Safer wiring is the real point of the work, so the old fuse box comes out and a modern board fitted with circuit breakers and safety switches goes in. Every circuit is reconnected, tested and clearly labelled, then a certificate of compliance is issued once it all checks out.
Scorch marks, discolouration or signs of melting around the fuses or panel are serious indicators that the board has been under stress. Visible damage like this points to heat building up where it should not. Having it inspected promptly is the responsible course of action.
The amount reflects how much work the board genuinely needs, from the number of circuits and the condition of the panel to the safety switches and surge protection added. Older boards sometimes require rewiring or careful asbestos handling, which we make clear. There is never a callout fee and your detailed quote is free and provided up front.
We take qualifications seriously, which is why every electrician we employ is licensed and fully insured. The work is performed to current Australian standards and issued with a certificate of compliance. You also receive a lifetime labour guarantee on the switchboard.
For households with children, pets or anyone using electrical equipment outdoors, RCDs make a real difference to everyday safety. They watch every circuit and react far faster than a person ever could. We recommend covering the main circuits at a minimum and ideally the whole board.
You can typically allow a few hours to roughly a day for a usual home board. Same-day service is common on straightforward upgrades, so one visit often does it. We limit how long your power is interrupted.
Travelling out to a job is part of what we do, so beyond the local area and the surrounding suburbs we are glad to cover the broader region when it suits. Tell us where you are and we will confirm quickly. A short call settles any doubt.
Fitting a new, fully compliant board is the end goal, and we get there safely even when asbestos backing is involved. The old panel is removed using the correct procedures, then the up to date board goes in and is tested. You finish with safe, standards-compliant wiring.
Day or night, our 24/7 emergency line is ready for serious switchboard problems. A board that is hot to the touch, making a buzzing sound, or giving off a burnt smell should never be ignored. Turn off the main switch where it is safe and let our electricians handle the fault.
We ensure the finished board complies with the current Australian standards and operates safely. A certificate of electrical compliance is issued, and the labour is backed for life by our lifetime labour guarantee.
