Just had a quote from the sparky to replace the electrical box:
Works proposed
Remove old meter panel and switchboard.
Install new metal enclosure to house meters and switchboard.
Install new earth.
Make good of all cabling.
Install 2 x safety switch and circuit breakers as required.
Application to Powercor.
Included is Powercor Truck fee $470.00.
Inspectors fees and Certificate.
Please note several weatherboards may need adjustment
or fixing by handyman due to new proposed box being smaller.
Quote, inc GST: $1,984.00
And that doesn't include making good the weatherboards. This seems WAY high to me. Should I get another quote, or is this within coo-ee? And what do we need a PowerCor truck for?
This is the sparky that the PM uses almost exclusively.
