Switchboard Upgardes

Older switchboards often aren’t designed to handle modern electrical loads and may not meet current Australian safety standards. This can increase the risk of power faults, electric shock, or fire.

I carry out professional switchboard upgrades to improve safety, ensure compliance, and prepare your home for today’s electrical needs. All work is completed by a licensed electrician, fully tested, clearly labelled, and issued with an Electrical Certificate of Compliance for peace of mind.

What is a switchboard upgrade and why might I need one?

A switchboard upgrade replaces outdated fuses or old safety switches with modern circuit breakers and RCDs. Older switchboards often don’t meet current Australian safety standards and can increase the risk of electric shock, fire, or damage to appliances. An upgrade improves safety, reliability, and allows your home to handle modern electrical loads.

Is a switchboard upgrade required by law?

A full upgrade isn’t mandatory for every home, but any new electrical work must comply with current standards. If your existing switchboard can’t safely support new circuits, safety switches, or upgrades (such as air conditioning, EV chargers, or renovations), then a switchboard upgrade is required to stay compliant.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most standard residential switchboard upgrades are completed within 4–6 hours. Power will be turned off during the work, but I aim to minimise downtime and will always let you know what to expect before starting.

Will my power be off during the upgrade?

Yes, your power will need to be temporarily isolated for safety while the work is completed. This is usually for a few hours. I’ll coordinate the timing with you so it causes as little disruption as possible.

What’s included in your switchboard upgrade pricing?

• Removal of the old switchboard components
• Installation of new safety switches (RCBO’s)
• Labelling of all circuits
• Testing to Australian Standards
• Issuing of an Electrical Certificate of Compliance (ECOC)

There are no hidden costs — you’ll know the full price upfront.
