      Vicki Kerr
      {{business:name}} service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
      Claire F
      The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find {{business:name}}! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend {{business:name}} for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang {{business:name}} 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend {{business:name}}!
      Susie Lorentz
      We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
      Alistair G
      Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
      Connie Wang
      It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
      Norm Krieke
      {{business:name}} were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
      Rebecca
      Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
      Jessica Maher

      Answers to Common Questions

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Oatlands? Check out these FAQs or reach out to our team for expert guidance. We're here to help you determine if our dependable electrical services are the right fit for your home or business.

      Upgrading your switchboard delivers substantial benefits including enhanced electrical safety through modern circuit breakers and RCDs, expanded capacity to support additional appliances and air conditioning systems, elimination of frequent power outages and circuit tripping, dramatically reduced risk of electrical fires, and full compliance with current Australian Standards. Many Oatlands homes constructed with older switchboards also experience improved energy efficiency and more stable power distribution following a professional upgrade.

      Several indicators suggest your switchboard requires upgrading. These include the presence of outdated ceramic fuses rather than circuit breakers, frequent tripping when using multiple appliances, flickering or dimming lights throughout the home, burning odours emanating from the switchboard area, visible scorch marks or discolouration on the board, absence of RCD protection for safety, insufficient capacity for your household's electrical demands, and if your property was constructed before the 1990s. When planning renovations, adding air conditioning, or installing an EV charger, a professional switchboard assessment becomes particularly important.

      The switchboard upgrade procedure commences with a comprehensive evaluation of your existing electrical system and specific requirements. We then coordinate with your electricity distributor to safely disconnect power, carefully remove outdated switchboard components, install the new board complete with modern circuit breakers and RCDs, reconnect all circuits with clear labelling for future reference, and conduct thorough testing before restoring power. We arrange any necessary compliance inspections and supply complete documentation of the upgrade for your records and future property transactions.

      RCDs, also known as safety switches or Residual Current Devices, are indeed mandatory for residential properties throughout New South Wales. Current electrical safety legislation requires RCD protection on all power circuits and lighting circuits to safeguard occupants from electric shock. When your switchboard lacks properly installed RCDs, it fails to meet Australian Standards and requires upgrading. Our Oatlands electricians can thoroughly assess your existing setup, identify any deficiencies, and recommend appropriate safety upgrades to bring your property into full compliance.

      While a switchboard upgrade primarily focuses on improving safety and system reliability, it can contribute to energy efficiency in various ways. Modern switchboards deliver more consistent power supply, minimising voltage fluctuations that force appliances to consume extra electricity. Moreover, through proper circuit separation for different zones of your home, you achieve better oversight of your electricity consumption patterns. This improved control, combined with the capacity to support energy-efficient appliances and systems, can lead to measurable energy savings over the long term.
