Why Claremont Chooses Bolton EC

One Team, Solar To Switchboard Solar, battery storage, EV charging and general electrical work are all handled by the same in-house crew. That means no handovers between separate contractors, no confusion over who's responsible for what, and one point of contact from the first enquiry through to the final sign-off.
Practical Advice Before Any Install Every recommendation starts with how a property actually uses power, not what's easiest to sell. The team looks at roof orientation, household or business usage, and long-term goals before suggesting a system size or setup.
Proven Equipment Only Bolton EC installs Sigenergy, Goodwe, Aiko and Fronius systems. These brands are chosen because they hold up in Perth's climate over the long run, not because they're the cheapest option available.
Backed By Runs On The Board With more than 6,000 solar systems installed across Perth and a current WA electrical contractor's licence (EC 15905), the team has handled most of what a Claremont property, old or new, can throw at them.

Solar Panel Installation

Solar panel installation in Claremont is planned around roof space, orientation, and how much power a household or business actually uses day to day. Older Claremont homes with smaller or more complex roof lines need a different layout to a newer build with a simple single-pitch roof, so panel placement is worked out on-site rather than guessed from a satellite image. The goal is a system that performs consistently through summer peaks and shoulder seasons alike, not just on paper. Every install is designed to fit the property, not the other way around.

Solar Battery Installation

A solar battery lets a Claremont property store the solar power generated during the day and use it later, when household demand and electricity prices are usually higher. This is particularly useful for homes with evening-heavy usage patterns, such as families running air conditioning, pool pumps, or EV charging after work hours. Bolton EC sizes each battery to match actual usage rather than defaulting to the largest unit available. The system is configured to draw down stored energy sensibly rather than exporting it for very little return.

Commercial Solar

Commercial solar for Claremont businesses, from retail premises near the Quarter to offices and small operations further from the town centre, needs a different approach to a home install. Operating hours, equipment loads, and roof access all shape the final design. Bolton EC assesses the site before recommending a system size, so the business isn't paying for capacity it can't use or under-sizing a system that will be outgrown within a couple of years. Installation is scheduled to minimise disruption to trading hours wherever possible.

Electrical Repairs

Electrical faults in Claremont properties, especially older character homes, need proper fault finding before any repair work starts. Bolton EC inspects the issue, traces it back to the actual cause, and carries out the repair without guesswork. This matters more in homes with original wiring that's been added to and adjusted over decades, where a quick fix can mask a bigger underlying problem. The team explains what's found and why a particular repair is the right one before any work begins.

Lighting Installation

Lighting affects how a Claremont property looks and functions, whether that's a heritage-listed home where fittings need to suit the period features or a retail space near Bay View Terrace that needs to present well to customers. Bolton EC installs new lighting layouts and upgrades and replacements to suit the space, taking into account how each room or area is actually used. Careful placement avoids the harsh or uneven lighting that's common in older homes with outdated wiring runs.

Switchboard Upgrades

Many older Claremont homes still run on switchboards that were never designed for solar, battery storage, EV charging, ducted air conditioning, or the number of appliances a modern household uses. If a switchboard is tripping regularly, still uses ceramic fuses, or simply has no spare capacity, it's usually the first thing that needs attention before any new system goes in. Bolton EC assesses the existing board and upgrades it to handle current and future loads safely.

Power Outlet & Switch Replacement

Worn, loose, or outdated outlets and switches are a common finding in Claremont's older housing stock, where fittings may not have been touched in decades. Bolton EC replaces existing points or adds new ones where a property genuinely needs them, whether that's extra power in a home office, a kitchen renovation, or additional circuits for outdoor entertaining areas.

Smoke Alarms

Smoke alarms need to be installed in the right locations and interconnected correctly to meet current WA requirements. This is especially relevant for Claremont's older homes, where original alarm placement often no longer matches what's required today. Bolton EC assesses the layout of the property and installs or upgrades alarms to support both compliance and genuine day-to-day safety.

Ceiling Fans & Ventilation

Ceiling fans and ventilation make a real difference to comfort in Claremont's warmer months, particularly in older homes with high ceilings that hold heat differently to newer builds. Bolton EC installs fans and ventilation systems suited to the room layout and how the space is used, whether that's a bedroom, a living area, or a bathroom that needs better airflow.

Data Cabling & Wiring

Reliable data cabling supports everything from working from home to running a small business near the Quarter. Bolton EC installs wiring that supports stable internet and network performance throughout the property, rather than relying on Wi-Fi alone to cover every room, which is a common weak point in older, more compartmentalised Claremont floor plans.

EV Charger Installation

As more Claremont households and businesses move to electric vehicles, EV chargers need to be matched to the property's existing electrical capacity. Bolton EC checks the switchboard and supply before installation to confirm the charger can run safely alongside everything else in the home and configures the system for reliable day-to-day charging rather than an install that causes nuisance trips later.

How Much Does Solar Installation Cost In Claremont?

A 6.6kW solar system for a typical Claremont home currently costs around $4,500 to $7,000 after the federal STC rebate, with the final figure shaped by roof complexity, panel brand, and whether a battery is added at the same time. Because a share of Claremont's housing stock is heritage-listed or character-era, roof access and panel placement can add a bit more planning time than a standard new-build install, which is worth factoring into a quote.

Job / Service	Typical Price in Claremont
6.6kW solar system	$4,500 – $7,000
10kW solar system	$7,000 – $10,000
10kWh solar battery	$7,500 – $13,000
Switchboard upgrade	$1,000 – $3,500

Every property is different, so treat this as a starting point for budgeting rather than a locked-in price. A few things that move the number for a Claremont property specifically:

Roof pitch, orientation, and shading from established street trees, common in Claremont's leafy older streets.
Whether the property is on the Town of Claremont's Heritage List, which can affect where panels or new cabling can be positioned.
The age and condition of the existing switchboard, particularly in homes built before the 1970s.
Whether a battery, EV charger, or commercial load is being added at the same time as the solar system.

Why Claremont Needs A Local Solar & Electrical Team

Claremont needs a local team because many homes have older wiring, outdated switchboards, or heritage restrictions. These can affect how solar, batteries, EV chargers, and electrical upgrades are installed.

Older wiring may need attention first.
Switchboards may require upgrading.
Heritage rules can affect exterior work.
Apartments and character homes need different solutions.
Local knowledge helps avoid unsuitable installations.

FAQs

Can solar be installed on a heritage-listed home in Claremont?

Often, yes, though panel placement may need to work around what the Town of Claremont’s heritage guidelines allow for that specific property. Bolton EC can assess the roof and advise what’s realistic before a quote is finalised.

Do older Claremont homes need a switchboard upgrade before adding solar?

Many do, particularly homes with ceramic fuses or no spare circuit capacity. A switchboard assessment is a normal first step before a solar or battery install on an older property.

Is Claremont within Bolton EC's service area?

Yes. Claremont sits within Bolton EC’s Perth Metro coverage, which runs from Pinjarra to Two Rocks.

Can smaller Claremont properties still fit a worthwhile solar system?

Usually, roof space, shading from established trees and orientation all affect sizing, but most Claremont homes can fit a system that makes a genuine dent in electricity bills.

How long does a typical solar installation take in Claremont?

Most residential installs are completed within a day, though older homes needing switchboard work or heritage-related planning may need a bit more lead time before the install date.

Can you help with electrical work during a Claremont renovation?

Yes. Electrical planning matters during renovations, particularly when rooms are reconfigured, appliances are added, or new lighting and power points are needed to suit the new layout.
