Kiama Electrical Switchboards
Cool Heat Airconditioning services electrical switchboards across Kiama, assisting homeowners, landlords and business operators with inspections, upgrades and replacements.
Our team works across a range of properties and electrical setups, assessing system safety and ensuring compliance with current electrical standards. From older fuse boxes to modern switchboard panels, we help identify issues that may affect electrical performance or safety, including overloading, lack of RCD protection and poor circuit labelling.
Our service covers complete replacements, circuit breaker upgrades, safety switch installation, rewiring and load management. Each job begins with a thorough site assessment where we evaluate the system layout, usage demands and physical condition.
If any safety concerns or limitations are found, we explain your options clearly and recommend next steps. All switchboard work is completed using approved equipment and documented for your records. We also work efficiently to minimise interruptions to power during the job.

Professional & Transparent Service
Before any switchboard upgrade or repair, our team carries out a full visual and functional assessment of your current setup. We check for outdated hardware, exposed wiring, undersized cabling or unprotected circuits.
If necessary, we recommend a new switchboard fitted with circuit breakers and safety switches that meet modern electrical demands and usage patterns. For larger or older homes, we also consider future additions like solar, EV chargers or extensions when planning upgrades.
Installation involves safely disconnecting power, removing the old board and fitting a new, compliant system. Components are wired in place, tested, and clearly labelled for ease of use. Surge protection and load balancing may be included depending on property requirements. After installation, we confirm everything meets Australian safety standards and explain how to monitor your system going forward.
We remain available for future checks or questions, giving customers access to continued support beyond the job itself. This clear, structured approach ensures every customer receives a professional and transparent service.
What signs indicate a switchboard may be outdated?
An outdated switchboard often has ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or frequent tripping issues. You might notice flickering lights, warm panels, or a burning smell. These signs suggest it may not handle modern electrical loads safely. An inspection is the best way to confirm if an upgrade is needed.
Why are safety switches important on a switchboard?
Safety switches monitor electricity flow and shut off power instantly if they detect irregularities. They help prevent serious injuries caused by electric shock. These devices are now required on most circuits in homes and businesses. Their fast response adds an important layer of protection to your electrical system.
Can I add more circuits to my existing switchboard?
It depends on the current switchboard’s design and capacity. Modern units often have room to expand, but older systems may already be overloaded. An electrician can check for available space and whether the existing setup can safely support more circuits or if an upgrade would be a better option.
How long does a switchboard replacement take?
Most standard switchboard upgrades take between four and eight hours to complete. This includes isolating the power, removing the old setup, installing new components and performing full testing. More complex jobs may require additional time. Your installer will explain the process and provide a realistic timeframe in advance.
