The problem
Outdated Switchboards Are a Safety Hazard
Older switchboards often struggle to handle modern power usage, especially in homes and businesses with high-energy appliances, solar systems, or electric vehicles. An outdated switchboard can cause serious electrical issues, posing risks to both safety and efficiency.

- Frequent Power Trips & Overloaded CircuitsOlder switchboards can’t handle high-demand appliances, causing frequent outages.
- Old Fuse-Style SwitchboardsCeramic fuses and outdated wiring increase fire and shock risks.
- Buzzing, Burning Smells, or SparksWarning signs of faulty wiring or overheating components that require urgent attention
- Inconsistent Power SupplyVoltage drops and flickering lights indicate your switchboard is struggling to regulate electricity.
- Non-Compliance with Australian StandardsOlder switchboards fail modern electrical safety requirements, leading to insurance risks and potential fines.

Switchboard Upgrades FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our Switchboard Upgrades services.
How do I know if my switchboard needs an upgrade?
If your switchboard has ceramic fuses, no safety switches (RCDs), frequent power trips, or buzzing sounds, it’s time for an upgrade.
What is an RCD, and why do I need one?
An RCD (Residual Current Device) automatically shuts off power in case of an electrical fault, preventing electric shocks and fires.
Will my power be turned off during the upgrade?
Yes, but we work efficiently to minimise downtime and restore power as quickly as possible.
Does an upgraded switchboard lower energy bills?
While it won’t directly reduce energy usage, a modern switchboard improves efficiency, preventing power wastage and electrical damage.

Connor and the team done an exceptional job at our property on a number of electrical tasks including the installation of downlights and ceiling fans. They're extremely professional and ensured a clean job at all times. Highly recommended!
Daniel Pollifrone
Had my private power pole replaced, they did an exceptional job. Competitive pricing, was well below the other quotes I got for the job, Great service!
Stephen Watts
Connor was very diligent in troubleshooting our outdoor low voltage lighting. The system was not the best from the original installation and would often fail. No problem now, all resolved by Connor, he's a good troubleshooter. We're enjoying our garden using the night lights again. Yes, I highly recommend the services of Voltaic Electrical.
Dean McKenzie
