Switchboard Upgrades

Modern homes are equipped with an array of electrical 

devices, all of which demand a reliable and safe electrical 

system. A critical component of this system is the 

switchboard. If your switchboard is one of the original 

boards installed when your house was built, it might be 

time to consider an upgrade.

​

Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Switchboards are the heart of a homes electrical system, distributing power to

various circuits throughout the house. Older switchboards often lack the advanced

safety features present in modern designs. Upgrading to a modern switchboard

brings several key benefits:

• Enhanced Safety: Modern switchboards are designed to cut power instantly in

the event of a fault, protecting you and your family from electrical hazards.

• Prevention of Electrical Shock: Updated switches on all circuits can

significantly reduce the risk of electrical shocks.

• Compliance with Safety Standards: Even with a safety switch, older

switchboards might not meet current safety standards. Upgrading ensures

compliance with these standards.

• Protection from Power Surges: Loss and damage of electronic appliances due to power surges from direct lightning hits are not uncommon. By installing surge arrestors at the Switchboard ensures protection on all circuits.
