Ashgrove is known for the Ashgrovian: substantial inter-war homes with distinctive gables, generous rooms and high ceilings. They are excellent houses, and they were wired for a household that owned a fraction of today's appliances. Boards sized for that era, and rooms with volume that affects how a cooling system has to be specified, are the two recurring themes.

Local considerations
What's worth knowing about Ashgrove properties.
General characteristics of housing in the area. Not every home is the same, and yours gets looked at on its own terms.
Inter-war switchboards
Ashgrovians frequently retain boards sized for a much lighter load, sometimes still with rewireable fuses and no RCD protection.
High ceilings
Room volume, not just floor area, drives cooling load. Sizing on floor area alone tends to undersize these rooms.
Large established trees
Mature shade genuinely changes the load on a room, and can also affect where an outdoor unit will stay clear of debris.
Original wiring in older sections
Where parts of a home have never been rewired, condition is assessed before anything is added to those circuits.
Sloping sites
Many blocks fall away from the street, affecting equipment placement and run lengths.
