EV Charger Installation in Collaroy

Mounting the unit itself takes an hour, tops. Everything that determines whether the job's done properly happens at the switchboard.

Here's the rundown on a typical Collaroy job.

Switchboard capacity check: Before anything's ordered, we work out whether the existing board can take the extra draw, and price an upgrade if it can't.

Dedicated circuit: A circuit built just for the charger, run back to the board and sized to suit the unit going in.

Charger mounting and wiring: Fitted to the wall or post you've chosen, wired in and tested to full charging load.

Safety switch protection: A dedicated safety switch (RCD) covers the charger circuit on its own, independent of the rest of the board.

Cable routing: The run is planned to avoid trip hazards and keep the install tidy, whether that's through a garage wall or across a driveway.

Testing and certification: Full load test before handover, with a Certificate of Compliance for the notifiable work involved.

Housing along Florence Avenue and the streets around it is a genuine mix: detached houses on the slopes, and a run of units and apartments closer to the beachfront on Pittwater Road.

That split matters for EV chargers.

A detached house is usually a straightforward job: board capacity, then a dedicated circuit to wherever the car parks.

An apartment or strata property is a longer process, shared switchboards, allocated parking, and body corporate approval before a charger goes anywhere near a wall.

We work through both regularly, and the first conversation is usually about which kind of property you're in, because it changes the scope before we even look at cable runs.

A straightforward single-house EV charger install usually takes half a day. Strata jobs typically take longer once approvals are factored in.

1. Site check: We assess the switchboard, the charger location and the cable run before quoting.
2. Circuit and safety switch: A dedicated circuit and safety switch (RCD) are installed back to the board.
3. Mount and wire the charger: The unit's fitted and wired to the confirmed spot, then connected to the new circuit.
4. Load test and certify: The circuit is run under full charging load, then the paperwork gets lodged once it checks out.

We're a Master Electricians Australia member, so the board assessment and install both get checked against a real standard, not a guess.

Behind every EV charger install sits a lifetime workmanship guarantee. Labour is never charged twice, and that promise doesn't have an expiry date. The charger itself is separately covered by a 12-month product warranty.

Benjamin, a recent customer, said we came across as properly professional throughout: when the site threw up a problem nobody had caused, we already had a fallback running almost before he'd noticed.
