  • Lights flickering post-storm
  • No surge protection fitted

FAQs About Switchboards

What steps are involved in a switchboard upgrade?

Reliability is what you gain. The upgrade pulls out the old fuse box, installs a modern board with breakers and RCDs, reconnects and tests every circuit, labels them clearly, and hands over a compliance certificate for a board ready for modern demand.

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?

Where a board predates safety switches and modern breakers entirely, it represents the older style of electrical protection that newer standards have moved well beyond. Such panels respond more slowly and offer less safeguarding. An inspection by a licensed electrician will show what is required.

How do you arrive at a price for a switchboard upgrade?

The final cost reflects the condition and size of the existing board, the number of circuits, and the protective devices like surge protection you decide to include. Any rewiring or asbestos handling is part of the assessment. We charge no callout fee for the visit and give you a free written quote.

Are your electricians licensed and insured?

We make licensing and insurance a firm requirement for every electrician we put on the tools. Each switchboard is upgraded to Australian standards and certified on completion. The labour carries a lifetime guarantee.

Does my board need safety switches to be compliant?

Where a board still has space and sound wiring, we can often add safety switches without replacing the whole unit. That brings shock protection to a board that previously had none. We will inspect what you have and advise whether retrofitting or a full upgrade suits it best.

How long does it take to replace a switchboard?

Most home replacements are completed within a few hours to about a day. Simpler jobs are frequently done with same-day service. We work efficiently to shorten the window your supply is interrupted.

Do you cover my area?

Quick confirmation is only a message away, so let us know your suburb and we will tell you immediately if we cover it. The local area and the neighbouring suburbs are our regular ground, with the broader region reachable.

Do you safely handle the replacement of an asbestos switchboard?

Avoid touching or removing an old board you think may contain asbestos, and never attempt to take it apart. Switchboard work of this kind is for trained professionals who follow the proper safe-removal steps. We handle it safely and fit a fully compliant replacement.

Do you respond to emergency switchboard call outs?

Because electrical faults can escalate fast, we offer a true 24/7 emergency service for switchboards. Smoke, a burning odour, sparking, and a dead board with no power are all reasons to ring immediately. Isolate the supply at the main switch where it is safe and our team will sort the fault.

Will the upgrade be compliant and include a certificate of electrical compliance?

Compliance is verified on every job, so your switchboard meets the standards required today. We hand over a certificate of compliance and stand behind the work with a lifetime labour guarantee.
