More Power, Properly Upgraded
A single phase supply is enough for most homes, but it can fall short once you add things like ducted air conditioning, a workshop, EV charging, or commercial equipment. A three phase switchboard upgrade gives your property significantly more usable capacity, spread evenly across three phases instead of relying on one.
We upgrade switchboards from single phase to three phase across Sydney, and because the upgrade involves the network supply as well as your board, our Level 2 accreditation means we can manage the entire process, including the application to your distributor.
What's Involved in a Three Phase Upgrade
A three phase upgrade touches both the supply side and your switchboard. The work typically includes:
- Assessing your current supply and load requirements
- Managing the application and approval with your network distributor
- Upgrading or replacing your switchboard for three phase capacity
- Rebalancing circuits across the three phases
- Testing and certifying the completed installation
We talk you through timing as well, since some of this work depends on scheduling with the distributor, not just us.
Who Needs Three Phase Power
We are commonly asked to quote three phase upgrades for:
- Renovations or extensions adding significant electrical load
- Workshops, sheds, or home businesses running heavy equipment
- Properties installing ducted air conditioning or large heat pumps
- EV charging setups that need more available capacity
If you are not sure whether you actually need three phase or just a standard switchboard upgrade, we are happy to assess your load and tell you honestly.
