Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Switchboards, also known as fuse boxes or electrical panels, are the central hub of your property’s electrical system. They distribute power to your lights, appliances, and devices, so it’s vital that they function properly. Older switchboards often contain outdated fuses and lack the safety features of modern systems, making them a potential hazard.

Here are a few key reasons why you should consider upgrading your switchboard:

Safety: Modern switchboards come equipped with safety switches (RCDs) that protect against electrical faults. If your current switchboard doesn’t have these protective devices, upgrading can significantly reduce the risk of electrical fires, shocks, or overloads.
Increased Electrical Demand: As homes and businesses incorporate more devices, appliances, and high-energy systems like air conditioning, the demand on your switchboard increases. Upgrading ensures your system can handle this demand without overloading or causing interruptions.
Compliance: Electrical standards evolve over time, and many older properties may not meet current safety regulations. Upgrading your switchboard helps bring your property up to code, ensuring compliance with the latest standards and reducing the risk of electrical faults.

Future-Proofing: Whether you’re planning a renovation, adding solar power, or installing new appliances, upgrading your switchboard provides the capacity to accommodate future electrical needs without issue.

When Should You Upgrade Your Switchboard?

If you experience frequent power outages, flickering lights, or notice that your fuses are regularly blowing, it could indicate that your switchboard is outdated or overloaded. Homes and businesses with switchboards that are more than 20 years old should also consider upgrading, as these older systems may not provide adequate protection or support for modern electrical loads.

At O’Brien Electrical & Air Conditioning Forster, we offer thorough assessments to determine whether your switchboard requires an upgrade. Our expert electricians will evaluate your current system, identify any risks or inefficiencies, and recommend the best solution to enhance the safety and performance of your electrical network.
