Switchboard Upgrades for Safer, More Reliable Power
Your switchboard protects and distributes power throughout the property. We assess the existing board and circuits first, then explain whether repair, added protection or a broader upgrade is appropriate.
Old and Ceramic Fuse Boards
Assessment of ceramic or rewirable fuses, older protective equipment and the practical options for modern circuit protection.
Safety Switches and RCBOs
Review of the existing safety-switch arrangement, protected circuits and any recommended RCD or RCBO work.
Tripping, Heat or Damage
Investigation of repeated trips, buzzing, heat marks, burning smells, damaged equipment and unexplained circuit loss.
Capacity for New Electrical Loads
Switchboard and circuit assessment before renovations, additional appliances, air conditioning or home EV charging.
What This Service Can Include
The exact work depends on the existing installation, access, equipment and findings at the property. Recommendations are explained before additional work proceeds.
Switchboard Assessment and Fault Finding
We assess repeated tripping, damaged components, heat concerns, unexplained circuit loss and other switchboard symptoms. The cause may be within the board, an affected circuit or connected equipment, so testing is required before recommending work.
Switchboard Upgrades
An upgrade may be considered when a board has outdated equipment, insufficient circuit protection, physical damage or inadequate capacity for planned electrical work. The required scope depends on the existing installation and property.
Safety Switches and Circuit Protection
Safety switches and circuit breakers perform different protective functions. A licensed electrician can assess the existing arrangement, identify the circuits present and explain any recommended protection work.
Preparation for New Electrical Loads
Renovations and new equipment can change the demands placed on an electrical installation. We can assess the switchboard and circuit requirements before work such as additional outlets or suitable appliance connections proceeds.

What Affects Switchboard Upgrade Cost?
There is no single price that fits every property. We review the existing installation and explain the required work before you decide whether to proceed.
Board Size and Number of Circuits
The number of circuits, available space and the condition of the enclosure and protective devices influence the materials and labour required.
Mains, Earthing and Existing Wiring
The existing supply, earthing, wiring condition and any faults found during testing can change the appropriate scope of work.
