Our Electrical Switchboard Upgrade Service
Comprehensive Assessment and Professional Quote
Our switchboard upgrade process begins with a thorough assessment of your existing electrical system. We evaluate your safety switches, circuit breakers, wiring, and overall switchboard condition. This helps us identify any issues or potential hazards. Based on this assessment, we provide a detailed, expert quote that outlines the necessary upgrades and associated costs, ensuring transparency and no hidden fees.
Replacement of Outdated Components
Older switchboards often contain rewire-able fuses and outdated components that are not equipped to handle today’s electrical loads. We replace these with modern circuit breakers and safety switches, enhancing your system's safety features and preventing potential electrical fires. Our upgrades ensure your switchboard is compliant with current electrical safety standards and regulations.
Installation of Safety Switches and Circuit Breakers
Safety switches and circuit breakers are vital for protecting your home or business from electrical shocks and faults. We install these devices to ensure your electrical system is safe and reliable. These upgrades not only protect against electric shocks but also help prevent electrical fires by quickly tripping circuits when a fault occurs.
Signs You Need to Upgrade Your Switchboard
Old Wiring and Switchboards
Older switchboards and wiring may not meet modern safety standards, posing significant safety risks such as electrical shocks and fires. Upgrading to a new switchboard with current safety features is essential for ensuring the safety of your property.
Frequent Tripping
If your circuit breakers or fuses trip regularly, it’s a sign that your switchboard can’t handle your current electrical demands. This can lead to power interruptions and increased risk of electrical fires.
Increased Electrical Demands
Modern homes and businesses have higher electrical demands due to the increased use of appliances and technology. If you’re adding new appliances or upgrading your electrical system, you may need a switchboard upgrade to manage the additional load.
Flickering Lights
After installation, we conduct a thorough inspection and series of testing to ensure everything is operating correctly and safely. This crucial step confirms the integrity of the electrical work and the safety of the installation, providing peace of mind that your home or business is equipped with reliable and efficient power points.
Increased Electrical Demands
