Safer circuits
Modern RCBO protection helps reduce risk from electrical faults on individual circuits.
Switchboard upgrades Newcastle
Switchboard upgrades for Newcastle homes and businesses.
We inspect and upgrade ageing switchboards with modern safety switches, clear labelling and compliant protection for homes and businesses across Newcastle.
Licensed local electricians
Protect today’s property and make room for tomorrow’s loads.
Older fuse boards often lack individual safety-switch protection and spare capacity. A properly planned upgrade improves protection and prepares the property for additions such as EV charging, solar, induction cooking and air conditioning.
Ready for upgrades
We assess capacity for future loads such as air conditioning, solar, induction and EV charging.
Clear handover
Circuits are tested and labelled so you know what protects each part of the property.

Common questions
Helpful answers before you book.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?+
Common signs include ceramic fuses, missing safety switches, damaged equipment, frequent tripping, heat marks, poor labelling or no room for new circuits. An inspection confirms what is actually required.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?+
Many residential upgrades are completed within a day, although mains work, asbestos panels, complex faults or a larger number of circuits can extend the work. Your power will be off during part of the upgrade.
Do you install surge protection?+
Yes. Surge protection can be included in a switchboard upgrade or assessed for a suitable existing board.
Will I receive compliance paperwork?+
Yes. The completed work is tested, labelled and the applicable NSW Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work is provided.
Have your switchboard assessed.
Tell us your suburb, any faults and planned additions such as EV charging or induction cooking. A photo of the closed switchboard can help us prepare.
