Switchboard Upgrade and Compliance Services

Enhance the safety and efficiency of your property’s electrical system with ElectriWizard’s professional switchboard upgrade services in Sydney. Our team of licensed electricians modernises your switchboard to meet Australian safety standards and prevent electrical hazards.

Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Protection Against Electrical Shocks and Fires

Modern switchboards are essential for managing electricity safely, reducing risks associated with electrical fires and shocks. An outdated switchboard can create dangerous situations, especially when people use multiple appliances. Updated switchboards and safety switches protect your home or business and ensure you meet all required electrical safety standards.

Compliance and Peace of Mind

Switchboards are central to your property's power supply. Each circuit in the upgraded switchboard has its own Residual Current Circuit Breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO). This is done to meet NSW safety standards and help avoid an electrical defect notice. This provides localised protection, minimising the risk of electrical shock and fire while adhering to the latest compliance standards.

Efficient Energy Management and Cost Savings

New switchboards help manage energy efficiently, lowering your power bills and reducing unnecessary consumption. Older switchboards often cannot handle modern electricity demands, leading to potential overloads of electrical circuits. An upgrade optimises your energy distribution, allowing for better energy management while enhancing the longevity of your electrical wiring and overall system.

Common Issues with Older Switchboards

Outdated Circuit Protection

Older switchboards that use ceramic fuses are less sensitive to faults, making them a poor choice in today’s environment. Unlike RCBOs, ceramic fuses lack earth leakage protection, a critical safeguard against electrical shock and fires. ElectriWizard replaces these with RCD safety switches and modern circuit breakers for compliance and safety, ensuring reliable protection.

Insufficient Circuit Breakers

Switchboards with circuit breakers on sub-circuits without individual RCBO protection fall short of current safety standards. Circuit breakers alone cannot detect all faults, risking potential fires or overheating. Our professional electricians upgrade these systems by installing dedicated RCBOs to meet compliance standards and safeguard each circuit.

Asbestos Risks

Many older switchboards contain asbestos panels, which present health risks if disturbed. ElectriWizard’s certified team carefully handles any asbestos in your switchboard. They ensure it is safely replaced and disposed of according to safety standards.
