Switchboards
Switchboard upgrades and safety switches
Older boards with rewireable fuses or no safety switches are the most common thing we are asked to bring up to standard. We assess, explain and upgrade.

What we do
Work we take care of
Full switchboard upgrades
Replacing ageing boards with a modern enclosure, protection and clear labelling.
Safety switches and RCBOs
RCD protection added to final subcircuits so faults trip only the affected circuit.
Ceramic fuse replacement
Old rewireable fuses replaced with circuit breakers.
Additional circuits
New circuits for ovens, hot water, EV charger supplies, sauna heaters and workshops.
Single phase to three phase upgrades
Increase your supply capacity to run larger loads, EV chargers, sauna heaters and future battery systems. Essential where a single-phase service is at its limit.
Meter panel work
Tidying and rebuilding meter panels, including coordination with your retailer where required.
Board inspections
Inspection and thermal imaging to identify hot joints and overloaded circuits.
Signs your board may need attention
A switchboard upgrade is usually about protection, not appearance. If the board still relies on rewireable fuses, has no safety switches, or trips repeatedly, it is worth having assessed.
We inspect the existing board first and quote what is actually required rather than defaulting to a full replacement.
For households adding an EV charger, sauna, or battery, a single-phase to three-phase upgrade can be the cleanest way to create enough capacity. It also opens the door to dynamic power trading between your EV, battery and the grid.
- Ceramic or rewireable fuses still in use
- No safety switch protection on power and lighting circuits
- Repeated tripping, heat marks or a burning smell
- No spare capacity for new appliances, an EV charger or a sauna
- Planning to add an EV charger, house battery or sauna and the single-phase supply is already near its limit
- Circuits unlabelled or labelled incorrectly
