New houses, so the question is headroom
Nothing here predates 2012. Condition is rarely the issue. What the board has left on it, and how to add what you want without ending up back at the switchboard in two years, is the real question.

Published on our Google Business Profile, word for word.
Luke from next point electrics is very good at his job. Good communication skills and reliable.
Thanks Luke, quality affordable work
Quick and knowledgeable repair from Luke. He went the extra mile to help me find the most cost-effective solution.
Luke was fast and efficient updating my switchboard. Professional from the start and great to work with.
Luke has been true to his word and attends to our work orders when he says he will. The feedback from our tenants has been exceptional and pricing is a bonus for our property investors. Highly recommend
I had an absolute 5 star experience with Luke from NextPoint Electrics. After trying for many years to get my House Switchboard replaced and upgraded, when most other electricians either wouldn't do the work or quoted silly money because it was so involved... Finally I found an experienced and professional Sparky. Reasonably priced, excellent workmanship. I cannot recommend him more highly enough. One very happy customer!

Electrician Charlemont FAQ
Do you actually cover Charlemont?
Yes. It is one of the shorter runs we make into the Geelong side from Ocean Grove, and it carries no distance loading. There is no call out fee and no distance loading.
Which parts of Charlemont do you cover?
All of it, the whole 3217 postcode, and the neighbouring towns with it. Across every release and estate in it, none of it far enough out to be worth charging you extra for.
How quickly can you get to Charlemont?
It is one of the shorter runs we make into the Geelong side from Ocean Grove, and it carries no distance loading. We do not promise a set response time, but you get a straight answer on the phone and a time on the day rather than an all day window.
Is there anything particular about the housing here?
Its age, which is to say almost none. Charlemont was gazetted in February 2012 out of land that had been part of Grovedale and Marshall, and the population went from 364 at the 2016 census to 2,612 at the 2021 one, roughly seven times in five years. Nearly 98 per cent of dwellings are freestanding houses and none are apartments. The median age is 29, the youngest of anywhere we work. So the wiring is new, safety switch protection is there from the start, and the work is almost entirely additions: chargers, second split systems, sheds, alfresco areas and pools on houses only a few years old.

About Charlemont
Charlemont is named after the Earl of Charlemont, a ship wrecked off Thirteenth Beach at Barwon Heads in 1853. Survivors took a route along what is now Charlemont Road to reach Geelong.
As a suburb it is barely more than a decade old. The Armstrong Creek urban growth area was gazetted in 2008, and in 2012 the growth plan was amended to create two new localities, Armstrong Creek and Charlemont, out of land that had been part of Grovedale and Marshall. Charlemont was gazetted in February 2012.
The growth has been among the fastest anywhere. The population was 364 at the 2016 census and 2,612 by 2021, across 1,065 dwellings of which about 92 per cent were occupied, the unoccupied share being what an actively building estate looks like. Nearly 98 per cent were freestanding houses and none were flats or apartments. The median age was 29.
The land has older stories under it. Sparrovale, now a 500-hectare wetlands reserve acquired by the council in 2019 and carrying the Wadawurrung co-name Ngubitj yoorree, was the Geelong racecourse in the late 1840s and hosted the first Geelong Cup in 1872 before the course moved in 1905 and the land became Sparrovale Farm. Iona College opened in the corridor and Yirrama Primary School opened in 2026. One estate here has streets named after characters and places from Game of Thrones.
The practical version for a Charlemont owner: before the charger, the pool or the second split system, have the board assessed for headroom. Doing it in that order is the difference between one visit and three.
If the builder left a rough-in for an alfresco or the garage, it is worth finding out what is actually behind it. What was provided varies between builders and release stages.
