About Glenroy

Houses giving way to townhouses

A third of Glenroy’s occupied dwellings are now townhouses, units or semi-detached homes (ABS 2021). Merri-bek’s Glenroy Structure Plan sets out the regeneration of the Glenroy Activity Centre around Pascoe Vale Road and Wheatsheaf Road.

Older houses tend to need switchboard and safety switch upgrades, while newer townhouses often need extra lighting, power and data once people move in.

What that means for electrical work

FAQ

FAQs

Can you add safety switches to an older board?

Often, yes. Where the old board can’t take them, we recommend a new board with RCD protection on every circuit.

I’m renting. Can I book an electrician?

Yes. Most electrical work needs the owner’s approval, so we can quote to you or directly to your landlord or agent.

When should the electrician come in on a renovation?

Early. Rough-in happens before plastering, so we plan circuits, lighting and appliance points with you first, then fit off at the end.

Something keeps tripping. Can you find the fault?

Yes. We test the circuits to find what’s causing the trip, whether it’s an appliance, a damaged fitting or wiring, and quote the repair.
