Houses from the late 1970s
House and land packages were first advertised in 1977, with the first show-houses built along Craigie Drive, and the local shopping centre opened that December. Some houses here are close to fifty years old. Wiring and switchboards from that era weren't planned for today's appliance loads, and older boards may still use rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers and safety switches. Before a kitchen or bathroom renovation, a switchboard and wiring check shows what can stay and what should be upgraded.

Improving a house you plan to keep
At the 2021 Census, 28.2% of homes were owned outright and another 50.1% with a mortgage, so plenty of owners are staying put and improving what they have. Popular jobs include replacing old fluorescent fittings with LED lighting, adding power points where furniture now sits, putting in ceiling fans and upgrading outdoor lights. If several of these are on the list, doing them alongside a switchboard upgrade saves a second visit and keeps the wiring tidy.
No train station, so the garage matters
There's no train station inside the suburb; the nearest is Edgewater on the Yanchep line. With Marmion Avenue to the west and the Mitchell Freeway to the east, getting around usually starts in the driveway. If an electric vehicle is on the horizon, a home charger on its own circuit is the practical option. In an older garage we check the cable route from the board, the spare capacity and whether the supply suits the charger you've chosen.

Questions we get asked
Our 1970s house still has old fuses. Is that a problem?
Rewireable fuses protect cables, not people. A switchboard upgrade adds circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs), which cut the power within a fraction of a second if current leaks to earth. With the first Beldon homes going up from 1977, many boards in the area are worth checking, especially before a renovation.
Is an older house here suitable for solar?
Usually, though the switchboard often needs attention first. Some houses date back to the late 1970s, long before boards were laid out with solar inverters in mind. We check the board, the earthing and space for the inverter connection, so you can choose a solar installer knowing the house side is ready.
