A fixed price for your Wheeler Heights switchboard, worked out from a photo rather than a guess. Electrical3 is based in Cromer, minutes from Wheeler Heights, 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. |
This is the belt where a board upgrade pays for itself. Most of these homes are on their second or third renovation with the original board still in place — which is exactly where nuisance tripping, no safety switches, and no room for the next circuit come from.
Elevated, established and mostly original family homes from the 1960s and 70s. Long ownership means original boards, and it also means the house has quietly gained air conditioning, a second fridge, a workshop and a pool since the wiring was designed.
Ceramic fuses, and no safety switch on lighting or power

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We do not publish one figure because boards are not one job — a tidy modern board needing two extra circuits and a 1960s fuse panel with no earth are different pieces of work.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 Wheeler Heights.
