FAQs
Switchboard Upgrades Questions
Common questions Adelaide homeowners ask about switchboard upgrades.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Common signs include ceramic rewirable fuses instead of modern circuit breakers, a wooden or tin backing board, no safety switches (RCDs) fitted, regular tripping when you run multiple appliances, or burn marks and a buzzing sound near the board. If your Adelaide home was built before the 1990s and the switchboard has never been touched, it almost certainly needs upgrading to meet current standards.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most residential switchboard upgrades take between 4 and 8 hours, depending on the condition of the existing wiring and the number of circuits involved. A straightforward swap from ceramic fuses to a modern board is usually done in a single visit. More complex jobs involving rewiring or additional circuits may take a full day. We always give you a clear timeframe during the quoting visit.
Will I lose power during the switchboard upgrade?
Yes, the power to your home will need to be switched off while we replace the board. For a standard upgrade this is typically 4 to 6 hours. We schedule the work at a time that suits you and let you know in advance so you can plan around it. Once the new board is installed, we test every circuit and restore full power before we leave.
Is a switchboard upgrade required before installing solar panels or an EV charger?
In many cases, yes. Solar inverters and EV chargers draw significant current and require dedicated circuits with appropriate protection. If your existing switchboard is full, outdated, or lacks safety switches, it will need to be upgraded before the new equipment can be safely connected. We assess this as part of every quote.
Do you provide free quotes for switchboard upgrades?
Yes, every quote is free and comes with no obligation. We visit your home, inspect the existing switchboard, assess your electrical needs and provide a clear written quote. You will know exactly what is involved before any work begins.
