You can never put a price on safety and peace of mind. Safety switches are a key importance in any electrical installation and are required to be installed on every circuit. A Safety switch acts as a quick cut off switch to the electrical supply if a fault is detected to minimise the risk of fires and electric shocks.
These are one of the most crucial reasons a switchboard should be upgraded to give reassurance and a peace of mind that your and your home or business are protected.
Your home or business’s switchboard is crucial for safety. How do you know if it’s in excellent condition or if it needs an upgrade? We can perform an extensive safety inspection to determine its condition and safety risk. Some of the things our electricians will look for include:
Short-circuiting appliances may indicate that the switchboard is not capable of handling your home or business establishment’s power load. Unless upgraded, it could lead to frequent power outages or circuit tripping.
Rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers in the switchboard. These contain copper fuse wires that either melt or blow when the system’s overloaded, which is another serious safety hazard. Loose wires inside fuse holders that can result in blown fuse wires, melted cables or worse, a fuse board fire.

An overcrowded switchboard is an indication that it’s no longer capable of accommodating future additions including air conditioning or new appliances ie ovens/cooktops. An upgrade is necessary if you’ve recently installed items like these with an already overcrowded board.

When it becomes clear that your switchboard requires upgrading, our experienced and licensed electrician can do it safely and efficiently for you. We have the right tools, equipment, and know-how to get the job done right.
