Switchboard Assessment, Repairs and Upgrades

Installation, replacement and investigation of damaged, hot or unreliable electrical outlets.
Lighting & Ceiling Fans
Indoor and outdoor lighting, replacement fittings, switches and ceiling-fan electrical work.
Switchboards & Safety Switches
Assessment of switchboard faults, circuit protection, safety switches and upgrade requirements.
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An upgrade may be considered when a board has outdated equipment, insufficient circuit protection, physical damage or inadequate capacity for planned electrical work.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.

COMMON REASONS TO CALL
Signs Your Switchboard Needs Assessment
Do not open or work inside a switchboard yourself. Arrange a licensed assessment when you notice persistent faults or visible concerns.
- Ceramic or rewirable fuses and older protective equipment
- Circuit breakers or safety switches that repeatedly trip
- Buzzing, burning smells, heat marks or visible damage
- Partial power loss affecting one or more circuits
- A board that lacks space for planned electrical work
- Renovations or new loads requiring circuit assessment
How a Switchboard Assessment Is Prepared
Useful information provided with the request helps our team understand the work and identify details that may need to be confirmed at the property.
Record the Symptoms and Affected Circuits
Tell us whether the concern is repeated tripping, partial power loss, heat, noise, visible damage or planned new work. If a breaker or safety switch is affected, note its label and what equipment was operating when the issue occurred.
The Existing Installation Determines the Scope
A switchboard cannot be assessed from age alone. The enclosure, protective devices, wiring, circuit arrangement, available capacity and planned electrical use all influence whether repair, partial improvement or broader upgrade work should be considered.
Cooking Appliances May Need Separate Diagnosis
If the switchboard trips only when an electric oven or cooktop heats or a particular function operates, the appliance may need specialist diagnosis. Use the oven or cooktop repair page and include the brand, model and exact point in the cycle when tripping occurs.
