Your Home’s Electrical System Assessed Properly
Many homes in the Maitland area have switchboards that need assessment before an EV charger can be safely installed. We assess your board, identify what needs to be done, and quote a fixed price before any work begins.
Older Hunter Valley homes sometimes have fuse boxes or boards at capacity. Newer estate homes in Maitland are usually straightforward, but we check every one. The assessment tells us exactly what your home needs.
Licensed, Clean Energy Council accredited electricians carry out the work, with a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty on completion.

Switchboard Upgrades by EV Specialists
Our process starts with a proper assessment of your existing switchboard. We check the age, condition, existing circuits, and available capacity for a dedicated EV charger circuit.
We design the upgrade to meet your home’s needs, specify what protection devices are required, and provide a fixed quote. All work is completed to current standards and signed off with a compliance certificate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to pay for a switchboard upgrade just to get an EV charger?
Not always. Some homes can have an EV charger installed without any switchboard work if there is spare capacity and the board is in good condition. For older homes with fuse boxes or boards at capacity, an upgrade is required before a dedicated charger circuit can be added safely. The assessment is what tells us which category your home is in. Give us a call to arrange a free assessment for your home.
My electrician said I need a switchboard upgrade. Is that correct?
If another electrician has flagged a switchboard upgrade as a requirement, that is likely a correct reading of the situation. Older boards and fuse-based panels genuinely cannot safely carry the continuous load of a dedicated EV charger circuit. What we can do is assess your board independently, confirm the scope, and price the upgrade before any work is agreed. Contact us for a second opinion if you would like one.
How long does a switchboard upgrade for EV charging take?
For most residential switchboard upgrades, the work is completed in a single day. Simpler jobs (adding a circuit to an already capable board) take a few hours. A full panel replacement may take most of a day. We will confirm the expected duration at the time of quoting so you can plan accordingly. Call us today to discuss your timeline.
What are the steps to get a switchboard upgrade done for my EV charger?
Walk through the steps: switchboard assessment visit, fixed-price quote covering the agreed scope, upgrade installation (including panel work and new EV circuit if needed), testing under load, compliance certificate. The charger install can typically follow immediately or be scheduled at the same time for a single combined visit. Let us know if you would like to proceed with a quote.
What does the compliance certificate cover for a switchboard upgrade?
The compliance certificate covers the full scope of the upgrade completed: the switchboard work, any new protection devices, and the dedicated EV charger circuit. It is issued on the day the job is signed off and forms part of the electrical record for your property. Get in touch to discuss your upgrade needs.
