Upgrade your switchboard for a safer, more reliable home

Most homes built before the 1990s are running on boards that weren't designed for modern power loads. Older homes were wired long before air conditioning in every room, EV chargers, solar systems, and a full kitchen of appliances became the norm.

Is your switchboard struggling to keep up? Upgrading brings your home in line with current Australian safety standards. We install modern RCD safety switches to prevent shocks and surge protection to shield your electronics from power spikes.

Signs your switchboard needs upgrading or replacing

There are a few key signs to look out for to know when it's time to upgrade your switchboard:

  • Circuit breakers that trip regularly, or fuses that keep blowing
  • Lights that flicker or dim when appliances kick in
  • A switchboard that feels warm to the touch or has a burning smell
  • No safety switches (RCDs) fitted to your circuits
  • You're adding solar panels, a pool, or an EV charger
  • You still have an older ceramic fuse board

Our switchboard upgrade process

We've streamlined our process for upgrading Adelaide home's switchboards into 5 simple steps:

  1. Assessment: we inspect your existing switchboard and tell you what's needed
  2. Upfront quote: we provide a fixed price before we start, with no hidden costs
  3. Same-day service: most upgrades and switchboard replacements are completed the same day
  4. Safety checks: we test all circuits, confirm RCDs are fitted, and make sure everything meets Australian standards
  5. Sign-off: compliance documentation handed over on completion

 

Not every job needs a full upgrade

While some switchboards may require a full replacement, some do not. Regular electrical switchboard maintenance can extend the life of your panel and catch problems before they get costly. It's a smart move before selling your home, or ahead of Adelaide’s summer months when your system is working overtime.

Some of our frequently asked questions

We understand that choosing the right electrician can come with a lot of questions. Our team of skilled professionals is here to make the process simple and stress-free, providing clear communication, and quality workmanship every step of the way. To help you get started, here are some common questions.


How do I know if I need a switchboard upgrade?

Tripping breakers, flickering lights, a warm switchboard, or missing safety switches are all signs that something's not right. If you've still got an older ceramic fuse board, it almost certainly needs upgrading. Book a same-day assessment, and we'll give you a straight answer.

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost in Adelaide?

It depends on your property and what's required. You'll always get a fixed upfront quote before we start. If cost is a concern, ask about our interest-free payment plans through HUMM.

What is involved in replacing a switchboard?

We remove the old panel, fit a new switchboard with modern circuit breakers and RCD safety switches, reconnect all circuits, and test everything to Australian standards. Most jobs are done within a day, with minimal disruption.

Can you repair an existing switchboard instead of replacing it?

Sometimes, yes. If the issue is isolated (like a faulty breaker or a missing safety switch), a repair might be all that's needed. We'll always recommend what makes sense for your situation, not the most expensive option.

We had power outage on the wet, cold & stormy Wednesday this week. After several attempts to get a reliable emergency electrician out asap I found the Local Tradesman site. They arrived early evening & quickly identified the problem. After further quote they proceeded to replace the full circuit board with safety switches. Impressive effort considering outside work in trying conditions. Great job! Thanks Jordan & Alfredo. Very pleased with the result.
Response from the owner:Thank you, Trevor, for taking the time to leave a review. We appreciate your feedback and look forward to serving you again!
