Pricing guide

Price depends on complexity, materials, and access conditions at your property.

  • Switchboard condition and access

    Older, non-compliant or hard-to-access switchboards usually require more detailed testing and time on site.

  • Single‑phase versus three‑phase supply

    Three-phase systems or multiple meter arrangements often make the assessment more complex and time-consuming.

  • Distributor coordination requirements

    Where approval or liaison with the electricity distributor is likely, assessors typically allow extra time for communication and checks.

  • Level of testing and reporting

    Basic visual inspections and a short report are usually quicker, while load logging or detailed analysis typically requires additional visits or data collection.

Frequently asked questions

What does a feasibility check include?
A standard feasibility check typically involves a visual inspection, basic electrical tests and a short written report. It usually does not include longer-term load logging or detailed upgrade costings unless specifically requested.
How long will the check take?
A simple residential visit is typically completed in a single appointment. Complex sites, multi-bay surveys or jobs that need distributor liaison often take longer or may require follow-up visits.
Do I need to be home or prepare anything?
You should usually ensure the switchboard and meter are accessible on the first visit, as accessibility is assumed for a standard assessment. For multi-unit sites, having a contact for building management or strata is often helpful to speed the survey.
Is a licence required for this work?
Yes — licensing is mandatory for EV charger installation and related electrical assessments. Ask any provider to confirm they hold the appropriate electrical licence and relevant experience with EV assessments.
