Switchboard Upgrades
Your switchboard is the heart of your home's electrical system. If it's old, overloaded, or unsafe, it's time for an upgrade.
Full Switchboard Upgrade
Replace old fuse boxes with modern circuit breaker boards. More capacity, better protection, proper labelling.
RCD Installation
Add safety switches to protect your family. Required on all power and lighting circuits in WA.
Surge Protection
Whole-of-home surge protection installed at the switchboard. Protects your electronics from power spikes.
Capacity Upgrades
Adding air con, EV charger, or solar? Your board might need more capacity. I assess and upgrade as needed.
Signs You Need an Upgrade
- Fuses that blow or circuit breakers that trip regularly
- Old ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers
- No safety switches (RCDs) on your board
- Board is full and you need new circuits
- Preparing for solar, EV charger, or major appliances
- Burn marks, buzzing sounds, or warm switchboard
Switchboards in Rockingham
A lot of the original housing stock in Waikiki, Warnbro, and older parts of Rockingham still has switchboards from the 1980s and 90s. These boards are often on ceramic fuses, don't have proper RCDs, and are at capacity.
The newer estates in Baldivis, Secret Harbour, and Golden Bay generally have modern boards, but many are already being pushed to their limits with air conditioning, pool equipment, and now EV chargers.
If you're planning to add solar panels, the electrical prep starts at the switchboard. I make sure your board is ready to accept the inverter connection and has room for the additional circuits.
