FAQ

What is a switchboard upgrade?

A switchboard upgrade involves replacing or upgrading the electrical switchboard in a building or home. The switchboard is a central control panel that distributes electricity throughout the building, and it is important to keep it in good working order for the safety and functionality of the electrical system.

Why do I need a switchboard to upgrade?

There are several reasons why you may need a switchboard upgrade:

  • If your switchboard is old or outdated, it may not be able to handle the electrical load of modern appliances and electronics. Upgrading to a newer switchboard can increase the capacity of your electrical system and prevent overloading and potential safety hazards.
  • If your switchboard has visible signs of wear and tear, such as frayed wiring or damaged components, it may be time to replace it. An old or damaged switchboard can be a safety hazard and could cause electrical issues in your home or building.
  • If you are planning a major renovation or extension of your home or building, you may need to upgrade your switchboard to accommodate the additional electrical needs.

Why do I need a licensed electrician for a switchboard upgrade?

Switchboard upgrades involve working with the electrical systems of your property, which can be dangerous if not done correctly. A licensed electrician has the necessary skills and expertise to ensure that the upgrade is completed safely and to the required Australian electrical standards. Choosing an unlicensed electrician or attempting a DIY switchboard upgrade can lead to electrical hazards and potentially cause injury or damage to your property.

How often should I upgrade my switchboard?

It is essential to upgrade your switchboard every 10-15 years to ensure its optimal performance and safety. However, if you notice any warning signs like tripping breakers, flickering lights, or burning smells, it is advisable to seek professional assistance to upgrade your switchboard.
