Safe Switchboard Upgrades & Replacement Services
Old or overloaded switchboards can pose serious safety risks. Whether you’re renovating, installing new appliances or simply keeping up with modern standards, our team will assess your existing setup and recommend a compliant solution.
We upgrade ceramic fuses to circuit breakers, install residual current devices (RCDs) for life-saving protection and label everything clearly so you know exactly what powers what. It’s a professional upgrade, done properly from start to finish.
Key Benefits of Upgrading Switchboards
Upgrading your switchboard doesn’t just protect your home, it also improves how your electrical system functions. Modern switchboards reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and unexpected outages.
In addition, they ensure your circuits are protected, your appliances run safely, and your wiring stays within regulation. It’s also a must-have if you’re adding air conditioning, solar or a new kitchen setup. A proper upgrade gives peace of mind that your electrical system can keep up.
WHAT WE DO
Types of Switchboard Upgrades
There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to switchboard upgrades. We offer a range of upgrade options tailored to your home or business needs – whether you’re improving safety, expanding capacity, or meeting compliance requirements. Here are some examples of what we offer:
-
1. Circuit Breaker Upgrades
We replace outdated ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers – safer, faster and easier to reset in case of overload. This upgrade is essential for older properties and brings your system in line with today’s standards.
-
2. RCD Safety Switches
RCDs protect you from electric shock by cutting off power when a fault is detected. We install RCDs on all lighting and power circuits to meet current Victorian safety regulations and ensure your family is protected.
-
3. Load Capacity Upgrades
If your switchboard is struggling with high-demand appliances like ovens, air con or EV chargers, we’ll upgrade the load capacity and wiring to handle the additional power draw. This prevents overloads and tripped circuits.

Frequently Asked…
Questions? No problem! Below are the most commonly asked questions about switchboard upgrades across Melbourne. If you have more questions, feel free to get in touch.
-
If your home has ceramic fuses, frequent circuit trips, flickering lights or no safety switches, it’s time for a switchboard replacement or upgrade. These are signs your board may not be compliant with current safety standards. Modern appliances and systems demand more power, so if you’ve renovated recently or installed air conditioning, it’s worth checking.
-
Yes, your power will need to be temporarily switched off during the upgrade for safety reasons. Our electricians will advise you before this happens and aim to keep any downtime as short as possible to minimise disruption.
-
The process of switchboard replacement usually takes around 3 to 5 hours. In this whole process, our skilled technicians will take all the necessary safety precautions. They will also thoroughly inspect the grounding system to ensure that it is fully functional. At the end of the service, a series of electrical tests will be done to ensure that the switchboard is working as required.
-
A 3-phase power switchboard is usually considered to be better at delivering more power as compared to a single-phase power switchboard. This makes them very useful for delivering electricity to commercial and industrial buildings that require power-heavy machinery. In addition, 3-phase systems can support the power load of power-heavy appliances amd they are reliable at keeping your systems safe.
-
Absolutely. Every switchboard upgrade comes with a Certificate of Electrical Safety. This document confirms the work meets Victorian standards and is completed by a licensed electrician. It’s important for insurance and peace of mind.
-
Switchboards are usually made up of insulating materials like PVC, bakelite, and polycarbonate sheets. The purpose of switchboards is to safely distribute electricity through the whole facility, whether it’s a residential unit, industrial facility, or commercial unit. A switchboard structure usually comprises of a frame, instrumentation, bus, overcurrent protective devices, exterior covers and enclosures. The switchboard frame is a skeleton that contains all the other components. Since it also houses a fuse for every circuit, it needs to be made of insulating materials.
