Our friendly team is ready to answer your questions and provide advice.
Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?
Your switchboard is the heart of your electrical system. Older boards with ceramic fuses or limited safety switch protection were never designed for today’s high power loads, like ducted air conditioning, EV chargers, induction cooktops, or large solar systems.
A modern switchboard upgrade improves safety, reduces the risk of electrical faults and fire, and brings your installation in line with current standards. It can also provide extra capacity for new circuits, future renovations, or additional appliances. Our team will inspect your existing switchboard, identify any safety or compliance issues, and design an upgrade that gives you peace of mind for years to come.
Certified Electricians You Can Rely On
Switchboard upgrades must be carried out by licensed electricians who understand current wiring rules, fault protection, and network requirements. At Level Electrical + Solar, every switchboard upgrade is completed by our own in-house team with extensive experience in mains, metering, and board replacements.
With over 20 years in the industry and certifications from Master Electricians, NETCC, and the Clean Energy Council, we know what’s required to make your installation safe, neat, and compliant. From simple domestic boards through to more complex commercial switchboards, we focus on quality workmanship, clear labelling, and tidy finishes so you know exactly what protects each circuit in your property.

All Your Common Switchboard Upgrade Questions Answered
Your switchboard distributes power from the incoming supply to the various circuits around your home or business, and provides protection against overloads and faults. It houses your fuses, circuit breakers, and safety switches. A well-designed, compliant switchboard greatly reduces the risk of electrical shock and fire, and is essential for keeping your property and family safe.
Common signs you may need a switchboard upgrade include ceramic fuses, a lack of safety switches (RCDs), burnt or damaged components, frequent tripping, buzzing or crackling noises, or visible signs of overheating. If you’re adding high-demand appliances, renovating, or your switchboard looks old or overcrowded, it’s a good time to have it assessed by a licensed electrician.
A typical switchboard upgrade includes isolating the power, removing outdated fuses or breakers, installing a new enclosure if required, fitting modern circuit breakers and safety switches, tidying and labelling wiring, and completing all testing and compliance checks. Where necessary, we will also coordinate any metering changes with your energy retailer or distributor.
The cost of a switchboard upgrade depends on the condition and size of your existing board, how many circuits you have, whether the enclosure needs replacing, and any additional work required on your mains or earthing system. After inspecting your site, we’ll provide a clear, fixed-price quote so you know exactly what’s included before we begin.
Yes. For safety, power must be turned off while our electricians are working on your switchboard. We’ll let you know in advance how long the power is expected to be off, schedule the upgrade at a suitable time, and restore power as soon as the new switchboard has been tested and is safe to energise.
