Send a photo of your board and get a fixed price for Balgowlah before anyone comes out. Electrical3 is based in Cromer, minutes from Balgowlah, and this is work we do across the Northern Beaches every week.
Every figure below is what we install for, including GST.
| What | Price inc GST | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed price from a photo | Free | Send a photo of the board and the meter. You get the price before anyone comes out. |
| Making room in a full board | $150 to $400 | Where the board is otherwise sound and just has no spare position. |
| Safety switches added | Quoted with the board | RCBOs on the circuits that need them, priced as part of the job. |
| Surge protection, same visit | $397 single phase $638 three phase | Cheapest while the board is already open, rather than a separate call-out. |
| Full board replacement | Quoted before we start | Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or a board at the end of its life. |
Semis, terraces and walk-up blocks, which means half the boards here are shared. Before anything starts, the line between your lot and common property has to be established — otherwise the wrong party gets the bill for the work.
Established family housing around the Stockland centre, much of it renovated in the last two decades. The pattern is consistent: a good modern kitchen and bathroom, a board that was left alone during the renovation, and circuits now carrying considerably more than they were designed for.
Common-property boards in strata blocks, where the fault often sits outside the unit itself
Original rubber or cotton-insulated wiring still live in unrenovated semis
Very limited board space in older units, so adding a circuit means rethinking the board rather than adding to it
Not always. If the board has ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or no spare positions left, it is holding the house back and usually needs replacing. If it is sound and simply full, making room is $150 to $400. Send a photo and we will tell you which one you have before you commit to anything.
We do not publish one figure because boards are not one job — a tidy modern board needing two extra circuits and a 1960s fuse panel with no earth are different pieces of work. What we do instead is price it from a photo, in writing, before we come out. Making room in an otherwise sound board is $150 to $400.

Somebody needs to let us in, and the power is off for part of the day — usually two to four hours for a straightforward replacement. We tell you the window before the day rather than on it.
Yes. Every job gets a certificate of compliance, and the board is left labelled so the next person can see what feeds what. NSW contractor licence 270174C, and a 25 year workmanship guarantee.
That is the cheapest way to do both. The board is already open, the visit is already happening, and a charger needs its own protected circuit anyway. See EV charger installation in Balgowlah.
