SURREY HILLS / MELBOURNE'S EAST
Homes in Surrey Hills.
Work planned around them.
Much of Surrey Hills'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, Surrey Hills had about 5,440 homes: 67% separate houses, 20% townhouses, terraces or semi-detached homes and 12% flats and apartments. About 22% of households in Surrey Hills rent, 42% own their home outright and 35% are paying off a mortgage. By comparison, the share of homes that are separate houses is lower in neighbouring Balwyn (58%) and Box Hill (22%).
55% of separate houses in Surrey Hills 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 3127, about 1,700 rooftop solar systems have been installed since 2001 and 304 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. The share of households with two or more cars is 57% in Surrey Hills, higher than in next-door Balwyn (52%) and Box Hill (24%).
Surrey Hills is split between the Boroondara council area (about 62% of the suburb) and Whitehorse. We also work in the suburbs next door: Balwyn, Box Hill, Box Hill South and Camberwell. Local landmarks include Union Road and Surrey Gardens.
Where Surrey Hills homes often start
- Switchboard Upgrades in Surrey Hills Many homes in Surrey Hills were built decades ago, and 42% are owned outright, often by long-term owners whose switchboard has never been replaced.
- EV Charger Installation in Surrey Hills 57% of households have two or more cars, and 67% of homes are separate houses, where a charger can usually go in the garage, carport or driveway.
- Renovation Electrical in Surrey Hills Period homes in Surrey Hills are often renovated in stages, which is the right time to plan lighting, power and the switchboard together.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED
A few local questions.
Clear answers.
Do you service my part of Surrey Hills?
Yes. We work right across Surrey Hills (VIC 3127), on both the Boroondara and Whitehorse sides of the council boundary, up to the borders with Balwyn, Box Hill and Box Hill South. Include your street in the enquiry so we can confirm the booking details.
Can I have an EV charger installed at my Surrey Hills home?
Usually, yes. 67% of homes in Surrey Hills are separate houses and 57% 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 Surrey Hills 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 Surrey Hills 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.
