Switchboard Repairs

Flickering lights, tripped circuits or other electrical issues can mean your switchboard needs repair. Our licensed electricians quickly diagnose and fix faults — from failed circuit breakers to damaged wiring — so your board runs safely and efficiently.

Switchboard Upgrades

Older boards often can't handle the demands of modern appliances, raising the risk of overloads. We replace outdated fuse boxes with modern systems that include safety switches (RCDs) and circuit breakers, improving safety and reducing the risk of electrical fires.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Signs include ceramic fuses, frequent tripping, a burning smell, no safety switches (RCDs), or difficulty adding new circuits. If your board is old or you're renovating, it's worth having it assessed.
What is a safety switch and do I need one?
A safety switch (RCD) cuts power in a fraction of a second if it detects a fault, protecting against electric shock. NSW regulations require them, and we strongly recommend them on all circuits.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed within a day, though this depends on the size of the board and the condition of existing wiring. We'll give you a clear timeframe with your quote.
