Old fuses, too few safety switches, or no room for solar, a battery or an EV charger? We tell you honestly whether your board needs replacing or just a few changes, quote it in full, and leave everything tested and documented.

Safety switches that protect people.

Old ceramic fuses protect the wiring, not the people using it. Safety switches cut the power in a fraction of a second if something goes wrong.

Room for solar, a battery or an EV charger.

We plan your board around what you want to add, so you don't pay for another upgrade next year.

Every circuit is tested and labelled, and you get the safety certificate your state requires.

5 star Google review

I had a couple of extras to add last minute, awkward spaces to squeeze in and children, plants and animals to dodge, but it was all taken in stride with a smile and completed swiftly and efficiently.

Switchboard upgrade FAQ

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?

Common signs are ceramic fuses, safety switches on only some circuits (or none), no spare space on the board, breakers that trip often, or plans to add solar, a battery, an EV charger or air conditioning. We can check it and tell you honestly.

How long will the power be off?

Most home upgrades need the power off for part of a day. We confirm the expected time in your quote, and plan business shutdowns around your trading hours.

What if my switchboard contains asbestos?

Older boards can have asbestos backing panels. We identify this during the inspection and explain how it will be handled safely before any work starts.

Do I need an upgrade for solar, a battery or an EV charger?

Not always. It depends on your board's space, protection and capacity. We check this as part of any solar, battery or EV charger quote, and only include an upgrade if it's needed.

My switchboard is buzzing, tripping or smells of burning. What should I do?

Have it checked soon. If it's hot to touch or smells of burning, keep clear and call us on (07) 3180 8812. If there's smoke or fire, call 000.
