Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

Frame 3469783

Flickering lights

Flickering lights are often a sign that your switchboard is struggling to distribute power effectively, This may point to an issue with the electrical system’s efficiency or capacity,

Presence of old ceramic fuses

These outdated fuses pose safety risks and do not provide the level of protection that modern circuit breakers offer.

buzzing noises from the switchboard

This could be a sign of faulty wiring or overheating, which pose a serious risk of electrical fires. It's crucial to address these issues immediately to ensure safety and prevent potential hazards.

Overheated or blackened switches

Damaged switches can indicate excessive heat buildup, posing a serious safety risk. Promptly addressing this issue is crucial to prevent fire hazards and ensure electrical safety.

No safety switches (RCDs) installed

If your switchboard lacks safety switches, your home is at a higher risk of electrical faults and potential electrocution.

Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Safety is Always
First

Old switchboards often lack essential safety switches, putting your home or business at risk of electric shocks or short circuiting. Upgrading to a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and RCD safety switches reduces these risks and ensures a safer power supply.

Meets modern Power Demands

With more appliances such as washing machines, pool pumps, and air conditioners in use, an existing switchboard may struggle to handle the load. An electrical switchboard upgrade helps distribute electricity safely, preventing flickering lights, blown fuses, and power outages.

Compliance with Regulations

Australian electrical regulations require homes to have electrical safety switches installed. If your current switchboard lacks these, it could be considered a safety hazard. Our licensed electricians ensure your switchboard replacement meets the latest NSW compliance standards.

Support for New Appliances

Upgrading your fuse box allows you to safely add many appliances, including modern switchboards, and more electricity-consuming devices. With an upgraded electrical wiring system, you won’t have to worry about old wiring failing when using new appliances.

Steps involved in upgrading your electrical switchboard

Our licensed electricians will conduct a thorough assessment of your existing switchboard. We check for outdated components such as asbestos panels, old wiring, and insufficient capacity. This step helps us identify potential safety hazards and determine the best upgrade solution for your electrical system.

Based on our assessment, we design a customised switchboard setup that meets your specific power requirements. Our team ensures that the new switchboard configuration enhances electrical safety, prevents overloads, and complies with Australian regulations.
We source high-quality electrical components, including circuit breakers, safety switches, surge protectors, and wiring, to ensure a durable and efficient upgrade. Our materials are sourced from reputable manufacturers to guarantee reliability and compliance with safety standards.
Before installation, we turn off the main power supply and safely isolate your switchboard. This prevents electrical hazards during the upgrade process, ensuring the safety of both our electricians and your household.

Our skilled electricians carefully remove the old switchboard and replace it with a new, modern switchboard. We install circuit breakers, safety switches, and any necessary components to enhance your system’s functionality and protection.

New electrical circuits are set up to ensure efficient power distribution throughout your home. We ensure all wiring connections are secure, properly insulated, and meet the required safety standards.
Once the installation is complete, we conduct comprehensive testing to verify the proper functioning of all components. This includes checking circuit breakers, safety switches, and surge protectors to ensure they operate as intended.
After successfully upgrading your switchboard, we provide a compliance certificate confirming that your electrical system meets Australian safety regulations. This document serves as proof of a professionally completed upgrade, ensuring your home is safe and compliant.
