How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Old ceramic fuses, no RCD safety switches, frequent tripping, or a board that is warm or discoloured are all signs. We can inspect it and tell you honestly.
What is an RCD and do I need one?
An RCD is a safety switch that cuts power in a fraction of a second when it detects a fault, protecting you from shock. Modern homes and rentals need them and we can fit them to most boards.
Will you certify the work?
Yes. Switchboard and safety work is done to standard and documented, so you have proof it was carried out properly.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most domestic upgrades are done in a day with only a short planned power-off. We give you a clear time frame in your quote.
