How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Many homes are done in a day, with the power off for part of it. We'll confirm the timing on your quote. Larger or staged commercial jobs take longer and we'll plan them with you.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost in Adelaide?
It depends on the number of circuits, the enclosure, asbestos, wiring condition and phase. Send us a photo of your board and we'll give you a free, itemised quote.
Do I need a new switchboard for solar, a battery or an EV charger?
Often, yes. Older boards may not have the space, protection or isolation these need. We check before quoting your EV charger or battery so there are no surprises.
What if my board has an asbestos backing?
Some older boards do. It changes how the work's done, not whether it can be done. We flag it at the quote.
Will my power be off?
Yes, for part of the job. We'll tell you the window in advance so you can plan around it, and fridges and freezers are usually fine.
Is a switchboard upgrade worth it if nothing's wrong?
If your board has no safety switches, yes. RCDs are the main protection against electric shock, and an upgrade now also saves rework when you add solar or an EV later.
Do you upgrade switchboards outside Adelaide?
Yes. We cover all of South Australia, including the Hills, the Fleurieu, the South East and regional SA.
