Safety starts at the board.

switchboards & mains upgrades

Your switchboard is the safety heart of your electrical system and a lot of older Melbourne homes are still running on outdated boards that don't meet today's safety standards. We upgrade switchboards to modern, safety-switch protected systems, fix ageing or overloaded boards, and handle mains upgrades for homes and businesses that need more capacity. If your switchboard still has ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or keeps tripping, it's worth a look.

common questions

A few common questions we get asked. If yours isn't here, just give us a call and we'll be happy to talk you through it.

Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, frequent trips, or a board over 25 years old are all good signs it’s time for an assessment.

Safety switches are mandatory on power and lighting circuits in Victoria. If your board doesn’t have them, an upgrade brings you into compliance.

Most residential upgrades are completed in a day, with a brief, planned power outage during the work.

Yes, for part of the day while the old board is disconnected and the new one installed. We’ll let you know the expected timeframe upfront.

An outdated switchboard can sometimes be flagged by insurers. An upgrade, with a Certificate of Electrical Safety, gives you documented proof your system meets current standards.

We turn up when we say we will, explain things clearly, and treat your home or business with respect. This means no mess, no jargon, no half-finished jobs. Beyond that, we’re just your local licensed electricians doing the job properly, every time.

No. You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts, and that’s what you’ll pay, no surprise add-ons on the invoice.

Yes, all our work is completed to Australian electrical safety standards, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued where required. If something’s not right, we’ll come back and sort it out for you.
