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 — Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) is included for prescribed work; it isn't an extra.
