Professional Switchboard Installation in Adelaide
A switchboard installation is required whenever you are building a new home, constructing an addition, converting a shed or garage, or replacing a board that is damaged beyond repair. The switchboard is the central distribution point for all your electrical circuits. It holds your circuit breakers, safety switches, surge protection and metering equipment. Getting it right from the start means every circuit in your home is properly protected, clearly labelled and easy to maintain for years to come.
Our electricians install switchboards that comply with AS/NZS 3000 and SA Power Networks requirements. We size the board to suit your home's electrical load, including any planned additions like air conditioning, EV chargers or pool equipment. Every installation includes quality circuit breakers, RCD safety switches on all required circuits, clear circuit labelling, and full testing before handover. Our vans carry a complete range of switchboard components, so we rarely need to reschedule for parts.
For new builds in Adelaide, the switchboard location is usually determined during the design phase. We work with your builder to position the board where it is accessible for maintenance but out of the way for day-to-day living. For granny flats and additions, we assess whether the existing main switchboard has enough capacity or whether a separate sub-board is the better option. Every installation is inspected and signed off to meet South Australian regulatory requirements.

FAQs
Switchboard Installation Questions
Common questions about switchboard installation in Adelaide.
What is involved in a new switchboard installation?
A new switchboard installation includes mounting the enclosure, running the main supply cable from the meter, installing circuit breakers and safety switches for every circuit, connecting all wiring, labelling each circuit and performing a full safety test. We also coordinate with SA Power Networks if a new connection or meter upgrade is required. The entire process is carried out to current Australian wiring standards.
Do I need a separate switchboard for a granny flat?
It depends on the setup. If the granny flat is on the same title as the main house, a sub-board fed from the main switchboard is usually sufficient. If it is a separate title or has its own meter, a standalone switchboard with its own connection is required. We assess the situation during the quoting visit and advise on the best approach for your property.
How many circuits does a new home need?
A typical new Adelaide home requires between 12 and 20 circuits, covering lighting, general power, kitchen appliances, air conditioning, hot water, oven, cooktop and outdoor areas. Larger homes with multiple living zones, pools or workshops may need more. We design the switchboard layout during the quoting stage so every area of the home has adequate, properly protected power.
Can you install a switchboard for a shed or workshop?
Yes, we regularly install sub-boards in sheds, workshops and garages across Adelaide. This gives you dedicated circuits with their own circuit breakers and safety switches, separate from the house. We run the supply cable from the main board, install the sub-board, and fit all the circuits you need for lighting, power tools and any other equipment.
What brands of switchboard do you use?
We use quality Australian-standard switchboard enclosures and components from reputable manufacturers. The specific brand depends on the job requirements, but we always use gear that meets AS/NZS 3000 and carries the appropriate certifications. We never cut corners on switchboard components because they protect every circuit in your home.
How long does a switchboard installation take?
A straightforward new switchboard installation typically takes 6 to 10 hours, depending on the number of circuits and the complexity of the wiring. For new builds, the work is usually done in stages alongside the builder's schedule. For additions and granny flats, we aim to complete the installation in a single day where possible.
Do you provide free quotes for switchboard installation?
Yes, every quote is free and comes with no obligation. We visit the property, assess the electrical requirements, discuss your needs and provide a detailed written quote. For new builds, we can work from the electrical plans provided by your builder or designer.
