Is Your Switchboard Struggling to Keep Up?
Many older switchboards went in long before induction cooktops, heat pumps, EV chargers and home offices were common. When a board runs short of space or protection, adding anything new gets harder and you may notice circuits tripping more often.
You might be planning a renovation, buying a big new appliance or living with an old board that makes you uneasy. Whatever the reason, an upgrade is easiest to plan before the board becomes the thing holding your project up.
Signs it may be time for an upgrade
- An older board with fuses instead of modern circuit breakers
- No spare room to add new circuits
- Circuits that trip when several appliances run at once
- A renovation or extension that adds new electrical loads
- A board in an awkward spot that needs relocating
Upgrade to a Switchboard Built for Today
A new switchboard gives your home protection that suits the way you live now, with space to add circuits as your needs change. It also makes a renovation, new appliance or future upgrade far simpler to plan.
We look at your current board, the loads you run and anything you plan to add, then recommend a board sized for the property. If your board sits in an awkward place, we can relocate it as part of the job, and we explain what is changing before work starts.
Switchboard installations were part of our work on The Block: Tree Change, and our owner Luke brings more than a decade of experience as a licensed electrician. If the upgrade shows your home needs more supply, we can plan mains and power upgrades at the same time.
What a switchboard upgrade can include
- Board replacement sized for your current and planned loads
- Safety switch and circuit protection suited to the property
- Switchboard relocation when the existing position no longer works
- Space for new circuits for renovations, appliances and chargers
