Signs your switchboard needs an upgrade
Old boards were not built for solar, batteries, EVs and modern appliances. An upgrade is often the first step, and it makes the home safer.
Book a check if you see
- Ceramic fuses or wire fusesA sign the board is decades old.
- No safety switchesOr only one for the whole home.
- Breakers that trip oftenEspecially when certain appliances run.
- Heat, buzzing or a burning smellSwitch off at the main and call us. If there is smoke, call 000.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most homes are done in a day, with the power off for part of it. We confirm timing on your quote.
Who approves a three-phase upgrade?
Your distributor (in Melbourne that is CitiPower, Powercor, Jemena, AusNet Services or United Energy). We prepare and lodge the application.
Do I need an upgrade for solar or an EV charger?
Not always. We check from photos and confirm on site, and only include it if it is needed.
