Switchboard Upgrade Costs That Are Affordable

Switchboard Upgrades

As with any part of your home, sometimes Electrical boards require a renovation or upgrade. This is the central part of your home or office where the board distributes power from the electricity mains and through the varying circuits that power things like lights, appliances and air conditioning. It's often neglected yet so important to the safety of your home and business. It's an easy check for us while we're onsite assisting with other services, and if there are going to be switchboard upgrade costs, we'll discuss your best options, so you're 100% informed to make the right decision.

Safety First

Power boards that are overloaded or running hot can be a fire danger, so it’s best we always give them a quick review. When we are onsite for either electrical work or the installation of new equipment, we will always check your board and let you know if it’s time for an upgrade or if there are components or materials which are not quite right and a potential risk. We need to assess your circuit before determining your upgrade costs, but typical switch board upgrade costs start from $600.

Need To Know's About Air Conditioning Installation

Electrical boards are sometimes called a fuse box, metre box, electrical box, breaker box or switch board.

The price of a new switchboard is dependent on its size and capacity. You can expect to pay between $700 to $1500 for the entire upgrade including installation.

If fuses or circuit breakers continually trip, this indicates a fault in the home and a power board upgrade could be required.

If you're considering installing a grid-connected solar power system you will need a compatible board with space for circuit breakers for solar.

Old or outdated switchboards are a fire hazard. For any home older than 10 years old, you should have your switchboard checked annually by a suitably qualified electrician to ensure safety.

A board upgrade involves replacing any ceramic fuses for modern, safe circuit breakers and RCDs. This gives you a tidy and safe box along with tidying of the cables behind your panel.
