Can you get my house ready for an EV charger?

One house, one contractor
Power, security and smart home, wired by the same team
Most homes need all three, and they share the same switchboard, the same walls and the same cabling. ARCD Electrical plans them together, so cameras get power and data where they need it and the lighting control is wired in from the start.
- Switchboard first. Every device on the plan runs back to it, so it is checked before anything is added.
- One cabling run. Power, data and camera cable go in together, behind the walls.
- One handover. Lighting, cameras and controls explained by the people who wired them.
How a job runs
From the first call to the handover
Call, text or email
Tell us what you need and where. A photo of the switchboard, the problem or the area to cover saves time.
Look and plan
For bigger jobs we look at the property, talk through options and give a quote. Major projects are quoted free.
Do the work
Licensed, tidy work to Australian standards, with cabling for power, data and security run together where it makes sense.
Test and hand over
Everything is tested, explained and handed over with the right certification, and we stay available for questions.

Compare your options
ARCD Electrical vs separate trades vs a DIY kit
A general, honest comparison with no names. In Queensland, electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician: a plug-in camera is fine to set up yourself, but new circuits, hardwired power and anything at the switchboard are not.
| What matters | ARCD Electrical | Separate trades | DIY kit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who does the electrical work | A licensed electrical contractor (licence 90142) | An electrician, booked separately | You, which is illegal for wired work in Queensland |
| Power, data and security in one visit | Yes: power, cabling, cameras and automation planned together | Usually two or three bookings that have to line up | Battery or plug-in gear only |
| Camera and sensor placement | Planned on site for entries, driveways and blind spots | Depends on the installer | Guesswork from the box |
| Handover | Testing, a walk-through and how to change settings yourself | Varies between trades | The instruction leaflet |
| After the install | Servicing, upgrades and reconfiguration | Several numbers to call | You are on your own |
