Upgrading your switchboard is key to ensuring the safety and efficiency of your home’s electrical system. Older switchboards may not be able to handle the electrical demands of modern appliances and devices, which can increase the risk of electrical fires, short circuits, or power failures. An upgrade allows your home’s wiring and circuits to safely manage current electrical loads, offering peace of mind and improved safety.

Older switchboards, especially those with ceramic fuses, lack safety switches (RCDs), which are now a legal requirement in many homes. Safety switches detect faults and immediately cut power to prevent electric shocks or fire hazards. Without these protections, you and your family could be at risk from faulty wiring, power surges, and overloaded circuits.

A modern switchboard upgrade can also improve energy efficiency, reducing power fluctuations and extending the lifespan of your electrical appliances. If you’re renovating, adding new electrical circuits, or installing high-power appliances like air conditioners, EV chargers, or induction cooktops, a switchboard upgrade is often necessary to support the increased demand.
