Electrical upgrades for Currambine homes.
For many Currambine households the electrical wish list is about future-proofing: a charger for an electric car, better lighting, and a switchboard that can cope with what comes next.
Is your supply ready for a charger?
Whether you have single-phase or three-phase supply, and how much capacity is spare, decides which charger rating makes sense. We check before recommending anything.
Where the charger goes
Cable length, mounting position, how you park and whether you want a tethered or socketed unit all matter. A good position avoids long cable runs and awkward charging.
Charging and solar together
If you have, or plan to have, solar, a charger can be set up to use more of it. This is easier to plan once than to retrofit.
Lighting for home offices and living spaces
Studies and living areas ask more of lighting than a bedroom does. Layered lighting with sensible controls is usually better than a single bright centre light.
Fans and outdoor areas
A ceiling fan on a covered patio or in a bedroom can cut how much you rely on air conditioning. Outdoor circuits need to be installed to suit exposure to weather.
Protection for everything on the board
More appliances and equipment mean more load. Safety switch coverage and board capacity should keep up.
FAQs
EV charging and home upgrade questions
Quick answers to common questions. If yours isn't here, give us a call.
Your switchboard capacity and protection, whether your supply is single-phase or three-phase, the cable route to where you park, and the charging rate your vehicle can accept. We then recommend a charger and quote the installation.
No. Many home chargers are designed for single-phase supply. Three-phase can allow a higher charging rate, but only if your vehicle can use it and your installation has the capacity.
Yes, in the sense that solar can supply power to your home while the car charges. How much solar you use depends on when you charge and the size of your system. We can talk through options that suit your routine.
It can if the board is already near capacity. That’s why we assess it first, and tell you whether it needs protection added or an upgrade before the charger goes in.
Often, yes. We look at the ceiling, roof space access and existing wiring before confirming how it will be done and what it will involve.
