Main board upgrades
Modern boards with circuit breakers and safety switches.
When a big Templestowe home adds split systems, a pool pump, an outdoor kitchen and a home office, the original switchboard can run out of room fast. A switchboard upgrade in Templestowe from Espire Electrical Solutions adds capacity and modern safety switch protection.
Local expertise. Quality workmanship.
Switchboards in 1970s–90s Templestowe homes were sized for their time. Since then, many households have added multiple air conditioners, pool and spa equipment, workshops and extensions.
Older homes are likely to have outdated switchboards and safety switches, which makes them more likely to short-circuit and cause problems. A board with no spare space also makes every new project harder.
Some larger homes have sub-boards in garages or extensions. We look at the whole arrangement, not just the main board.
Upgrading before major projects – such as adding several split systems – makes future work simpler and safer.
