Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my switchboard needs an upgrade?
You might need a switchboard upgrade if your power trips often, lights flicker, or you still have old ceramic fuses. Modern switchboards with safety switches offer better protection against electrical faults, fire, and shocks. If you’ve renovated or added high-powered appliances, an electrician can assess your system to ensure it’s safe and compliant.
Can I upgrade my own switchboard?
No, switchboard upgrades must only be completed by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is both dangerous and illegal in Australia. A qualified professional will safely handle the wiring, install safety switches correctly, and test everything to meet Australian standards. Proper installation also protects your home insurance coverage and ensures your household’s ongoing electrical safety.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
A standard switchboard upgrade usually takes about half a day. The time varies depending on the age of the current board, wiring condition, and how many circuits are involved. Your electrician will provide a clear plan before starting work and conduct thorough testing to ensure your upgraded system operates safely and efficiently once completed.
