Yes. Changing the supply from single-phase to three-phase alters your connection to the Ausgrid network, which is Level 2 ASP work.
It has to be confirmed with Ausgrid for your address. We check this before quoting the full upgrade, so you know where you stand early.
Not by itself. Three-phase lets you run more load safely. Your bill still depends on how much electricity you use and your tariff.
No. A single-phase charger works in most homes. Three-phase allows a faster charger and helps when charging overlaps with other big loads.
A photo of your meter board and main switchboard, your address and a list of what you’re adding, such as air conditioning, a heat pump, an induction cooktop or an EV charger. Your most recent electricity bill also helps, as it shows your NMI.
Usually, at least in part. The main switch and some circuits change to suit three-phase, and older boards are often replaced at the same time. More on switchboard upgrades.
Tell us what you’re adding, then share a photo of your meter board once we’re in touch. We’ll confirm whether three-phase is the answer and quote the upgrade.
