- EV charger install (7 kW single-phase, short run): $1,200–$1,900. Long runs, trenching or board upgrades cost more — see our EV charger guide.
- Split-system electrical (dedicated 16A circuit + isolator + CES): $450–$750 on top of the unit and install. Detail in our aircon install page.

What changes the price
- Cable run distance — double-storey, far from the board, brick walls.
- Switchboard space — full boards usually need an RCBO swap or board upgrade first.
- Access — tile roof, restricted ceiling cavity, no manhole.
- Compliance work — for prescribed work, a Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) must be lodged by the electrician; it isn't an optional extra.
