SMART UPGRADES
Power Where You Need It
Switchboards aren’t something most people think about until something goes wrong—but they’re one of the most critical components of your electrical system. A modern switchboard distributes power efficiently across your home or business, protects against overloads and supports newer appliances that draw more energy. If you’re still using ceramic fuses or an older board that lacks safety switches, you're not just behind on tech—you could be at risk of fire, electrocution or costly damage to your electronics.
Upgrading your switchboard can future-proof your property, especially if you're planning on installing air conditioning, solar panels, EV chargers or even just more powerpoints. We also handle switchboard relocations, circuit rewiring and safety switch installations to meet your layout or compliance needs. Whether it’s for your family home, a busy workplace or a high-demand industrial site, we make sure your power stays safe, steady and reliable.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Signs that your switchboard needs an upgrade include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights, a burning smell near the panel or the presence of ceramic fuses instead of modern safety switches. If your property is over 20 years old and hasn’t had an electrical upgrade, it’s likely your switchboard isn’t keeping up with today’s power demands. Upgrading improves safety, reduces fire risk and ensures compliance with current regulations.
Are old switchboards dangerous?
Yes, old switchboards can be dangerous, especially those with outdated ceramic fuses and no safety switches (RCDs). These older systems don’t offer the protection modern switchboards do, which means you’re at greater risk of electric shocks, fire hazards or damage to your devices during a fault. Replacing them with a compliant unit ensures better protection for your property and everyone in it.
What's involved in a switchboard upgrade?
A switchboard upgrade typically involves removing the old unit, installing a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and safety switches, rewiring where necessary and testing the system for safe operation. Depending on your layout or service needs, it may also include repositioning the board or upgrading incoming power supply. The work must be completed by a licensed electrician to meet local electrical codes and safety standards.
