What to look for

Old installations deserve a closer look.

Electrical protection needs to suit the installation’s condition, circuit design and applicable requirements. A qualified electrician can assess what should be retained, repaired or upgraded.

  • Aged, damaged or crowded switchboard equipment
  • Missing or unsuitable protective devices
  • Recurring circuit trips or unexplained faults
  • Alterations where existing protection needs review

The upgrade process

Assess first. Upgrade where needed.

A switchboard replacement should be based on findings and agreed work, not assumptions.

01 / Inspect

Review board condition, circuit protection and the reported problem.

02 / Scope

Explain the necessary changes and applicable testing or documentation.

03 / Complete

Carry out authorised work, verify operation and explain the updated protection.

Practical answers

Questions worth asking.

Does an older switchboard always need replacement?

No. Condition, existing protection, capacity and inspection findings determine what is appropriate.

What if the safety switch repeatedly trips?

Stop repeatedly resetting it and arrange diagnosis. A faulty appliance, moisture or an installation defect can be involved.

Do I need an RCD or RCBO?

The appropriate protection depends on the circuits, the work and current applicable requirements. This is assessed for the particular property.
