Switchboard Upgrade Service

Here at O’Brien Electrical and Plumbing, we offer a switchboard upgrading service to ensure the safety of your home or business. Contact us today to learn more about what our switchboard upgrade service involves and why you might need to utilise our professional team of electricians.

What is a switchboard?

Firstly, we should explain what a switchboard is. It is the centre of all of your home’s electrical wiring. It works to direct the electricity around your home from the mains supply of electricity.

A switchboard upgrade is a service provided by professional electricians, like our expert team at O’Brien Electrical and Plumbing, and involves replacing ceramic fuses with modern circuit breakers and RCDs (residual current devices) that are a lot safer for your switchboard.

There are some key signs that indicate you may need our switchboard upgrading services. Here is a list of some of the signs to be aware of:

– Continuously tripping circuits
– Flickering lights
– Consistent fuse blowing
– Electric shocks or sparks when you plug something into a socket or the mains
– Crowded/complicated wiring (this means that the wiring is too overcrowded on your switchboard)

What is the process of having a switchboard upgraded?

Our upgrading service involves the removal and replacement of all of your switchboard’s existing ceramic fuses that are now considered outdated. The existing ceramic fuses will be replaced with modern, safety-improved circuit breakers and RCDs to increase the safety and efficiency of your home’s electrical switchboard.

The licensed electrician performing your switchboard upgrade will ensure that your wiring is neatly tidied away amongst your switchboard behind the panel to prevent any overcrowded wire issues and to make problems easier to deal with if there are ever any future issues with your switchboard. We will then test your home’s switchboard after the installation to ensure that the upgrade has been successful.

In line with the Australian Electrical Standards, your switchboard upgrade will also include the removal of asbestos panels, the installation of new service fuses and modern mains cables as well as the addition of a smart meter for measuring electricity. These additions have been outlined by the Australian Electrical Standards to purposefully increase the safety and efficiency of the electricity throughout your home.

The after-hours plumbing service on Friday 3rd of July provided by Lachlan was excellent. His work provided a solution to the problem and allowed time for a more permanent solution to be undertaken.

Excellent service. I have had them look at and fix my roof a number of times. They are efficient, punctual and professional. The recent experience was to locate and fix where my roof might be leaking in various places. My roof is high and vast and the task challenging. They quoted well and returned several times to further investigate and fix, without extra cost. They answered emails and phone calls on Sunday. David, In particular, was very helpful and accomodating. Highly recommend.

10/10 would recommend. Obie and Anthony attended and did a great job with installing my new air conditioner. Both very kind and professional. Scott the electrical manager helped answer all of my questions and the receptionist girls were lovely on the phone and very helpful.
I will definitely be getting O’Brien out again.
