Signs your switchboard needs work
Power trips when two things run
Kettle and dryer on together, and the board trips. We split the load across new circuits.
Rusty or cracked meter box
Broken covers and exposed live parts are dangerous. A meter box upgrade makes it safe again.
Switchboard giving you trouble?
Tell us what is going on. We ring you back, usually the same day.
What a switchboard upgrade in Newcastle includes
Every circuit traced and labelled

A safety switch on every circuit
We fit RCBOs: a safety switch and circuit breaker in one. One fault no longer blacks out the house.

How do I know if I need a switchboard upgrade?
If you have ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or power that trips often, you most likely do. Send us a photo of your board and we will tell you.
How much does a switchboard replacement cost?
It depends on the size of the board and how many circuits it has. We give a free estimate from photos, then a fixed price in writing before we start.
Can you upgrade my meter box too?
Yes. We replace the meter board, and we arrange the network connection work, such as the service connection and meter change, through an accredited ASP (Accredited Service Provider).
How long will my power be off?
We agree the shutdown time with you before we start. If something must stay on, like a fridge or fish tank, we plan around it.
What do I get when it is finished?
A tested, labelled board, a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) and a lifetime warranty on our workmanship.
