Will my new-build Butler home need a switchboard upgrade?

Rarely. Homes built in the last couple of decades usually have a compliant board with spare capacity, so the job is normally a straightforward charger circuit and commissioning.

I drive to Perth city daily from the northern corridor. Is 7kW enough?

For almost everyone, yes. A 7kW charger adds roughly 40km of range per hour, so even a long return commute is replaced during a normal overnight charge.

Can charging be scheduled to run on cheaper energy?

Yes. Smart chargers can be scheduled to run in a set window, or set to prioritise surplus solar during the day. We configure the schedule and demonstrate it before leaving.

Local knowledge

What changes an install in Butler

Every suburb has its own housing stock, parking and supply. Here is what typically drives the work in Butler, 6036.

Housing & switchboard

Butler is almost entirely newer detached housing built through the 2000s and 2010s, alongside the ongoing development stretching through Alkimos and Eglinton. Boards are modern, protection is current and there is normally room for a dedicated charger circuit without any upgrade work.

Parking & cable run

Double garages under the main roof are close to universal here, and blocks are compact, so cable runs from the meter box to the garage wall are usually short and can be concealed neatly.

Power supply

Single phase is the standard supply for the corridor. A 7kW charger comfortably covers overnight charging even with the longer commutes typical of this area; three phase is occasionally available in larger homes.

Butler at a glance

Butler sits in the northern growth corridor with Clarkson, Merriwa, Ridgewood, Alkimos, Jindalee and Yanchep nearby, and residents typically drive further each day than inner-suburb households. High rooftop solar uptake across these newer estates also makes solar-diverted charging an easy win.
