Your meter box photo

Open the meter box door and take one clear, well lit photo of the inside: the front of the panel. Please do not open the internal panel. The open door is all we need.

Property address

This lets us check which network supplies the property and book a site visit if you proceed.

A photo of where the service cable attaches to the house is optional, and helps confirm the supply.

Your contact details

Last step. Your audit is sent to our office when you submit.

We use these details to complete your audit and respond to you. Your submission is emailed to our office, stored securely with our website host, and added to our job system so we can quote the work. See our Privacy Policy.

From photo to fixed quote

01

We complete a desktop assessment of the board from your photos and property details.

02

If anything needs confirming on the ground, we complete a free site visit.

03

A fixed quote is issued for the works.

Most boards can be quoted directly from the photos. Where a site visit is needed, it is free.

The photo we need

  • Open the meter box door.
  • Photograph the inside: the front of the panel, well lit.
  • Leave the internal panel in place. Live parts sit behind it, and the door shot tells us what we need.

If you already know the board needs replacing, see switchboard upgrades. If you have received a notice from Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy, start at defect notice rectification. For those we need the notice rather than the board.

Common questions

Is the audit really free?

Yes. The photo assessment is free, and so is the site visit if one is needed. You only pay if you accept the quote and we complete the work.

What photo do you need?

Open the meter box door and take one clear, well lit photo of the inside: the front of the panel. Leave the internal panel in place. If you can, add a photo of where the service cable attaches to the house.

How accurate is the quote?

We assess your photos and property details, complete a free site visit if one is needed, and send an accurate fixed quote.

Can I email the photo instead?

Yes. Email your photo with your suburb and contact details to connect@thorntek.com.au, or use the contact page, which also accepts photo uploads.
