      Vicki Kerr
      {{business:name}} service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
      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. I'm grateful he came to help us today and truly impressed with his workmanship and attitude. Cheers Braeden and the team at {{business:name}}.

      Answers to Common Questions

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Potts Hill? Review these FAQs or contact our team for expert guidance. We're here to help you determine if our dependable electrical services are the right fit for your home or business.

      Upgrading your switchboard provides numerous benefits including enhanced electrical safety with modern circuit breakers and RCDs, increased capacity for additional appliances and power demands, elimination of frequent power outages and nuisance tripping, reduced risk of electrical fires and property damage, and compliance with current Australian Standards. Many Potts Hill homes with older switchboards also benefit from improved energy efficiency and more stable power supply after an upgrade, particularly properties that were built when electrical demands were considerably lower than today.

      Signs that your switchboard needs upgrading include the presence of old ceramic fuses, frequent circuit breaker tripping when using multiple appliances, flickering or dimming lights, burning smells or unusual warmth near the switchboard, visible damage or discoloration to the board, lack of RCD protection for circuits, inadequate capacity for your current electrical needs, and if your home was built several decades ago. If you're planning renovations, installing air conditioning, adding solar panels, or setting up an EV charger, a switchboard assessment is also recommended to confirm adequate capacity.

      The switchboard upgrade process begins with a thorough assessment of your current electrical system and power requirements. We then arrange temporary power disconnection with your distributor, safely remove the old switchboard components, install the new board with appropriate circuit breakers and RCDs, reconnect all circuits with proper labelling for easy identification, and test thoroughly before restoring power. We also arrange any necessary inspections with the electrical authority and provide documentation of the upgrade for your records. Throughout the process, we work efficiently to minimise disruption to your household or business operations.

      Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are mandatory for residential properties in New South Wales under current electrical safety regulations. These devices are required to provide protection on all power and lighting circuits throughout your home. If your switchboard lacks RCD protection, it needs to be upgraded to comply with Australian Standards. Our Potts Hill electricians can assess your current setup and recommend the appropriate safety upgrades to bring your electrical system into compliance while protecting your household from electrical hazards.

      While a switchboard upgrade primarily improves safety and reliability, it can contribute to energy efficiency in several ways. Modern switchboards provide more stable power supply, reducing voltage fluctuations that can cause appliances to operate inefficiently. Additionally, by enabling circuit separation for different areas of your home, you gain better control over your electricity usage and can identify power-hungry appliances more easily. When combined with energy monitoring systems or smart home integration, an upgraded switchboard can provide valuable insights that help you make informed decisions about your energy consumption patterns.
