Car Charger Installation in Melbourne, VIC
What is included
What Is Included in Our Car Charger Installation
- We check the switchboard and the supply to the house for spare capacity to run a charger.
- We talk through which charger suits your car and the power it can take, before anything is bought.
- We walk the garage or driveway with you to choose where the charger mounts, near the car's charge port.
- Where the board needs it, we add a breaker for the charger or upgrade the board.
- A cable is run from the switchboard to the charger, through the wall, roof space or conduit.
- The charger is fixed to the wall or a post at a sensible height and wired onto its own circuit.
- The charger is tested and commissioned, which means powered up and run through its checks.
- We show you how the charger works, how to start and stop a charge, and how to look after it.

Why Choose Us for Car Charger Installation?
Accountable for every job, long after the day

Local electricians, not a call centre
An electrician answers the phone and the same faces come back if the job runs over a day.
How the job runs
A charger depends on the circuit behind it
Car and garage details
Tell us the make and model of the car, or the one you are thinking about, and where you park it. Say whether the house has single-phase or three-phase power if you know, and if you do not, we can read it at the switchboard. We also talk through which charger suits the car and the power it can take.
Planning the cable run
The quote follows the route the cable takes, from the switchboard along the wall or through the roof space to where the charger mounts. A long run or a full board adds work. If the board cannot take another circuit, the upgrade is part of the job.
Install day and first charge
The power is switched off at the board, the charger is mounted, and the cable is run and connected at both ends. The new circuit is switched on and tested, and the charger is commissioned. Before we go, we show you how to start and stop a charge and how to look after the unit.
Common questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What electrical services do you provide?
We do domestic and commercial electrical work. That covers repairs, circuit breaker replacement, switches, outlets, lighting, appliance installation, switchboard upgrades, safety inspections, car chargers, renovations and new builds. The services page lists each one.
What happens when I call?
You describe what is going on: which room, what the power was doing, and whether a breaker has tripped. We ask a few questions and tell you what we think it is and what the next step is. If it is urgent, we say so and deal with that first.
Do you do emergency callouts at any hour?
Yes. We answer the phone at any hour, every day, and emergency callouts run at any hour too. If something smells hot, a switch is sparking or the power will not come back, call rather than send a message.
Do you handle new builds and renovations?
Yes. For a new build we work through the electrical from the switchboard out, including power points, lighting and cabling for appliances, data and security. For a renovation we work around what is already in the walls, and we coordinate with the builder where there is one.
Can you upgrade the switchboard in my older home?
Yes. Older switchboards often struggle with the load of modern appliances and can be a safety risk. We open the board, look at what is there and tell you what needs replacing, whether that is a few breakers or the whole board.
How often should I have an electrical inspection?
About every 5 years for a standard home. Have one sooner when you are buying a property, when the home has outdated wiring, or when breakers trip often. We check the wiring, the switchboard and the circuit breakers, and you get a plain report with recommendations.
Can you install an electric car charger?
Yes. We start with a consultation on your property's electrical system to decide where the charger should go and what suits your car. If the switchboard or wiring needs work to carry it, we do that as part of the job, then test the charger and show you how it works.
Do you install and replace lights?
Yes, inside and out. That includes downlights, pendants, wall lights, LED upgrades, and outdoor and garden lighting. We can also fit switches and dimmers to go with them.
Can you add or replace outlets and switches?
Yes. We fit new outlets where you need them, swap worn or faulty ones, and replace switches. If an outlet keeps failing, we check the circuit behind it rather than just changing the faceplate.
Do you connect ovens, dishwashers and other appliances?
Yes. That includes ovens, cooktops, rangehoods, dishwashers, washing machines and dryers. Some need their own circuit or a hardwired connection, and we set that up and test it. We can take the old appliance away on request.
What should I send with an enquiry?
Photos help. A shot of the switchboard with the cover open (only if you can do it safely), the faulty fitting, or the room where you want the work done. Add a line on what happened just before it stopped.
Which areas do you cover, and what if my suburb is not listed?
We work across Melbourne and the surrounding areas: the south-east, Casey and Cardinia, plus Box Hill, Hampton and South Yarra. The service areas page lists the places we work most often. If yours is not there, call and tell us the suburb, because the list is not a boundary.
