• Location – the location of your board may cause extra time that we have allowed, this may be due to the cable route and other factors.
• Equipment – You may need a earth rod on some installs, a Type A RCBO may be required on some installations.

For a more accurate cost we would use your provided online survey. We would look at this to ascertain the time and materials that would be required to complete your install.
