COMPLETE SWITCHBOARD UPGRADES

Clear expectations before work begins

Not all switchboard upgrades are the same

We can also carry out safety switch (RCD) additions and smaller switchboard alterations where a full upgrade isn’t required.

Where a complete upgrade is required, our approach is a more comprehensive replacement, with individual safety switch (RCD) protection for the applicable circuits, a new switchboard panel, main switch, circuit alterations and labelling, standard earthing upgrades where required, testing and electrical safety documentation.

FAQs

Common questions

How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?

Common signs include older switchboards, ceramic fuses, a lack of safety switches, heat damage, nuisance tripping, or plans to add solar, batteries or EV charging.

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

The cost depends on whether you need a complete switchboard upgrade or smaller safety switch (RCD) additions, the number and type of circuits, the existing panel and any earthing or other alterations required. We assess the scope and provide a fixed quotation before work begins. Send a clear photo of your switchboard and your suburb so we can advise what is needed.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most residential upgrades can be completed within a planned site visit. The time depends on the number of circuits, the condition of the existing wiring and any panel or earthing alterations required. We can explain the expected timeframe and power outage when confirming the scope.

Will my power be off?

Yes, power is generally isolated while the upgrade is completed. The expected outage can be explained before work begins.

What is a safety switch (RCD)?

A safety switch, also known as an RCD, is designed to help protect you against electric shock. If your switchboard has little or no safety switch protection, an upgrade may improve the safety of your home's electrical installation.

Can I send photos for an initial assessment?

Yes. A clear photo of your switchboard, along with your suburb and a brief description, is a useful starting point. If we need any additional photos or information, we'll let you know.

Do you service all of Perth?

Perth Switchboards services homes throughout the Perth metropolitan area.

Can you upgrade the switchboard before solar, batteries or EV charging?

Yes. We can assess the existing switchboard and advise whether additional capacity, protection or other work is required.
