (about 760 homes at the 2021 Census), so we can work with you or your agent on access and provide the written report.
Can I have an EV charger installed at my McKinnon home?
Usually, yes. 59% of homes in McKinnon are separate houses and 54% 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 McKinnon 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 McKinnon 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.
