Frequently Asked Questions
When should a switchboard be upgraded?
An upgrade is worth considering when the board is old, damaged, overcrowded, lacks modern safety switches or cannot support your current electrical demand. We assess the condition and recommend the right work.
Will an upgrade prepare my home for an EV charger?
Yes. We can assess capacity, protection and available space so the upgraded switchboard is prepared for a dedicated EV charger circuit and future electrical needs.
What safety improvements can an upgrade provide?
Upgrades can add modern safety switches, improve fault protection, replace damaged or obsolete parts, reduce overcrowding and provide clearer circuit labelling and testing.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Timing depends on the board, the number of circuits and the work required. After inspecting the site, we explain the scope, expected interruption and a practical installation plan.
Can you upgrade a switchboard in an older North Shore home?
Yes. We work carefully in older North Shore homes, assess the existing wiring and board, and plan the upgrade to improve safety while respecting the property and minimising disruption.
