Why Your Property Needs A Switchboard Upgrade

 

Over time, a business’s or household’s power consumption will increase and exceed its previous capacity. As you simply require more power, it’s important to be vigilant and follow Australia’s safety standard when it comes to your electricity.
With the advancing developments and improvements across electrical safety, integrity, and protection, both residential and commercial properties require switchboard upgrades to maintain their safety. This is crucial to the integrity of a building’s wiring: any continuous electricity being generated, as well as whenever you acquire major electrical appliances and safety switches.
A switchboard upgrade is a cost-effective investment that will protect your home or business in the long run. It’s especially important if your current switchboard is aged or if you’re still using outdated ceramic fuses, which are neither safe nor compliant with Australian Standards.

Signs You Should Be Investing In A Switchboard Upgrade

The following are some signs you need to invest in a switchboard upgrade immediately:

Do your fuses frequently blow? Or do your circuit breakers trip when you’re using multiple appliances?

 

Are your lights flickering for no reason?

 

Are there buzzing noises or other strange sounds coming from your switchboard panels?

l

Are you still using ceramic style fuses?

If your answer to any of the above questions is yes, then you urgently need a switchboard upgrade at your property. Call Insight Electrical to your address to get your electrical switchboard installation done as soon as possible.

Upgrading Circuit Breakers And Safety Switches

Circuit breakers are designed to protect your home from electrical fires caused by overloaded circuits or short circuits, while safety switches ensure that power is cut off within milliseconds if a fault is detected. By upgrading your circuit breakers and safety switches, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your home and family are protected. Plus, you’ll avoid potential hazards and costly repairs down the road. So, take the first step and contact a licensed electrician to get started on upgrading your electrical system today.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a switchboard upgrade?

Your switchboard upgrade will include replacing all ceramic fuses with contemporary, safe circuit breakers and RCDs. This is done in an enclosure, with the rewiring/tidying of the wires behind your panel. This is followed by testing the entire home’s electrical system.

How long does it take to complete a switchboard upgrade?

It depends on the size of your property and your switchboard. Typically, it takes 2-4 hours to complete an upgrade.

How much is a switchboard upgrade?

The cost of a switchboard upgrade can vary depending on the number of circuits that are being upgraded, the type of installation and whether any additional services are needed. A typical installation cost will be approximately $800-$1200.

Why do I need a switchboard upgrade?

You will need a switchboard upgrade if your current switchboard is old, outdated and no longer meets your needs. It may be that it is not capable of handling modern power demands or there may be a fault with the wiring itself. If you are experiencing frequent power outages or power bill spikes, you might want to consider a switchboard upgrade.

Is it worth it to upgrade the electrical panel?

In most cases, yes. If you have a home built before 1990 or so, your electrical system may be outdated and inefficient. Upgrading your panel will allow for more efficient use of energy and increase its lifespan by decades. It’s also worth noting that panels installed incorrectly from the start can lead to additional problems with wiring and safety concerns in your home. Upgrading saves money over time because you won’t have to replace the system again or pay for repairs as often.

Is it easy to upgrade electrical panels?

No, it’s not easy. Because upgrading an electrical panel is a difficult project, labour accounts for a significant portion of the cost. However, because the panel is the backbone of your entire house’s electrical system, this is not a place where you want to cut corners.
