How much protection does that old fuse box in the hallway really give you? The ceramic fuse inside belongs to a different time, reacting slowly and offering no defence against electric shock, which leaves a modern home more exposed than it should be.
So who should you trust to modernise it? Christchurch Switchboards are local, licensed electricians who replace old fuse boxes throughout Burnside with modern switchboards built around circuit breakers and safety switches, finishing every installation with a certificate of compliance.

Records show that boards installed decades ago were rated for a fraction of the electricity a modern household draws. In Burnside that gap is plain to see, because a fuse box fitted with ceramic fuses and no safety switch simply cannot manage the demand of today’s appliances.
Each of these signs maps to a known cause, and an overloaded switchboard carries a real risk of electric shock and electrical fire that increases over time. Our fully licensed electricians work across Burnside every day, backing every switchboard upgrade with a lifetime labour guarantee and same-day service.

Your switchboard works hard every day, but do you know the signals it gives off when it is under strain? Recognising them early is the simplest way for a Burnside household to stay safe.
Is there anything safe to test yourself? Yes, one thing, pressing the safety switch test button regularly, while everything else behind the board is a licensed electrician’s job. Are you adding solar, air conditioning or an EV charger, or moving into an older home? That is the right time to plan a switchboard upgrade.

Power is isolated first so the work can be done safely. The old board is then removed, a modern board with breakers and RCDs is installed, every circuit is reconnected and tested, each is labelled, and the job ends with a compliance certificate.
Flickering or dimming lights when an appliance switches on often point to a board struggling to keep up. The wiring and protective devices may simply be too dated to manage the current draw. An inspection will reveal whether the board needs replacing or just attention.
The figure is determined by inspecting the panel and weighing its size and condition, the circuit count, and the protective gear involved. Any rewiring or asbestos backing is accounted for. We charge no callout fee to look and provide a free, transparent quote before any work begins.
Our switchboard specialists are fully licensed and insured, giving you a qualified team you can trust around your home. The completed work complies with Australian standards and is certified. We include a lifetime labour guarantee on every upgrade.
Surge protection guards your appliances, but it is the safety switch that guards the people, so the two serve very different purposes. We often fit both during an upgrade for complete cover. Either way, RCDs are the part we never leave out of a properly finished board.
You can generally count on a few hours to roughly a day for a standard home board. Same-day service is offered wherever the scope makes it possible. We keep your power off for the shortest time the work allows.
We are set up to look after the local area and the surrounding suburbs, and we take on plenty of work across the wider region too. Not sure if we reach you? Drop us a message and we will confirm it without delay.
Experienced handling of these older boards means the replacement is straightforward from your side. Where asbestos backing is present we manage its safe removal, then install and test a current board. The work proceeds carefully and to standard throughout.
Urgent faults are covered by our 24/7 emergency service, whether it is the middle of the night or a weekend. Signs that need fast attention include sparking, a buzzing or hot board, a burnt smell, and tripping that keeps coming back. Kill the power at the main switch if it is safe and call us right away.
The work is completed to current safety standards and inspected before we consider it finished. You receive a certificate of electrical compliance, and the labour is protected by a lifetime guarantee.
If your power keeps cutting out under everyday use, an undersized switchboard is often the reason. Christchurch Switchboards upgrades switchboards throughout Christchurch so your home can run everything it needs at once.
