Your switchboard is the ‘control panel’ of your home’s electrical wiring. If your switchboard is getting on in years, you may need to consider upgrading.

​

While these jobs are relatively quick (Same day completion) they are one of the most important pieces to the puzzle. If a switchboard is not up to Safety standards than it is very possible that you have underlying faults or hidden dangers in your home. Some of the reasons you should consider upgrading your switchboard are:

​

Short-circuits: older switchboard have a greater propensity to short-circuit, meaning that there is a risk of the fuses catching fire, or risk of electric shocks. If your current switchboard still uses replaceable wires on the fuses, it is a safety hazard and needs to be replaced.

 

Safety Switch: this gives you the ability to cut down or restore power when necessary, a feature not present on older switchboards. An electrical safety switch is a crucial feature of modern switchboards.
