Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the most common questions Melbourne homeowners and businesses ask us.
The usual giveaways are circuit breakers that keep tripping, flickering lights, burn marks or a burning smell around your switchboard, old ceramic or rewirable fuses, and no safety switches at all. If your home is 20+ years old or your power can’t keep up, it needs to be checked.
Most switchboard upgrades take somewhere between 4 and 8 hours depending on the size of the property and how complex the job is. For a standard residential upgrade, we can usually have you back up and running the same day. Bigger jobs or three-phase setups can take a bit longer, but we’ll always let you know what to expect before we start.
Every job is a bit different, so the cost depends on the status of your current board, the size of your property, and whether you need extra wiring or safety switches. We do free, upfront quotes with no hidden fees so you know exactly what you’re up for before we touch anything.
A safety switch, or RCD, cuts the power straight away when it picks up an electrical fault. That’s what stops shocks, fires and serious injuries. Current Australian Standards require them on all power and lighting circuits, so if your board doesn’t have them, it’s well worth getting that sorted.
Yes, we do need to turn the power off while we’re working on the upgrade. It’s usually only out for a few hours, though. We work as quickly as we can to keep the disruption to a minimum, and we’ll always let you know when to expect everything back on.
Ceramic fuses aren’t dangerous, but they’re outdated and don’t protect like modern safety switches. They can’t detect the kind of faults that cause shocks or fires, which is why most Melbourne homes are better off upgrading to a modern board with RCDs fitted.
