Renovating or adding more electrical load to your home? Don’t forget about the switchboard. ⚡

We were out at this home in Minchinbury where the owners have already completed an extension, they’re adding a spa bath and there’s also an EV potentially coming in the future.

That can mean a very different electrical demand compared with what the home was originally designed for.

After assessing the existing setup, we upgraded the property to three phase to provide additional capacity for what they’re adding now… and what they may want to add later.

Not every renovation needs three phase. The important part is checking the existing supply and switchboard before simply adding more and more load to the house.

Planning an extension, new air conditioning, EV charger, spa, pool or other major electrical upgrade?

Get the electrical side looked at early so you know what the home can actually support.

This 3-phase upgrade took a turn we definitely weren’t expecting… 😳⚡

We had the Level 2 team on site to upgrade the consumer mains to three phase, but when we went to pull the new mains through…they weren’t budging.

After locating the route underneath the driveway, we found the problem.

The existing cable had previously been damaged and repaired beneath the driveway, with that section no longer running through proper conduit and routed around plumbing pipe.

Definitely not something we were going to leave underneath a brand-new 3-phase upgrade.

So we located and exposed the affected section, opened up the driveway and reinstated the cable route properly so new conduit and mains could be run back towards the supply.

Sometimes the biggest part of an electrical job is what you find once you start opening things up.

Big thanks to the HGE Connections team for the Level 2 works 🤝⚡

An EV charger install starts well before the charger goes on the wall. ⚡

At this Hoxton Park home we looked at the existing switchboard, electrical demand, available supply, cable route, protection and how the homeowner expects the house to change in the future.

Because choosing the charger is only one part of getting the installation right.

Air conditioning, cooking appliances, solar, batteries and future electrical upgrades can all affect what makes sense for the home.

Our aim is to give the homeowner a solution that works properly now — without creating unnecessary headaches later.

The job isn’t finished just because the power is back on. ⚡

One of the most important parts of electrical work is the part most homeowners never actually see… the testing afterwards.

A plug-in socket tester is a handy quick check, but for the work we complete, we go through the relevant electrical tests, record the results and provide our customers with a PDF report.

That means you’re not simply being told everything is okay… you have a record of the testing carried out after the work was completed.

For us, it’s about leaving the homeowner with confidence that the job has been properly tested, documented and completed to the standard we expect. 📝

During the site inspection at this Hoxton Park home, we spoke…with the owner about what the property may need in the future…more electrical load and potentially a three-phase upgrade.

So while we already had access, we ran the EV charger cable with that future plan in mind.

If they decide to upgrade later, we’re not starting the difficult cable route all over again.

Good electrical planning isn’t only about what the home needs today. It’s asking what the owner may want next.

EV charging, air conditioning, solar, batteries and three-phase upgrades all benefit from planning early.

An EV charger can be one of the biggest electrical loads you add to a home…. so what happens when everything else is running too? ⚡


This Hoxton Park property already has plenty happening electrically, including air conditioning, cooking loads, solar/battery equipment and the usual household demand.


For this installation we used a Zappi with load management configured so the charger can respond to the electrical load on the home rather than simply demanding maximum power regardless of what everything else is doing.


Charger selection matters. The fastest charger on paper isn’t automatically the best solution for every house.

We came to this Hoxton Park home to assess an EV charger. The charger wasn’t the only thing that needed attention. ⚡

Before installing an EV charger, we look at more than where the charger is going on the wall.

We assessed the existing switchboard, household demand and cable route, and found that part of the existing installation didn’t have the safety-switch protection we wanted to see.

The switchboard was upgraded as part of getting the home properly prepared for its new EV.

It’s exactly why we prefer to inspect an EV installation properly rather than guessing from a few photos.
