Power Upgrades FAQs

A mains power upgrade involves enhancing the cables between your switchboard/meter box and the point of supply, whether it’s a power pole or an underground green box located on the street. This upgrade allows for the safe use of more power, accommodating items like air conditioning, pools, solar panels, spas, and other high-demand electrical devices.

Upgrades become necessary when the maximum demand exceeds the current rating of existing consumer mains, especially in older houses. These houses were not originally designed to handle multiple air conditioner units, solar equipment, or luxury items such as pools and spas. Additionally, multi-phase upgrades may be needed for granny flat layouts, large sheds, or specific equipment with high power requirements.

Notification:
Notify both Jemena and your retailer about the planned power upgrade.

Availability Check:
Verify the availability of the upgrade before commencing work.

Work Execution:
As the electrical contractor, O’Shea Electrical performs the upgrade, and Energex handles meters and final connections.

Modern homes require larger electricity supplies due to increased heating, cooling, and electrical appliance usage. Upgrading to a 63A single-phase or 3-phase power ensures your house has the capacity for new circuits, appliances, or an electric vehicle fast-charging station.

Supply upgrades are complex processes involving paperwork, organization, and coordination with various parties. O’Shea Electrical manages the entire process for you, handling applications, liaising with electricity distributors, and ensuring a smooth disconnection and reconnection of your supply.

    What Our Customers Say

    Fantastic service received from O'Shea Electrical yet again! Prompt call out, reasonable fees and friendly team. Thanks again to Jarett and all the team at O'Sheas. Sonia
    Shannon was one of the nicest most pleasant and helpful tradesmen I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. He was absolutely punctual, neatly dress and very helpful. I will definitely call you again, should the need arise (and I won’t even mention Russell Crowe!!)
    Shannon did a terrific job very thoughtful – made sure that he co-ordinated turning the water off with the likely needs of the children. Very thorough in ensuring that other lines were not cut off by the repair process. Able to be directed to explore whether extra hidden lines were involved in the leak. I really appreciate his manner and thorough approach.
