Electrical Switchboard Upgrade Services

A switchboard is a panel or assembly of panels that direct electrical current from one source to another. The switches within your switchboard redirect electricity, and the safety switches and fuses protect us from being electrocuted.

Does Your Switchboard Need An Upgrade?

Are you in a need to upgrade your switchboard, and looking for reasons for the same? Here are some reasons why upgrading your switchboard is necessary:

Cope with Changing Power Demands

Outdated switchboards can’t evenly distribute power, often resulting in fires and accidents due to fluctuating power demands. Upgrade your switchboards to modern versions to help distribute power evenly and meet the increasing power needs.

Prevent Electrical Fires

Most house fires occur due to electrical problems, so updating your switchboard is key to preventing such disasters. If your switchboard is old, the fuses may be overcrowded and loose, causing wire faults that could easily lead to an electrical fire.

Handle Flickering Lights

Flickering lights can have many causes, from faulty light bulbs to outdated switchboards. Upgrading your switchboard could help solve the issue.

Save Money

Upgrading to a modern switchboard is a great way to reduce energy consumption and save money on your power bill.

Comply with Electrical Standards

Many older switchboards do not meet the current electrical standards set by law. These standards are essential because they help to prevent fires and other damage to your property by requiring that all lighting and power switches have safety features that shut down the system when it becomes overloaded. 

Get Rid of Panels with Asbestos

Most old switchboards have backing panels made of asbestos, which means electricians can’t drill into the system for repairs because of the dangers of asbestos becoming airborne and possibly entering the lungs. 

Enhance electrical safety

Upgrading to newer, compliant switchboards is a necessary measure to take to meet current Australian safety standards. Outdated switchboards are a safety hazard and do not comply with the latest power norms, which puts everyone at risk. 

Your Fuses are Blowing

If you’ve been having issues with your fuses constantly blowing or melting, it’s time to consider upgrading your switchboard. Upgrading your switchboard can help prevent future issues and keep your home or office safe.

How Much Does it Cost to Upgrade the Switchboard?

The cost of upgrading a switchboard in Sunshine Coast can vary depending on a range of factors, including:

Other factors can also affect the cost, but these are some of the most common ones.

Dangers of an Outdated Switchboard & Safety Measures

Outdated switchboards are not only unsightly, but they can also pose a severe risk to the safety of your home. Older switchboards can put your home and family at risk of electrical fires, a significant concern for homeowners. 

Safety Issues

Older switchboards often have wiring and insulation issues that could result in a fire or other safety hazards. That's why upgrading your old switchboard is essential to prevent any safety issues.

No Residual Current Device (RCD)

As you may know, older switchboards lack RCD or residual current devices. For those who don't know, the residual current device can sense if someone is getting an electrical shock and disconnect the circuit quickly, preventing a severe injury. By law, all modern switchboards and new circuits need to have Residual Current Devices to protect against any safety hazard.

Insurance

Insurance companies are increasingly declining to insure homes and businesses with old switchboards. To prove that your switchboard does meet modern standards, you may need a certificate of compliance and inspection.
