Old Wiring

If the electrical wiring that runs through your home is old, a new switchboard with safety switches and circuit breakers can help protect your home from fire hazards and electrical shocks.

Appliances Not Running at Full Power

When too many appliances draw electricity from one circuit it can cause it to overload, resulting in a loss of power. Appliances that use a lot of power, like air conditioners or ovens, should have their own dedicated circuits.

Frequent Tripped Circuit Breakers

If turning on certain appliances causes your power to go out, it's likely the result of a power overload. A switchboard replacement ensures a stable power supply for your home.

No Safety Switch

In NSW, you are required by law to install safety switches due to the level of protection they provide your home, business, family or staff. A switchboard without this safety feature could also affect an insurance claim if an electrical fire were to occur.

Old or Outdated Switchboard

Australian homes have greater electrical demands than ever before and an electricity panel that uses ceramic fuses (which were frequently used 20–30 years ago) is now considered a fire hazard.

Frequent Tripped Circuit Breakers

If your main circuit breaker or others trip frequently, it may be due to appliance overloading. It could also be a sign of a deeper electrical fault with your switchboard or something else.

Flickering Lights

Inconsistent voltage will cause lights to flicker or dim. This can be caused by a poor connection in your switchboard panel — a serious fire risk that will require switchboard repairs.

WHY UPGRADE OR REPAIR YOUR SWITCHBOARD?

Is your switchboard up to date?

As technology continues to advance, our electricity demands increase and switchboards and their components need to be up to date to cope.

If your switchboard is more than 20 years old, it's time for an inspection by a qualified electrician to ensure it meets modern electricity demands.

How to know if your switchboard needs attention

Some signs your switchboard needs immediate attention include the presence of fuses or colour-coded wiring that's not compliant with current standards. Other indicators include an old or missing box or problems with your electricity supply.

Steps to prepare for a switchboard upgrade or repair

A switchboard upgrade allows for more electrical current to cater to an increased electricity demand by enhancing efficiency, improving safety and ensuring compliance with current laws.

It's best to have your switchboard upgraded before you renovate properties, add power outlets or purchase new appliances, especially things such as air conditioners, hot water systems or ovens.

Locals who do it best

If you're not sure if your switchboard is up to scratch, simply call a Sparkyroo electrician to conduct a switchboard inspection and ensure it meets current Australian standards.

Our friendly technicians are more than happy to discuss the best solutions for your current and future requirements, including things like capacity, voltage and amperage, switchboard location and how to protect it from damage.

Frequently Asked Roof Plumbing Service Questions

What does a switchboard upgrade involve?

Switchboard installations see old fuse boxes and wiring removed and replaced with a new electricity panel. Your electrician will include additional circuits you require right away and any you may need for future upgrades.

How do you tell if your electrical panel has asbestos components?

Many components in switchboard panels, including fuses, switches, circuit breaker cabinets and backing boards, may contain asbestos. This becomes particularly concerning if your switchboard is over 20 years old.

You won't be able to see asbestos simply by looking at the panel, so you should always assume that older switchboards do contain asbestos and have your electrician manage the risks with the appropriate safety measures.

What is the service life of a switchboard?

The lifespan of a switchboard will vary depending on your location in Australia, where in your building and how frequently you perform maintenance.

Regular electrical panel maintenance can help extend the life of your switchboard and improve its performance as your electrician will be able to test for insulation resistance, identify wear and tear, corrosion, loose connections and any other potential hazards.

How do electricians find a fault?

First, your electrical technician will perform a visual inspection of the switchboard and wiring. They then use specialised equipment to test all electrical installations to identify the cause of problems.
