Is your switchboard telling you something?
Your switchboard protects every circuit in your home. Consider an upgrade if:
- You still have old ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers
- Your board doesn’t have safety switches
- Breakers trip often when appliances are running
- You’re adding a renovation, extension or air conditioner
- Your home is older and the board has never been updated

Switchboards in older homes weren’t designed for the number of appliances we use today. Outdated boards and missing safety switches increase the chance of short circuits and electrical faults.
A modern switchboard with safety switches is designed to cut power quickly when a fault is detected, helping protect the people in your home.

0431 569 629How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Old ceramic fuses, no safety switches, and breakers that trip frequently are common signs. If you’re unsure, we can check it during an electrical safety inspection.
Will I lose power during the upgrade?
Power needs to be switched off while the board is replaced. We’ll let you know what to expect before we start.
Should I upgrade my switchboard before a renovation?
It’s worth checking. Renovations and new appliances such as air conditioners can add load, and an older board may not be suited to it.
Are your electricians licensed for switchboard work?
Yes. All our electricians are fully licensed and insured, REC 25142.
