Know the warning signs
Your switchboard deservesa closer look.
Everyday electrical problems can have several causes. An inspection helps you understand whether the issue is in an appliance, a circuit or the switchboard itself.
Tripping that keeps returning
A safety switch that repeatedly disconnects power may be responding to an underlying fault. Have the cause checked rather than continuing to reset it.
An older fuse box
Older boards may lack the protection or circuit space your property needs today. Ask about options for a modern replacement.
Heat, damage or burning smells
These signs need prompt professional attention. Keep clear of damaged equipment and call for help before using affected circuits.
Power for the way you live

Call (03) 9999 8550When should I consider a switchboard upgrade?+
An old fuse box, repeated circuit trips, visible damage or a lack of safety switch protection are reasons to arrange an inspection. An electrician can also assess your board before a renovation or the addition of equipment that needs a dedicated circuit.
Is a safety switch the same as a circuit breaker?+
They provide different protection. A safety switch detects current leaking from a circuit and disconnects the supply to help reduce electric shock risk. A circuit breaker responds to overloads and short circuits. Some devices combine both functions.
Does repeated tripping mean I need a new switchboard?+
Not necessarily. A faulty appliance, moisture or damaged wiring can also cause tripping. Finding the cause first helps determine whether you need an appliance repair, a circuit repair, a safety switch replacement or a broader upgrade.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?+
The price depends on the condition of the existing board, the number of circuits, the protection required and any related wiring work. Call with your suburb and a description of the issue to discuss an assessment and quote.
Will the power need to be turned off?+
Switchboard work generally requires an interruption to the electricity supply. The expected downtime and any access requirements can be discussed before work is scheduled.
What should I do if I notice heat or a burning smell?+
Keep clear of the switchboard and arrange urgent help from an electrician. Do not remove covers, touch damaged equipment or repeatedly reset a switch that trips. If there is fire or an immediate danger, call 000.
