Frequently Asked Questions
When should a switchboard be upgraded?
Upgrade your switchboard if circuits frequently trip, lights flicker, or you notice buzzing noises. Homes with old ceramic fuses are particularly at risk. Modern appliances demand more power, so upgrading improves safety and prevents fire hazards while ensuring compliance with today’s electrical standards.
What are the benefits of a modern switchboard?
Modern switchboards feature safety switches (RCDs) that protect against electric shock and fire. They improve energy efficiency, support additional appliances, and reduce the risk of system overload. An upgrade also ensures compliance with current Australian safety standards.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most upgrades are completed within a single day, depending on the property’s size and complexity. Your electrician will thoroughly test every component to ensure the system is safe, efficient, and fully operational before they leave, giving you peace of mind and reliable power for years to come.
