Thinking about three phase for a renovation, an all-electric home, a fast EV charger or a workshop? Blue Link Electrical Services is based in Marrickville and installs three-phase switchboards and circuits across the Inner West. We coordinates the network side, which is level 1 and 2 work arranged through accredited partners, with Ausgrid, so you deal with one contact. Switchboards are our main specialty, and Matthew, the owner and licensed electrician, quotes every job.

Most Inner West houses, from Federation and Victorian terraces in Newtown and Annandale to workers' cottages in Rozelle and Marrickville, run on single phase. That's enough for a typical home: induction cooking, a split system or two and a 7 kW EV charger. Three phase is worth considering when the planned load is large and sustained:
Not sure what you have? Read do I have three-phase power?
The Inner West's older homes bring their own challenges:
Upgrading to three phase can mean a new meter panel, a new service and a full switchboard replacement in one go. We saw a similar meter setup in Hurlstone Park, where an old board in a timber cupboard above the front entry was relocated: see the Hurlstone Park switchboard relocation.
The Inner West has a lot of working buildings: shops and restaurants on King Street, Marrickville Road, Norton Street, Darling Street and Liverpool Road, and warehouses, breweries, studios and workshops around Marrickville, St Peters and Sydenham. We install three-phase switchboards, sub-boards, machinery circuits, three-phase power points and commercial kitchen circuits, and can work outside trading hours. See commercial electrical Marrickville, commercial electrical Ashfield, commercial electrical services and our commercial fit-out in Stanmore.
This Ashfield job is a three-phase switchboard in a metal enclosure, with a main switch at the top and the incoming three-phase supply run in from above. Circuits are balanced across the phases so no single phase is overloaded, the red, white and blue cabling makes the phases easy to identify, and each circuit is labelled for safe isolation. Every circuit was tested before sign-off with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work. See the Ashfield three-phase switchboard and switchboard upgrades in Ashfield.
Three phase runs at 230 V from each phase to neutral and 400 V between phases. The benefits are more capacity, a power supply that spreads big loads across three phases, and the ability to run three-phase equipment directly. A three-phase power upgrade isn't worth it for every home, and we'll tell you if yours doesn't need one.
Mainly the network side (whether three phase is at the pole, overhead or underground service), the meter box, the switchboard and the number of circuits. Ausgrid's charges are separate from ours. We give a written quote before any work starts. See switchboard upgrade cost.

Most are single phase, especially older terraces and cottages. Some newer and larger houses, warehouse conversions and many shops and workshops already have three phase.
Often, if three phase is available in the street. It usually means a new meter panel, new consumer mains and a new switchboard. Supply-side work, such as the service mains, point of attachment and metering, is level 1 and 2 work arranged through accredited partners, and we coordinate it with Ausgrid.
Some streets have it at the pole and some don't. We check availability first, before anything is ordered.
Not usually. A single-phase home can run a 7 kW wall charger, which suits most daily driving. Three phase only helps if your car accepts 11 kW or 22 kW charging.
Yes. We install three-phase switchboards, sub-boards, machinery circuits and three-phase power points for workshops, warehouses, breweries and studios.
Sometimes. Heritage controls and Ausgrid rules both affect where a new meter enclosure can sit. We assess that during the site visit.
It is usually replaced with a three-phase board, with load balancing across the phases and RCBO protection on the circuits.
