Test Home Charging Before Committing to a Full Install
You are not sure whether a 7kW charger is right for your home, or whether home charging fits your routine. Upgrading your 10-amp outlet to 15-amp lets you start charging at home and understand your actual needs before spending money on a full switchboard and circuit installation.
We upgrade your 10-amp outlet to 15-amp at a fixed price, giving you weeks or months to test the charging experience. If you later decide to upgrade to a 7kW charger, the outlet upgrade cost does not carry over, but you will know exactly what you need.
Our electricians are licensed and Clean Energy Council accredited. The upgraded outlet comes with a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty.
We upgrade GPO 15A outlets for EV charging across Central Coast and surrounding suburbs. See all the areas we cover.
Licensed Wall Outlet Upgrade, Certified and Compliant
A 15-amp outlet upgrade is electrical work. It requires a licensed electrician, a proper assessment of the outlet’s current capacity, and a compliance certificate covering the work done.
Our electricians are licensed and Clean Energy Council accredited. Every outlet upgrade is carried out to Australian wiring standards and backed by a compliance certificate and workmanship warranty.
Licensed work, compliant from day one.
0416 738 622Outlet Assessment
We assess your existing 15-amp outlet, your commute distance, charging habits, and your EV’s specifications to confirm whether an outlet upgrade will fully meet your home charging need.
Right-Sized Upgrade Specification
Based on the assessment, we specify the outlet upgrade to handle 3.6kW of continuous charging load, covering wiring, protection devices, and mounting position for safe overnight use.
Upgrade Installation and Compliance
The outlet is upgraded, wired correctly, tested for safety, and a compliance certificate is issued covering the full scope of work.
Warranty and Ongoing Support
The outlet upgrade is covered by our workmanship warranty, and we are available for callouts, troubleshooting, and repairs after the work is complete.

Our electrician mentioned we needed 15A but we questioned if it was really necessary or just upselling.
These guys came out, tested our circuit, explained clearly why we needed it, and did the installation properly.
The upgrade was straightforward and we’re really happy with how tidy and weatherproof the new outlet is.

Quality work and reliable charging now, so it definitely feels like money well spent.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a GPO 15A upgrade for EV charging cost in Central Coast?
Upgrading a standard 10A outlet to a 15A socket for EV charging generally costs between $1,050 and $1,900 AUD depending on your existing electrical infrastructure. The low end applies if you have existing 15A-rated wiring and an electrician only needs to swap the wall plate and potentially upgrade the circuit breaker. The high end applies if your wiring is not rated for 15A and new, thicker cabling needs to be run from your switchboard to the outlet location.
How do I know if a 15A outlet is right for me?
Good candidates for a 15A upgrade include people who drive under 100km daily, have access to overnight charging, do not use their EV for highway road trips regularly, and want affordable home charging without major infrastructure work. If any of those do not apply, a 7kW charger may be better. Contact us to discuss your situation.
Will upgrading my outlet cause power outages?
Some brief power isolation may be needed during the upgrade work, but it is typically just minutes. We will confirm the expected downtime when you book. In most cases, the disruption is minimal compared to a full charger installation.
What does a GPO 15A outlet upgrade involve?
The process covers an assessment of your current outlet and circuit, a quote and specification, the upgrade installation involving wiring and protection devices, outlet replacement if needed, testing, and a compliance certificate. Most upgrades are single-visit jobs.
Does a GPO upgrade meet Australian wiring standards?
Yes. All outlet upgrades are carried out to AS/NZS 1500 (Australian wiring rules) by licensed electricians. The compliance certificate issued at the end is the formal record confirming this.
