Hi , lm looking for a electrician that can upgrade my electric to a higher wattage ( I’m with endessa power company they say I’m on 350volts?? Could be wrong there )
When I’ve got cooker lights water and air conditioning on all the power trips out. Helpppppp
Hi. Sound like you on 3.5kw 3500watts
So when you look at any appliance it will say how many watts if you use exceeds 3500 it will trip.
Most aircon are circa 2000 watts most kettle and toasters similar.
i know a great local electrician who uprated ours to 7.5kw. However he is Spanish and speaks no English (at all)
The power company can provide more power to your property however as Spainish love it requires paperwork and a check of the existing installation to make sure the wires can handle the extra. If you have an old property this can be expensive as new cableing has to be run throughout the property. Newer builds should be equipped for more power with chunkier wires already
Ps the higher wattage your electric supply the higher the unit price. So no need to go for more than you think you can use 👍🏽

Do not forget that your monthly standing charge will be about double if you upgrade your electrics.
