      Vicki Kerr

      Claire F
      The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find {{business:name}}! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend {{business:name}} for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang {{business:name}} 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend {{business:name}}!
      Susie Lorentz
      We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
      Alistair G
      Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
      Connie Wang
      It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
      Norm Krieke
      {{business:name}} were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
      Rebecca
      Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
      Jessica Maher
      Big thanks to Braeden for fixing the electrical issue in our apartment. I was incredibly impressed with Brayden's professionalism, passion for his work and his attention to detail. He also explained the issue to me at every point and made sure I understood what was needed and how to address any issues in future.

      Common Questions Answered

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Brighton? Browse through these frequently asked questions or contact our team directly for personalised advice. We’re here to help you understand if your electrical system needs upgrading and how our services can improve your home’s safety and functionality.

      Several warning signs indicate your switchboard needs attention: frequent circuit breaker tripping, fuses that blow regularly, a buzzing or humming noise from your switchboard, ceramic fuses or rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers, lack of safety switches, or if your home was built before 1990. Other indicators include flickering lights, burning smells near the switchboard, or insufficient capacity for new appliances.

      A comprehensive switchboard upgrade typically involves removing the old switchboard components and installing modern circuit breakers, RCD safety switches, and appropriate circuit protection. We’ll assess your electrical needs, upgrade the main earthing system if required, properly label all circuits, test everything thoroughly, and provide compliance certification. The process ensures your electrical system meets current Australian Standards while providing capacity for your household’s electrical demands.

      Upgrading your switchboard delivers numerous benefits including enhanced electrical safety through modern circuit breakers and safety switches, improved reliability with fewer unexpected outages, increased capacity for additional appliances or renovations, better protection for sensitive electronics, compliance with current electrical standards, potential insurance benefits, and added property value. It also provides peace of mind knowing your electrical system is functioning safely and efficiently.

      Most residential switchboard upgrades can be completed in a single day, typically requiring 4-8 hours depending on complexity and the current condition of your electrical system. Larger homes or properties requiring additional work such as rewiring or three-phase power installation may take longer. We schedule work efficiently to minimise disruption, and temporary power outages during the installation are managed to reduce inconvenience.

      In many cases, yes. Modern energy technologies like solar systems and electric vehicle chargers often require switchboard upgrades to handle the additional electrical load and to incorporate specific protective devices. We’ll assess your current switchboard capacity and configuration to determine if an upgrade is necessary before installing these new systems, ensuring safe operation and compliance with electrical regulations.
