The Risks of an Outdated Switchboard

Electrical Fire Risks

Old or overloaded switchboards can overheat from loose connections or worn components. We check for warning signs like heat damage, unsafe wiring, and overloaded circuits.

Missing or faulty safety switches (RCDs) can increase shock risk. We check whether your switchboard has the correct protection and whether it’s functioning properly.

Some issues aren’t obvious until they cause a failure. We look for signs of deterioration, unsafe connections, and non-compliant setups that can become dangerous over time.

Modern homes often add more load (heat pumps, air-con, EV chargers). We assess whether your switchboard can handle current and future demand safely.

What’s included in the FREE safety check

RCD & Circuit Protection Check

We check whether your switchboard has proper RCD (safety switch) protection and the correct circuit breakers to help reduce the risk of electric shock and electrical fires.

We look for warning signs like overheating, scorching, loose connections, corrosion, or other issues that can lead to faults or fire risk.

We check the overall condition of the board and make sure circuits are clearly identified (so you know what controls what).

We assess whether your switchboard has the capacity and protection needed for modern loads like heat pumps, air-conditioning, and EV chargers.

We explain what we found in plain English, show you any issues, and answer your questions so you can make a confident decision.

If anything needs upgrading, we’ll provide a clear fixed quote before any work starts, and there’s no obligation to proceed.

Deegan did an outstanding job disconnecting our old heater. He was not only incredibly efficient but also very friendly and professional throughout the entire process. His expertise was evident from start to finish, and we couldn’t be more pleased with his work. Highly recommend Deegan for anyone in need of exceptional service!

The whole experience was fantastic, with a great team of people arriving, on time, to complete a long list of items around my home. Everyone was polite & ensured that things were as I wanted, with ongoing confirmation regarding anything that needed clarification. Everything was left clean & tidy, with new appliances all checked & demonstrated. I highly recommend using Elite Trades Australia & will happily engage them if I have future requirements.

Tim and Rami replaced our old hot water system with Emerald All-In-One Heat Pump Heater on 16/9/2024. They're very professional and polite. Did great job installing, took away old heater and cleaned all rubbish away. Gave me detailed information about operation of the system. All was done quickly with smiles and everything is working well.

Alex and Arian replaced my old heat pump with a new system in less than two hours while the wind speed was 70km/h and they didn’t complain. They took all the rubbish. The job was completed with a neat and clean finish. They were very professional and well mannered and I was asked how I preferred the wiring to be, they even drained the old system’s water outside the property. they didn’t mess up my property they used the old screw holes and couldn’t tell that the system was replaced that’s how good the final result was. I am very happy and will use them again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How could upgrading my switchboard improve safety?
  • A modern switchboard uses circuit breakers and safety switches that cut power quickly if there is a fault, reducing the risk of electric shock, fire and damage to your home.
  • Older boards with ceramic fuses or no safety switches are often overloaded, hard to reset and no longer meet current standards, so upgrading keeps your home safer and more reliable.
  • In many homes the existing switchboard does not have enough capacity or safety switch protection for larger loads like heat pumps, EV chargers or new circuits, so an upgrade is often required to keep everything compliant.
  • Frequent tripping, flickering lights, old ceramic fuses, burning smells, hot cover plates or no safety switches are all signs you should have your switchboard checked by a licensed electrician.
  • We isolate the power, remove the old board, install a new enclosure with modern circuit breakers and safety switches, tidy the wiring and test every circuit so your system is safe, compliant and ready for future appliances.
