Between pool pumps, pool heaters, ducted air conditioning and EV chargers, a lot of Blakehurst homes are asking more of their power supply than a single phase service was ever built to handle. We're Level 2 ASP electricians who upgrade Blakehurst homes from single phase to three phase power, safely and signed off to code.
Trusted Three Phase Electricians in Blakehurst
A pool pump, pool heater or spa running alongside ducted air conditioning and everyday kitchen loads puts real strain on a single phase supply. In Blakehurst (2221), that combination is a common trigger for nuisance trips, dim lighting when big appliances start up, and motors that wear out faster than they should.
Upgrading to three phase power spreads the load evenly across three conductors instead of one, so voltage stays stable and you get the headroom to run demanding equipment like three phase EV chargers, workshop machinery and larger pool heat pumps without drama. As authorised Level 2 electricians, we're certified to disconnect and reconnect directly to the Ausgrid network that supplies Blakehurst, so the whole job is handled by one team from quote to energisation.
The Most Common Reasons Blakehurst Homes Upgrade to Three Phase
Blakehurst sits within the St George area, under Georges River Council, and is supplied by Ausgrid. These are the upgrade triggers we see most often on 2221 switchboards:
- A home based business or tradie's setup that needs reliable three phase power for tools and equipment.
- Heavy appliance loads, ducted reverse cycle air conditioning, spa heaters, instant hot water and EV charging all running at the same time.
- Solar and battery upgrades, since modern hybrid inverters perform better, export more and last longer on a three phase supply.
- A pool or spa with a pump and heater that draws heavily on the supply, especially in summer alongside ducted air conditioning.
- A renovation, extension or rebuild that adds a new kitchen, extra bathroom or additional living space to the home.
- Preparing the property for sale, with three phase power increasingly seen as a drawcard by buyers and valuers.

What is a Three Phase Power Upgrade?
Single phase power uses one live wire and typically provides up to 240 volts, adequate for light loads but not optimal for heavier consumption without risking system overload and inefficiency. In contrast, a three phase power system incorporates three alternating currents, equally spaced in phase angle, providing up to 415 volts. This configuration allows for a more consistent delivery of power, as the total power delivered never drops to zero, a distinct advantage particularly in industrial settings or in homes with high energy demands.

FAQs
How long does a three phase upgrade in Blakehurst usually take?
Most Blakehurst residential upgrades are completed within 2 to 5 working days from approval. Ausgrid coordination can add 1 to 3 weeks lead time depending on whether overhead or underground works are needed on your street.
Will my switchboard need to be replaced?
In most cases, yes. A three phase upgrade almost always requires a new switchboard sized for three phases, along with updated safety switches and circuit protection to current AS/NZS 3000 standards.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Yes, briefly. We coordinate the changeover to minimise disruption, typically a few hours on the day of energisation. We'll give you advance notice so you can plan around fridges, work from home setups and pool equipment.
Do I need three phase for an EV charger?
For a standard 7 kW home charger, no. For an 11 kW or 22 kW charger, which is increasingly common in Blakehurst garages, yes, three phase is required.
Do I need council approval for a three phase upgrade in Blakehurst?
No development approval is generally required for the electrical work itself, since it's a service upgrade rather than a building change. Ausgrid approval and a Certificate of Compliance are required, and we manage both as part of the job.
Testimonials
"Chris was the professional, punctual and his services are exceptional. Chris re-wired the entire property, chased the electrical work in the bathroom and kitchen areas, left a clean and tidy environment and his open communication and dialogue was a welcomed experience.
When he quoted an arrival time, he was there. He talked me through what he was doing, and provided feedback/suggestions on how to tackle any issues. I felt part of the process, as opposed to being another Customer.
