Site & load check
How much spare capacity your home has, where the charger should go and the best cable route from the switchboard.
Home / EV chargers
Charge at home. Properly.
Home EV charger installs done right. A proper load check, the right circuit, a neat install and a walk through so you know exactly how to use it.

What is involved
More than a box on the wall.
A charger draws a lot of power for hours at a time. Getting the install right up front protects your home, your car and your switchboard.
Switchboard upgrade
If your board or consumer mains are not up to it, you will know before you commit, with the upgrade priced in the same quote.
Dedicated circuit
A circuit just for the charger with the right protection devices, so it runs safely night after night.
Charger supply & install
A charger to suit your car and your home, mounted neatly with cable routed and protected.
Load management
If your home is near its limit, load management lets the charger share power safely with the rest of the house.
Test & handover
Tested, commissioned and explained before Luke leaves. Western Power is contacted where the job needs it.
Questions
Good to know.
Can I just charge from a normal power point?
A standard power point can charge an EV slowly, but it is not made for hours of heavy use every night. A dedicated charger on its own circuit charges faster and is built for the load.
Will my switchboard handle a charger?
Some homes are fine as they are. Others need a switchboard upgrade or load management. Luke checks before quoting, so there are no surprises on the day.
Do you supply the charger?
Yes. Luke can supply a charger to suit your car, your home and how you drive, and talk you through the options first.
What about strata or workplace charging?
Apartment, strata and small business charging needs extra planning and approvals. Get in touch and Luke will explain what is involved for your building.
