Switchboard Upgrades
Many older North Shore homes have old outdated switchboards. A switchboard upgrade is often recommended before installing an EV charger, heat pump or undertaking major renovations.
-
Modern switchboards include RCD's that quickly cut power if they detect an electric shock.
-
Ceramic fuses and outdated switchboards can be unreliable, harder to rest and may not meet electrical safety standards.
-
Additions to your home such as EV chargers, heat pumps, induction cooktops, spas and home offices all require more electrical capacity than older switchboards can provide.
Signs you may need a switchboard upgrade
-
You still have ceramic fuses.
-
Lights flicker or circuit breakers trip regularly.
-
You notice burning smells or heat around the switchboard.
-
You're renovating or adding high-powered appliances.

Your switchboard is full with no room for additional circuits.
