Frequently asked questions
Is every old switchboard automatically illegal?
Not every old switchboard is automatically illegal, but many older boards do not meet current safety expectations, especially if they still use ceramic fuses or lack safety switches. A professional assessment can confirm whether an upgrade is recommended.
How long does a typical switchboard upgrade take?
Timing depends on the condition of the existing board, the number of circuits and the work required. We inspect the board first and explain the expected timing before work begins.
Will I be without power during the upgrade?
Yes, there will be a period where power needs to be turned off so the work can be done safely. We plan this with you in advance and aim to keep the interruption as short as possible.
