Long-term safety & Ease of Use
Our switchboard services begin with a complete review of your system’s condition, layout and load handling. We assess the number of circuits, the presence of RCD protection, and check for signs of wear, overheating or poor labelling.
If the system no longer meets modern safety or performance standards, we walk through the available upgrade options in detail. We consider the property’s current electrical demand and any plans for future additions, such as air conditioning, solar or electric vehicle chargers.
Installation is carefully managed to reduce downtime. We isolate power, remove outdated hardware and install new equipment with minimal disruption. Our team uses approved hardware and ensures each connection is checked and tested before completion.
We upgrade ceramic fuses to circuit breakers or RCBOs, and include surge protection where appropriate. Once the job is complete, we provide compliance documentation and make sure you understand your new setup.
This clear, methodical approach is designed to ensure long-term system safety and ease of use.
What is the purpose of an electrical switchboard?
A switchboard is the main control centre for a property’s electrical system. It distributes electricity to different circuits, monitors power load and houses safety devices such as fuses, breakers and RCDs. It ensures each part of the property receives power safely and can isolate faults when necessary.
How can I tell if my switchboard needs an upgrade?
Common signs include old ceramic fuses, lack of safety switches, frequent tripping, or visible damage. If your home was built before modern electrical standards, an inspection is a good idea. An electrician can assess whether the setup is safe or due for an upgrade.
Are RCDs required by law in new switchboards?
Yes. RCDs are required for new circuits and switchboard upgrades. They reduce the risk of electric shock by cutting power within milliseconds of detecting a fault. Most regulations now require them in homes and businesses, particularly in areas like kitchens, bathrooms and outdoor circuits.
What happens during a switchboard upgrade?
An upgrade involves isolating the power, removing outdated components and installing new breakers, RCDs or a new enclosure. Each circuit is tested to ensure it operates safely and is labelled clearly. You receive documentation and advice on how to monitor your system going forward.
