Pricing guide

Price variation is driven by whether a simple diagnostic visit resolves the issue or the job requires supply upgrades, switchboard work or civil works. A callout plus on-site diagnosis is typically used for straightforward residential single-phase faults, while three-phase supplies, trenching or distributor involvement generally make the job more complex and often more costly. After-hours attendance and required site approvals can also affect the final price.

  • Electrical supply type

    Single-phase residential faults are usually simpler to diagnose than three-phase systems, which often need larger switchgear and heavier cabling.

  • Switchboard complexity and upgrades

    If the switchboard needs partial or full replacement or additional switchgear, the scope and materials required typically increase.

  • Trenching and long cable runs

    Jobs that need trenching, long cable runs or civil reinstatement usually add time, materials and coordination compared with simple internal work.

  • Site type and approvals

    Multi-dwelling, body corporate or commercial sites often require approvals and coordination that can extend timelines and the level of planning needed.

  • Callout, diagnosis and timing

    A callout and diagnostic visit is commonly the first step; after-hours attendance or escalation to a scoped inspection can change the overall quote.

Frequently asked questions

Do EV charger installers need a licence?
Licensing for EV charger installation is mandatory. You should ask an installer to confirm they hold the required electrical licence and any relevant paperwork before work begins.
How is a diagnostic visit usually handled?
Most issues are initially assessed with a callout and on-site diagnosis to check supply, cabling and the switchboard. If the installer finds that upgrades or civil work are needed, they will typically recommend a scoped quote for the full job.
Will my switchboard need upgrading?
Upgrades are usually only needed if the existing switchboard or supply capacity cannot safely support the charger. An installer will typically identify this during the diagnostic visit and indicate whether further work or a scoped quote is likely.
Do I need body corporate or distributor approval?
For apartment carparks, commercial sites or when a supply upgrade is likely, approvals and coordination with body corporates or the electricity distributor may be required. This is commonly flagged during assessment and can affect timing and scope.
