Switchboard Upgrades

If your home still has ceramic fuses or a board with no safety switches, it was built for a very different electrical load. Air conditioning, induction cooking, solar and EV charging all put demand on a board that may not be ready for it.

We replace old boards, relocate them when renovations call for it, and install safety switches so a fault trips the circuit rather than hurting someone.

Ceramic fuse replacement

Rewireable ceramic fuses are a sign the board is decades old. We replace them with circuit breakers and safety switches in a modern enclosure.

Switchboard relocation

Renovating or extending often means the board is in the wrong place. We move it, extend the circuits and coordinate with your energy distributor where needed.

Safety switches

Safety switches cut power in a fraction of a second when they detect a fault. We fit them to every circuit that needs one and test them before we leave.

FAQ

Switchboard Upgrades questions

How do I know if I need a switchboard upgrade?

Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, frequent tripping or scorch marks all point to an upgrade. We can inspect and advise.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most homes are done in a day, with power off for part of it. We confirm timing when we quote.

Do I need an upgrade for solar or an EV charger?

Sometimes. We check capacity and space on the board as part of those quotes.

Can you relocate my switchboard?

Yes. Relocations are common during renovations and extensions.
