RESERVOIR / MELBOURNE'S NORTH
Homes in Reservoir.
Work planned around them.
A large share of Reservoir's homes are post-war brick and weatherboard houses, many now being renovated or replaced by townhouses.
The 2021 Census counted about 20,260 occupied homes in Reservoir, made up of 63% separate houses, 32% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 4% flats and apartments. Renters make up about 36% of Reservoir's households; 31% of homes are owned outright and 29% are mortgaged. By comparison, the share of homes that are separate houses is higher in neighbouring Bundoora (76%) and Coburg North (76%).
With an average of 2.4 people per household and a median age of 38, power points, lighting and appliance circuits in Reservoir tend to be well used. We plan additions around the existing circuits so the installation stays safe and practical.
In postcode 3073, about 4,460 rooftop solar systems have been installed since 2001 and 386 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 renting is lower in neighbouring Bundoora (28%) and Coburg North (31%).
Reservoir sits within the Darebin council area. We also work in the suburbs next door: Bundoora, Coburg North, Fawkner and Heidelberg West. Local landmarks include Edwardes Lake Park and Reservoir station.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Reservoir?
Yes. We work right across Reservoir (VIC 3073), up to the borders with Bundoora, Coburg North and Fawkner. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
I rent out a property in Reservoir. 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 36% of Reservoir's households rent (about 7,380 homes at the 2021 Census), so we can work with you or your agent on access and provide the written report.
My Reservoir 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 Reservoir 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.
