Switchboard upgrades: service scope

Assess switchboard faults and the changes you are planning.
Quote for the agreed switchboard, protective devices, circuit work and tests.
Plan supply coordination, site access, power interruptions and the records needed for the job.
Whole-house rewiring, utility work and repairs to hidden faults need separate agreement from the switchboard upgrade.

Switchboard faults, recurring trips and planned upgrades

Adding kitchen appliances to a home with an older switchboard

If you plan to add appliances to a home with an older board, send us the product details and describe any existing concerns. Do not open the board. We check capacity, protection and connection requirements; age or appearance alone does not tell us which upgrade is needed.

Repeated trips or signs of damage

Repeated tripping may come from a circuit or connected appliance rather than the switchboard itself. We investigate the fault before recommending an upgrade. Burning, sparks, smoke or shock require prompt safety action; do not keep resetting the devices.

Switchboard assessment and upgrade quote

We assess the board, protection, circuits and proposed appliances together. An older fuse board and repeated tripping may need different work. We investigate reported faults before confirming an upgrade; adding an appliance does not by itself determine the board or circuit changes needed.

The quote lists the switchboard and devices, circuit work, tests, access and expected power interruptions. We confirm any supply coordination and records for the job, then explain the completed work and further findings after the agreed checks. Hidden faults, utility work and whole-house rewiring are separate from the confirmed upgrade.

Our price guides cover work during regular service hours and within the stated scope. Your written quote lists attendance, fault finding, materials and the agreed work. We confirm emergency repair charges in the quote.

Switchboard repair and upgrade questions

When does an older switchboard need repair or replacement?

We consider the board condition, faults, existing protection and planned electrical work. A qualified assessment is needed before recommending repair or replacement; the age of the board alone is not enough to decide.

Can I get an itemised quote before approving an upgrade?

Yes. The written quote lists the equipment, installation, tests and any supply coordination, along with extra work that needs approval. We confirm these items before you agree to proceed.
