Can check if existing wiring is done on 1phase, if want to change to 3phase, is it possible? And will I need to redo all my existing wiring?

Thanks. You are electrician? Haha, just wondering whether it is worth to do.
(read the cost could go to replace could go to 10k)
Currently, have 5 airconds. But usually only 2 airconds will on simultaneously.
Perhaps during CNY, will on like 4 units together, for a week.

Not required to go 3phase if total load never trip the whole house MCB.
It should be sufficient as long as you don't operate all your electric cookers + all aircon + all WH on simultaneously.

Last time my place's incomer only 40A so previous owner already upgraded 3phase. But if your incomer is 63A I think its not required to do 3 phase.

I see. Thanks, since house currently using smart home setup, and previously electrician did warned about it.
Guess I will monitor and upgrade when the trip become more common.
