A Cheaper Home EV Charging Alternative
You are not sure whether a 7kW charger is right for your home, or whether home charging fits your routine. Upgrading your 10-amp outlet to 15-amp lets you start charging at home and understand your actual needs before spending money on a full switchboard and circuit installation.
We upgrade your 10-amp outlet to 15-amp at a fixed price, giving you weeks or months to test the charging experience. If you later decide to upgrade to a 7kW charger, the outlet upgrade cost does not carry over, but you will know exactly what you need.
Our electricians are licensed and Clean Energy Council accredited. The upgraded outlet comes with a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty.

15A Wall Outlet Upgrade, Certified and Compliant
A 15-amp outlet upgrade is electrical work. It requires a licensed electrician, a proper assessment of the outlet’s current capacity, and a compliance certificate covering the work done.
Our electricians are licensed and Clean Energy Council accredited. Every outlet upgrade is carried out to Australian wiring standards and backed by a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty.
Licensed work, compliant from day one.

Right-Sized Upgrade Specification
Based on the assessment, we specify the outlet upgrade to handle 3.6kW of continuous charging load, covering wiring, protection devices, and mounting position for safe overnight use.

We were concerned the upgrade would cost a fortune and take ages.
Jacob quoted fairly, explained what was included, and got the job done efficiently without any hidden surprises.
Cheaper than we expected and the quality of work was excellent, everything looks professional.

Safety was a big concern for us so we wanted someone who really knew electrical work.
Raymond and the team tested the circuit thoroughly, installed proper protection, and explained how the system works safely.
Feel completely confident using the outlet now, and they explained everything without making us feel rushed.

We had an old 10A outlet and worried about whether it would handle constant EV charging.
Ryan came out, tested our switchboard, explained that we could safely go to 15A, and installed a proper weatherproof outlet with the cable run neatly.
The charging time improved dramatically and we’re not mucking about with adapters anymore.

Our electrician mentioned we needed 15A but we questioned if it was really necessary or just upselling.
These guys came out, tested our circuit, explained clearly why we needed it, and did the installation properly.
The upgrade was straightforward and we’re really happy with how tidy and weatherproof the new outlet is.

Wasn’t sure if our home’s wiring would need a complete redo just for an outlet upgrade.
Jacob checked everything, said it was fine, and got the new outlet installed in under an hour without any drama.
Now we’ve got a dedicated charging outlet that works great and looks professional.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a GPO 15A upgrade for EV charging cost in Maitland?
Upgrading a standard 10A outlet to a 15A socket for EV charging generally costs between $1,000 and $1,800 AUD depending on your existing electrical infrastructure. The low end applies if you have existing 15A-rated wiring and an electrician only needs to swap the wall plate and potentially upgrade the circuit breaker. The high end applies if your wiring is not rated for 15A and new, thicker cabling needs to be run from your switchboard to the outlet location.
How do I know if a 15A outlet is right for me?
Good candidates for a 15A upgrade include people who drive under 100km daily, have access to overnight charging, do not use their EV for highway road trips regularly, and want affordable home charging without major infrastructure work. If any of those do not apply, a 7kW charger may be better. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Will upgrading my outlet cause power outages?
Some brief power isolation may be needed during the upgrade work, but it is typically just minutes. We will confirm the expected downtime when you book. In most cases, the disruption is minimal compared to a full charger installation.
What does a GPO 15A outlet upgrade involve?
The process covers an assessment of your current outlet and commute, a quote and specification, the upgrade installation involving wiring and protection devices, outlet replacement if needed, testing, and a compliance certificate. Most upgrades are single-visit jobs.
Does a GPO upgrade meet Australian wiring standards?
Yes. All outlet upgrades are carried out to AS/NZS 3000 (Australian wiring rules) by licensed electricians. The compliance certificate issued at the end is the formal record confirming this.
