Not Sure Your Switchboard Is Up to the Job?
Your switchboard controls and protects every circuit in the home, yet most people rarely look at it. If it still has old fuses, looks worn or has not been checked in years, you may be unsure whether it is still safe and suitable.
Adding appliances, an EV charger or a renovation also raises the question of capacity. An inspection gives you facts to work with before you decide whether anything needs to change.
Reasons customers book an inspection
- An older board with fuses or limited safety switch protection
- Breakers that trip often or feel warm
- Plans to add an EV charger, heat pump or new appliances
- A renovation or extension on the way
- A recent move into a home with a board of unknown condition
Get a Clear Picture of Your Switchboard's Condition
A switchboard inspection tells you where your board stands today. We check its age, condition, circuit protection, labelling and spare capacity, and look for signs of heat, wear or damage.
You then get a plain explanation of what we found and whether your board is fine as it is, needs repairs or would benefit from an upgrade. The inspection is an assessment only, and any repair or upgrade goes ahead only if you approve it.
Our owner Luke has more than a decade of experience as an electrician, so we know what a well-built board looks like and can talk you through your options with confidence.
What the inspection looks at
- Condition and age of the board and its components
- Circuit protection, including safety switch coverage
- Capacity for your current and planned electrical load
- Signs of heat or damage that need attention
- Upgrade advice if the board no longer suits your home

The inspection is an assessment on its own. If we find something that needs fixing, we explain it and quote the work, and nothing further happens unless you approve it.
Common signs include old ceramic fuses, frequent tripping, little or no safety switch protection and no spare room for new circuits. An inspection confirms whether an upgrade is needed, and our switchboard upgrades service can take care of it.
It is a sensible first step. An EV charger adds a significant load, so knowing your board's capacity and condition helps you plan the installation properly.
