Local Electricians for Lockleys' Knock-Downs and New Builds

Lockleys, tucked between the Torrens Linear Park and Henley Beach Road, has seen a steady run of older post-war homes knocked down and replaced with double-storey builds over the last decade. Streets like Marleston Avenue and around Rutland Avenue mix original 1950s bungalows with brand new construction. Each new build changes what the street's power supply needs to handle.

A new double-storey home with ducted air conditioning, an electric car and an induction kitchen draws a lot more than the 1950s bungalow it replaced. We deal with consumer mains capacity, SA Power Networks supply applications and three-phase upgrades regularly on Lockleys rebuilds, and we get involved early so the electrical plan isn't an afterthought.

Consumer Mains Upgrades in Lockleys

A new double-storey rebuild with ducted air conditioning, an electric car and an induction kitchen draws a lot more than the 1950s bungalow it replaced. We assess your consumer mains and coordinate the SA Power Networks application when a capacity upgrade is needed.

3 Phase Upgrades in Lockleys

Once a Lockleys rebuild adds ducted air conditioning, an EV charger and a full kitchen fit-out, single-phase supply can run short. We calculate the total connected load and arrange a three-phase upgrade through SA Power Networks where the numbers call for it.

EV Car Charger Installation in Lockleys

Whether it’s a new build or an established home near Lockleys Oval, we check available capacity before quoting an EV charger so there are no surprises about mains upgrades once the car’s already ordered. Installation follows the relevant Australian Standards with proper circuit protection.

Why New Builds Need the Switchboard Sorted Before Anything Else

We see it often in Lockleys: a new build goes up with a switchboard sized for what the house needs today, not what it’ll need in five years once solar, a battery and a second EV charger get added. Planning board capacity and circuit layout properly at first fix costs little extra and saves a second visit later. AS/NZS 3000 sets the minimum, but a board built to the minimum leaves no room to grow.

He spent time getting the 3 lights level and advising on the distance from the ceiling. I’m really pleased with the result. Kane cleared up any mess and was really helpful. Thanks

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I was confused and amused when the Sharkey the Sparky van pulled up, because I was expecting a different contractor.  Mason and Ocean explained that they were there to instal the circuit for the next contractor and quickly got to work.  They were friendly and efficient and gave me a lot of trust in their work.  I'm happy to recommend them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Electrical questions we get asked in Lockleys

We're building new in Lockleys. When should the electrician get involved?

As early as possible, ideally at the plans stage. We can flag where the switchboard should sit, whether you’ll need three-phase for the kitchen or air conditioning, and what to allow for solar and EV charging before the frame goes up, which is a lot cheaper than changing it later.

Do I need three-phase power for a new double-storey home in Lockleys?

Not always, but it’s common once you add ducted reverse-cycle air conditioning, an induction cooktop and an EV charger to the same property. We calculate the total connected load against your existing supply and tell you honestly whether single-phase will cope or whether a three-phase upgrade through SA Power Networks makes sense.
