Hornby, Hei Hei and Broomfield have solid 1960s to 1980s homes, concrete block garages and plenty of EVs. We fit chargers here most weeks.
EV Home Charger Installs Around Hornby
Hornby is practical housing: 1960s to 1980s homes in Hei Hei, Broomfield and the streets off Main South Road, with sturdy concrete block garages that are a real plus for mounting a charger and a small minus for running the cable. Block walls mean core drilling rather than a quick hole through weatherboard, and we price that in from the photos so it is never a surprise on the day.
The boards in Hornby are mostly 1970s and 1980s originals that have had a heat pump circuit added. Many have RCDs; some do not. Spare ways are often the limit. A load-managed charger handles a full board; a board with no RCD protection gets brought up to standard first.
On the edges, Hornby blends into the new builds of Wigram and Awatea, where the installs are standard-price jobs with modern boards. And a Hornby customer who paired solar with her charger now does most of her driving on power from the roof, which is a reminder that the solar-capable chargers earn their keep out here where the sections get more sun.

Switchboards in Hornby
Expect a 1970s or 1980s board with a few additions. If it has RCDs and one spare way, a 32A RCBO goes in and a load-managed charger keeps the mains safe. No RCDs means an upgrade first, and we quote it as a separate line.
Cable Runs
Attached block garages are a short run with a core drill. Detached garages at the rear of Hornby sections push past 10m and are itemised per metre.
What a Hornby install usually costs
Standard $873 or from $1,422 for charger and labour, plus core drilling where the garage is concrete block. The whole figure comes fixed before we book a date.

Got the solar and EV charger done together so the car mostly charges off our own panels now. Power bill has noticeably dropped since.
