Pricing guide
The cost of a dedicated circuit depends mainly on the circuit type, materials and whether the existing switchboard or supply can accommodate it. Standard residential single-phase work with routine access is typically less complex than three-phase or EV/high-draw installations, which usually need heavier cable and different protective devices. Callout fees, after-hours attendance and any required switchboard or supply authority work also affect the final price.
Circuit type and amperage
Higher-capacity circuits, three-phase work or EV-ready setups usually require heavier cable and specialised breakers that increase material and handling effort.
Number of circuits required
Installing multiple dedicated circuits increases materials, labour time and the likelihood of needing additional switchboard capacity.
Switchboard and supply capacity
If the existing board or incoming supply lacks capacity, a replacement or supply authority/metering upgrade is commonly required and expands the job scope.
Installation route and access
Routing through walls, ceilings, long conduit runs or under slab can add labour and may require chasing or slab coring.
Timing and callout arrangements
A callout fee and standard labour rates usually apply, while after-hours or urgent attendance is commonly charged at a higher rate.
Estimated range
$930 – $5,758
