Why upgrade your switchboard?

Upgrading your switchboard is essential for:

  • Safety: Old or faulty switchboards can lead to electrical fires, shocks, or equipment damage.
  • Compliance: Ensure your electrical system meets current Australian standards (AS3000).
  • Capacity: Support additional circuits for new appliances, air conditioning, or EV chargers.
  • Insurance: Maintain valid insurance coverage by meeting safety and compliance requirements.
  • Efficiency: Improve the reliability and performance of your electrical system.

Signs you need a switchboard upgrade

Recognizing the signs of an outdated or faulty switchboard can prevent potential hazards:

  • Old-style fuses: Ceramic fuses are outdated and lack modern safety features.
  • No safety switches: Modern switchboards should have safety switches (RCDs) to protect against electrical faults.
  • Frequent tripping: Regularly tripped breakers indicate an overloaded or faulty system.
  • Physical damage: Burn marks, scorch marks, or exposed wiring are clear signs of danger.
  • Over 20 years old: Properties older than 20 years often have outdated electrical systems.
  • Renovations or additions: New appliances or extensions may require an upgraded switchboard to handle increased load.
