Result of an ev charger installed from a sub board in the garage, this is the main switchboard!
Standards say you have to run the feed from the main switchboard for a high capacity dedicated ev charger.

Most houses have a single phase 63 amp supply, some ev chargers can draw around 30 amps initially, which doesn't leave much to ruin your appliances etc....
so do your research before buying an ev and want a fast charger!

Before and after, switchboard upgrade, testing and test some more...

If your water main was used as the main earth for your house and has been replaced from the road with a plastic water main, chances are your house is not effectively earthed which can create an electrical hazard under fault conditions!..

Always nice when people take the time to give positive feedback after working for them, such as the following:

Hi Tony

It's always nice getting positive feedback & I just wanted to pass some onto you from the tenant at Jacaranda:
Hi Kylie
Just to thank you for your typical efficiency in organizing Tony for us. He has been today and has, as always, done a great job. He is such a nice guy and indeed we are very fortunate to have other contractors like him who you send for maintenance jobs. In our 18 years as a tenant we count our blessings for the mostly very efficient,courteous, friendly and respectful service guys who have come our way and to some extent that has to be thanks to the rental agency managing the property who select these businesses-Barfoot &Thompson.
Thanks so much again Kylie ♥️
Colleen

Hope you have a good weekend Tony 😊

New light install at northcote primary pool, was dark and dingy with only four lights on other side, tricky install with conduit and rewiring on canopy structure, ladder hook was invaluable for safety factor
