Large blocks, long service lines and private poles

Vaucluse runs along the harbour between Rose Bay and Watsons Bay. Separate houses are its largest group of homes, about half of the total, and only about a quarter are rented.

  • Large blocks where the power runs a long way from the street, sometimes on a private pole, which Ausgrid says is the owner's responsibility beyond its connection point
  • Pool, garden and facade lighting, where pool light replacement and garden lighting design have to suit wet and outdoor conditions
  • Big houses with air conditioning, pool equipment and induction cooktop installation, where the circuits and switchboard are checked before new loads go on
