An EV charger install covers load assessment, cable run, a dedicated protected circuit and the charger itself, wired so it can't overload your supply. We set up solar-aware charging where you have panels, so the car fills from the roof instead of the grid. In Harkaway that work is done by our own crew out of Boronia, certified and quoted before we start.

We're Boronia based, which puts Harkaway a short run down the road. That's why most EV charger installation bookings in Casey land inside the week. Load management is what makes a charger work on an ordinary single-phase supply. The charger backs off when the house is drawing hard and picks back up later, which is far cheaper than upgrading the mains just to charge overnight.
We book Harkaway alongside Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren North and Berwick, so you're not paying for a van to cross town. If you've got more than one thing on the list, stack it into the one visit and you'll get better value out of it.
Maximum demand across the whole house, not just the garage.
Single or three-phase, tethered or socketed, with load management where needed.
Dedicated protected circuit, tidy run, correct RCD type for EV loads.
Tested, app configured, solar-aware charging set up if you have panels.
Every EV charger installation booking in Harkaway runs off the same checklist, whether it's a 1960s brick veneer or a new build. Here's exactly what's covered in the price we quote you.
A-Grade licensed, REC 33326, fully insured and CEC accredited for solar design and installation. EV circuits need the correct RCD type and dedicated protection — we install to the current wiring rules and certify the work.
Every Harkaway job starts the same way: load assessment. Maximum demand across the whole house, not just the garage. That's what keeps the quote you're given the invoice you pay.
Solar-aware charging is the difference between fuel that's nearly free and fuel that costs peak rates. Set up properly, the car soaks up midday export instead of sending it to the grid for a few cents.
“One in-house crew — the person who quotes your EV charger installation is the person who does it.”
Casey is mostly newer estate housing, so the board is modern and RCD-protected — the catch is what's behind it. Standard practice on these builds was one small sub-main to the garage sized for lights and a couple of outlets, so a charger needs a dedicated run or load management. Boards are also frequently full despite being new, which is a spare-ways problem rather than a compliance one.
Harkaway sits on the same run as Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren North, Berwick — if we're at one, we're usually minutes from the others.
Anyone can say they're licensed. Here's what that actually means when we're on your job — and the paperwork you'll hold at the end of it.
You see the number, the inclusions and the exclusions in writing. If the scope changes on site, we stop and ask — we don't invoice a surprise.
No labour hire, no subcontractors. The electrician who quotes your job is the one standing in your switchboard, on the same REC (33326).
Every job finishes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, tested circuits, a labelled board and photos of anything hidden behind a wall.
Workmanship guaranteed and manufacturer warranties registered in your name. If something plays up, you ring us — not a call centre in another state.
Nobody can quote EV charger installation honestly without seeing the job. What we can do is show you exactly what moves the number, so the price you're given in Harkaway makes sense before you agree to it. Most installs are half a day. Long runs, three-phase or board work can make it a full day.
Plenty of Harkaway homes still run a board that predates RCDs. If yours does, it either needs upgrading first or it needs allowing for in the quote — we tell you which on the day, not after.
Roof pitch, subfloor clearance and how far the run is from the board move the labour more than the fittings do. We measure it before pricing, so the number holds.
Driven by cable run length, charger model and whether the board has a spare way. Quoted in writing after a look at the switchboard and the parking spot.
EV circuits need the correct RCD type and dedicated protection — we install to the current wiring rules and certify the work. Where a rebate applies we handle the forms and the compliance evidence — you don't chase it.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic service and work done! The boys were super accommodating, answered any questions I had without a problem, left everything neat and tidy and overall did an amazing job installing our battery and inverter. Cannot recommend enough.
Isaac Giblett · Battery + inverter
Zak and Ryan did a amazing job. Even with the obstacles of a double story home with a internal switch board they persevered in the heat and got the job done. Thanks guys we realy appreciate your work and polite attitude.

Ryan and Jack did a great job doing the electrical work on my new 4 head split system. They got the job done in no time, and my split systems were up and running. Once connected, Ryan made sure all 4 heads were working. Thanks guys, great job!
James "Mitchi" Mitch · Split system
The experience is very nice with them. Specially Roy and Jack did their best. We are so much happy about their service. They heard every single word of us and suggest us which is good and why. Highly recommend

If there's more than one thing on the list, tell us when you book. Doing it in the one Harkaway visit means one set-up, one clean-up and one certificate — and it's almost always cheaper than having us back a second time.
Driven by cable run length, charger model and whether the board has a spare way. Quoted in writing after a look at the switchboard and the parking spot. There's no travel premium to Harkaway — it's on our regular run from the Boronia workshop.
Most installs are half a day. Long runs, three-phase or board work can make it a full day.
Yes — we're A-Grade licensed electricians and a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC 33326), fully insured and CEC-accredited for solar design and installation. EV circuits need the correct RCD type and dedicated protection — we install to the current wiring rules and certify the work.
Usually not. Load management lets a charger share the existing supply safely. Mains upgrades only come up when the house is already close to its limit or you want full three-phase charging.
We work right across Casey — including Beaconsfield Upper, Narre Warren North and Berwick — plus the wider east and south-east, from Boronia to Berwick and Balwyn to Warrandyte.
Luke · Founder, A-Grade electrician
Most of what's wrong with this industry comes down to one thing: the person selling isn't the person installing.
I'm a licensed A-Grade electrician, and so is everyone who'll be on your roof or in your switchboard. When we quote your home, we're quoting work we'll do ourselves — which is why we'll happily talk you out of gear you don't need.
If you're thinking about getting off gas, call us. Worst case, you'll hang up knowing more than you did.
