Switchboard Upgrades

Upgrade Your Switchboard for Safety, Efficiency, and Compliance

Your switchboard is the heart of your property’s electrical system. It distributes power safely and efficiently to appliances, lighting, and devices. However, older switchboards are often not equipped to handle the electrical load of modern homes and businesses, leading to frequent power trips, overheating, or even safety hazards.

Outdated systems, particularly those with ceramic fuses or insufficient safety switches, can increase the risk of electrical fires and faults. Upgrading to a modern switchboard ensures compliance with Australian safety regulations, providing peace of mind and improved energy efficiency.

At Allround Electrical, we deliver switchboard upgrades that make your property safer, more reliable, and better suited to modern power demands.

Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

Not sure if your switchboard is up to the job? Look out for these common warning signs:

  • Frequent Power Outages or Tripped Circuits: If your switchboard frequently cuts out, it’s likely struggling to manage the electrical load.
  • Flickering Lights or Buzzing Noises: These issues often signal wiring problems or overworked circuits.
  • Ceramic Fuses or Outdated Fuse Boxes: Older systems are inefficient and don’t offer the protection of modern circuit breakers and safety switches.
  • Overloaded Circuits Caused by Modern Appliances: Increased power demands from air conditioning units, electric ovens, and chargers can overwhelm old systems.
  • Burning Smells or Visible Signs of Overheating: These are serious safety risks that require immediate attention.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, a switchboard upgrade is essential to safeguard your home or business.

Protect Your Family and Property with Safety Switches

Safety switches, also known as Residual Current Devices (RCDs), are critical components of a modern electrical system. These devices instantly cut off power during electrical faults, preventing electric shocks, fires, and injuries.

During a switchboard upgrade, we install safety switches to ensure compliance with Australian safety standards and provide you with an added layer of protection. Every home and business should have RCDs installed to safeguard occupants and property.
