What's involved

Switchboard Upgrades, done properly

  • Replacing old ceramic-fuse or rewireable switchboards with modern circuit breakers
  • Installing RCD safety switches on power and lighting circuits
  • Adding capacity for renovations, air-conditioning, EV chargers and induction cooktops
  • Correcting and clearly labelling every circuit
  • Issuing a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion

Signs you're due for an upgrade: fuses or breakers that trip often, no safety switches on the board, not enough circuits for modern appliances, a renovation adding load, or a pre-sale safety check. We assess your existing board and quote clearly before starting.

FAQ

Switchboard Upgrades — common questions

About switchboard upgrades in Melbourne

A residential switchboard upgrade is typically a one-day job, with the power off for part of it. The timing is confirmed with you before the day so it's as smooth as possible.

In Victoria, RCD safety switches are required on power and lighting circuits when a switchboard is upgraded or altered. We install them as standard so your board is compliant.
