Switchboard Upgrade & Installations

As a property owner, you don’t have to understand all the elements that keep your building safe and operating as usual. However, it would help if you had a professional team to rely on for specific repairs or installations. These are some of the reasons why you would need to replace the switchboard in your home.

• Over the last few years, there have been significant changes to the regulations for electrical safety. What professionals once considered safe is now sub-standard with new rules for handling some electrical components. To ensure that you remain compliant and current with the regulations, you need an electrician to inspect your existing switchboard. If it doesn’t meet Australian standards, you should immediately consider upgrading the switchboard.
• Think of the switchboard in terms of your car’s engine. It’s the focal point of the structure, and everything else would fail without it. Every electrical device in your home sources power from the switchboard - from something as small as your toaster to an air conditioner. If the switchboard isn’t performing optimally, it will negatively affect the operation of some of your appliances. Upgrading the main switchboard keeps every electrical component functioning as it should.
• When you consider the electrical demands of a house two or three decades ago, it pales in comparison to what we need today. Back then, you didn’t need a charger for your smartphone, tablets, or laptops, and there were far fewer appliances available than we have presently. As a result of the additional electricity demand, the old switchboards and fuses fail in their task because they simply don’t have the required capacity. Working with older electrical switchboards can lead to overheating and other accidents. To avoid this scenario, it’s best to upgrade your existing switchboard to meet your current demands.
