Houses with garages and gardens
Eight in ten occupied dwellings in Templestowe Lower are separate houses, and almost half are owned outright (ABS 2021).
Houses with garages and gardens suit an EV charger and outdoor lighting, but an older switchboard may need upgrading first to handle the extra circuits.

Switchboards and EV charging
An EV charger adds a large continuous load. Older boards often need upgrading first, like this one.

Common questions
Can my house take an EV charger?
Most can. We check the switchboard, supply and cable run to the garage or carport before quoting the charger circuit.
When should a switchboard be upgraded?
Before a renovation, when adding big appliances or air conditioning, or when the board has old fuses and no RCD protection. A photo of the board is a good starting point.
What outdoor lighting can you install?
Step lights, path lights, garden spikes, uplights and wall lights, wired on their own circuit with switching or timers.
Can you add circuits for air conditioning?
Yes. We run dedicated circuits and isolators for air conditioning. Task Trades also installs split system and ducted air conditioning.
