Switchboard Upgrades for Home Capacity & Power

Your old switchboard was never meant to handle the amount of power we use today. 

Your outdated system gets immense stress from every new electrical appliance, like an induction cooktop or a heat pump, which leads to constant tripping and poor performance.

A switchboard upgrade is often the only way to safely increaseyour home's electrical capacity and make sure you have a reliable power supply.

Need More Electrical Capacity?

If you are installing any of these high demand items, you need an upgrade to safely handle the load:

❄️ New Air Conditioning: Adding a second air con unit or upgrading to a large, ducted system often exceeds the capacity of an old fuse box.

🏊 Pool or Spa Heating: These powerful systems require dedicated circuits that older switchboards simply cannot provide without risking overload.

🔌 Major Appliance Upgrades: Appliances like induction cooktops, modern ovens, or instantaneous hot water systems require a higher and more consistent power supply. This is due to the combined load of many appliances on your current devices.

Upgrading to 3-Phase Power

A standard single phase system just won't be enough for larger homes, workshops, or when you plan a high powered EV charger installation.

We handle upgrading your home to 3-Phase power. This safely provides a lot more electricity through three main cables.

This safely gives you the extra capacity needed for large motors and makes future expansion easy. This kind of electrical work ensures you have long term protection against overloading.

Commercial Electrical Switchboard Upgrades

An outdated switchboard in your warehouse or commercial property is a major compliance risk that stops your business from growing. 

Still using old ceramic fuses or dealing with constantly tripping breakers? You risk equipment failure, costly power surges, and electrical fire hazards.

Our experienced electricians handle upgrading commercial switchboards to support your entire operation. We handle:

⚠️ Safety & Compliance

We replace old fuses with modern RCD safety switches and circuit breakers. This ensures your system meets all commercial electrical safety standards and insurance rules.

📈 Capacity for Growth

We often install 3-Phase power systems to provide the robust, balanced capacity your business needs for future expansion. This upgrades your current switchboard to a much more capable system.

⏳ Minimised Downtime

We work efficiently, planning major connection work for nights or weekends to ensure minimal disruption to your business hours.

Why Your Old Ceramic Fuses Fuse Box is a Safety Hazard

If your home has an older ceramic fuse box, it's a huge fire risk and can't handle the safety demands of a modern home.

That original switchboard was put in back when electrical appliances used a lot less power than they do today. The aging wiring can become a serious source of electrical faults and electrical problems.

The Importance of RCD Safety Switches 🚨

You absolutely need RCD safety switches! They cut the power in milliseconds, which prevents lethal electric shocks; a crucial safety feature that old fuse boxes simply lack. This essential protection comes from RCDs and circuit breakers.

Why Modern Circuit Breakers Matter 🎚️

Circuit breakers are essential because they give you instant safety by preventing fires, and they are incredibly simple to reset; just flip a switch, no fussing with old fuses.
