What pushes the price up

The charger is separate. Around $420 for a Tesla Wall Connector, from $350 for a decent universal unit. If you have already bought one, we install it at the same labour price.

Why we quote before we arrive

The industry norm is a free on-site estimate, which means an appointment, a wait and a salesperson. We would rather ask four questions and give you a number. Roughly nine out of ten homes can be quoted accurately from the build year, panel location and parking distance — the rest we look at properly, and we say so.
