FAQs

  • How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?

    Common signs include frequent tripping, flickering lights, buzzing sounds or the presence of ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. Properties over 20 years old often have switchboards that can’t handle the electrical demands of newer appliances and technology. An electrician can inspect your system, identify safety risks and confirm if an upgrade is needed to meet current standards and improve reliability. 

  • Is it dangerous to keep using an old switchboard?

    Yes. Older switchboards may lack essential safety switches, increasing the risk of electrical shocks, short circuits and fires. They also struggle to manage modern power loads, which can cause wires to overheat or fuses to blow. Upgrading to a modern switchboard reduces these risks and ensures your electrical system complies with safety regulations. 

  • How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

    Most residential switchboard upgrades in Wollongong can be completed within a few hours, depending on the condition of your existing setup. The process involves disconnecting power, removing old components and installing new breakers and safety switches. Once finished, the electrician performs testing to confirm everything operates correctly before reconnecting power.
