Lacking modern protection, ageing fuse boxes leave a home exposed, so they are replaced with a board carrying circuit breakers and safety switches. Each circuit is then reconnected and tested, the board is labelled, and a certificate of compliance is issued.
Heat that you can feel through the panel cover, or a board that is warm to the touch even at rest, is a symptom worth taking seriously. A properly functioning board does not generate noticeable heat in normal operation. Book an inspection so the cause can be identified safely.
What it costs hinges on the condition of the current board, how many circuits require protection, and whether you add safety switches or surge protection. Hidden problems like worn wiring or asbestos can affect it once we look. We assess at no callout fee and supply a free written quote so there are no surprises.
Every job is staffed by licensed and insured electricians who work to current Australian standards. Your switchboard upgrade is certified with a certificate of compliance on completion. Our lifetime labour guarantee gives you peace of mind that lasts.
If your current board has only fuses or breakers, it is protecting the cables but not the people using the power. RCDs fill that gap by disconnecting the supply the instant current leaks to earth. We recommend them on every job and fit them to the appropriate circuits.
Most standard home upgrades take from a few hours up to about a day from start to finish. Where the job allows we offer same-day service, so many boards are swapped over and tested without a return visit. Larger or more involved work can run longer, and we keep any power interruption as short as we safely can.
Finding out takes only a moment, and a short call or enquiry confirms whether your address sits within our service zone. We cover the local area and the surrounding suburbs, reaching into the broader region for the right job.
Confidence is warranted here because we replace these older boards regularly without drama. The asbestos backing that some panels carry is removed using the correct safe procedures, then a modern compliant board is fitted and tested. You are in good hands throughout.
Because a dangerous switchboard is an emergency, our service runs every hour of the day. Sparks, a burning smell, scorch marks, and a board that will not reset are all reasons to ring immediately. Isolate the power at the main switch if it is safe and we will be on our way.
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.
