Southern highlands electrical switchboards
At Cool Heat Airconditioning, we offer comprehensive services for electrical switchboards throughout the Southern Highlands, supporting residential and commercial clients with detailed inspections, upgrades and full replacements.
Our team works across a wide range of property types, identifying systems that may no longer meet current standards or have the capacity to support modern electrical loads. Older fuse boxes, lack of safety switches and regular circuit tripping are just a few common signs of systems needing attention.
We inspect each system thoroughly before beginning any work. This includes reviewing the layout, checking for signs of overheating or wear, and assessing whether the current board provides enough capacity for present and future use.
Whether you're renovating, expanding your home, or simply want peace of mind about system safety, we’ll help you understand what’s needed to get your switchboard back on track. Services include rewiring, safety switch installation, surge protection, circuit balancing and full system upgrades.

Our Process & Technical Detail
Our switchboard upgrade process begins with a detailed assessment of the entire electrical setup. We review the current configuration, number of active circuits and any signs of wear or non-compliance.
This includes inspecting cable terminations, checking insulation condition, and confirming whether safety switches and overload protection are in place. If the system is outdated, we explain what needs to change, how it will be done and what improvements to expect in terms of safety and usability.
Once approved, installation is completed in a structured, step-by-step way. Power is safely isolated, and all work is carried out using tested tools and components. The new board is configured to match your electrical demand, with each circuit clearly labelled and correctly protected. We test all devices, confirm compliance with Australian Standards, and provide documentation at the end. Timeframes are communicated clearly, and we make every effort to limit inconvenience throughout the job.
This thorough and well-documented approach ensures every system is left in a safer, more maintainable condition with clear guidance for future use.
What is the main function of a switchboard?
A switchboard distributes power throughout a property and protects each circuit through devices like fuses, breakers and safety switches. It’s the control point for your electrical system. A properly set up switchboard helps manage electrical load and protect people and equipment from faults, overloads or unsafe conditions.
How do I know if my switchboard is too old?
Ageing switchboards often have ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or signs of wear like heat damage or tripping circuits. If you’re adding new appliances or planning upgrades, the system may not be up to standard. An inspection helps confirm if your board needs replacing for safety and compliance.
Why are safety switches essential for modern systems?
Safety switches monitor electrical current and disconnect power in milliseconds if a leak or fault is detected. They’re designed to protect people from electric shock. These devices are now required in new installations and upgrades because they significantly reduce the risk of serious injury from electrical faults.
Can an electrician upgrade my switchboard without major disruption?
Yes. Most switchboard upgrades are completed in a single day. Power is switched off while work is done, then safely restored after testing. You’ll be advised of the schedule in advance. For critical systems like fridges or internet, your electrician can discuss how to manage short outages.
