Electrical and Switchboard Upgrades
Modern electric homes ask more of old switchboards. Our licensed electricians upgrade boards, add circuits and get your home ready for solar, a battery, an EV charger or a heat pump, safely and to code.
When You Need an Upgrade
Common signs are an old ceramic-fuse or crowded board, frequent tripping, no spare circuits, or a plan to add solar, a battery, an EV charger or a heat pump. A site check tells you what is required, and sometimes the answer is that nothing needs to change.
We would rather tell you that than sell an upgrade you do not need.
| Job | When it is needed |
|---|---|
| Switchboard replacement | Old fuse boards, damaged boards or no room to add circuits |
| New circuits | A dedicated circuit for an EV charger, heat pump or air conditioner |
| Safety switches | Protection for people and appliances on every circuit |
| Solar and battery connection | Isolators, metering and the connection point for a new system |
| Load management | Keeping the whole home inside its supply limit |
What We Do
These jobs support the systems we install: solar and battery storage, EV chargers, heat pumps and air conditioning.
Backup Wiring: What Is Realistic
If you want a battery to power some circuits in a blackout, the switchboard has to be arranged for it. We move the circuits you most want kept on, such as the fridge, lights, internet and a few power points, onto a backup board.
How much can run at once depends on the battery's inverter output, and how long it runs depends on battery capacity. We explain the limits for your home before you buy. Ask us about this at the assessment, or read the backup section on the solar and battery page.
Licensed and Compliant
All work is done by licensed electricians to Australian standards, with a certificate of compliance on completion. You can check any NSW contractor's licence through NSW Fair Trading, and ask us for ours: licence 484262C.
If you ever have a problem with work done, you have rights under the Australian Consumer Law. The ACCC explains them in plain language.
