Electricians for Eltham North
Eltham North was once an outlying rural part of Eltham. It became a separate locality when Eltham North Primary School opened in 1925, and for decades the area was also known as Glen Park, a name that stayed in street directories until the 1960s. The Diamond Creek separates it from Eltham on its eastern side, and the two share the 3095 postcode.
Eltham North sits within Melbourne’s green wedge, with bushland reserves throughout, and straddles the Nillumbik and Banyule council areas. Its much loved Adventure Playground was destroyed by fire in 2017 and rebuilt by the community. About 6,800 people live here. The drive from our Box Hill base is about thirteen kilometres.
The suburb’s bushland reserves, walking tracks and the Diamond Creek trail give families plenty of room to explore, and the community is close knit, with strong schools and sporting clubs. Many residents moved here for the trees and the space and have stayed for decades.
Homes in the bush
Most Eltham North homes were built between the 1960s and 1990s on bushy blocks, many with sloping land, split levels and native gardens. The tall trees that make the suburb beautiful also bring storm damage and outages, and older homes often need electrical updates.
Homes from the 1970s and 80s often have smoke alarms only on one level, old switchboards with limited protection and extensions wired from the nearest available circuit. We check all of these and bring them up to current standards.
- 24/7 storm damage repairs
- Generator inlets and changeover switches
- Switchboard upgrades
- Replacement of old buried cables to sheds and garages
- Path, step and driveway lighting
- Interconnected smoke alarms across split levels
On sloping bush blocks, well lit steps and paths prevent falls, and properly protected outdoor circuits prevent shocks when things get wet.
Bushfire readiness
As part of the green wedge, Eltham North faces real bushfire risk in summer. Working smoke alarms, reliable power for water and fire pumps, and a plan for outages are all part of being prepared.
We connect fire pumps and sprinkler systems to generator inlets or battery backup, install interconnected alarms and check that outdoor wiring and fittings are in good condition before summer.
Schools, clubs and families
Eltham North Primary, Glen Katherine Primary, Holy Trinity and St Helena Secondary College, along with the North Eltham Wanderers, the Eltham Redbacks and the Eltham North Jets, make this a busy family suburb. We carry out lighting and safety work for clubs and schools and help families with study areas, extra power and data and air conditioning.
For renovations, we plan the electrical work around the new layout and bring older parts of the house up to standard.
Solar and energy savings
Many Eltham North homes have roof space for solar, and batteries are a natural fit for households that want to ride out outages. We assess your supply and switchboard and plan battery ready upgrades.
You get a written, fixed price before any work begins, and a tidy site when we leave.
