NORTHCOTE / MELBOURNE'S INNER NORTH
Homes in Northcote.
Work planned around them.
Northcote is one of Melbourne's older suburbs, where many homes are Victorian and Edwardian terraces and cottages set among newer townhouses and apartments.
The 2021 Census counted about 10,240 occupied homes in Northcote, made up of 49% separate houses, 27% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 23% flats and apartments. Renters make up about 38% of Northcote's households; 30% of homes are owned outright and 30% are mortgaged. By comparison, the share of homes that are separate houses is lower in neighbouring Brunswick East (23%) and Fitzroy North (14%).
With an average of 2.3 people per household and a median age of 37, power points, lighting and appliance circuits in Northcote tend to be well used. We plan additions around the existing circuits so the installation stays safe and practical.
Clean Energy Regulator records show about 2,780 small-scale solar systems installed in postcode 3070 since 2001, and 261 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. By comparison, the share of households renting is higher in neighbouring Brunswick East (53%) and Fitzroy North (49%).
Northcote sits within the Darebin council area. We also work in the suburbs next door: Brunswick East, Fitzroy North and Thornbury. Local landmarks include High Street and All Nations Park.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Northcote?
Yes. We work right across Northcote (VIC 3070), up to the borders with Brunswick East, Fitzroy North and Thornbury. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
I rent out a property in Northcote. 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 38% of Northcote's households rent (about 3,840 homes at the 2021 Census), so we can work with you or your agent on access and provide the written report.
My Northcote 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 Northcote 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.
