Professional switchboard upgrades in Sydney to improve safety, prevent electrical faults, and future-proof your property.
From Victorian terraces in Newtown and Summer Hill to modern apartments in the CBD and
family homes in Ashfield and Dulwich Hill,
many Sydney properties still rely on outdated fuse boxes or overloaded switchboards.
These older systems were never designed to handle today's high-demand appliances, air
conditioning units, or EV chargers.
Our licensed Sydney electricians have upgraded thousands of residential, strata, and
commercial switchboards —
replacing dangerous ceramic fuses, fixing overloaded café setups in Marrickville, and
modernising warehouse switchboards in Stanmore.
With over 25 years' experience and full knowledge of NSW compliance requirements, we deliver
safe, reliable, and future-ready electrical systems across Sydney.
Here are the key warning signs your Sydney switchboard needs upgrading:
Upgrade to a switchboard that meets the latest NSW electrical safety regulations, complete with RCDs and circuit breakers.
Reduce the risk of electrical fires, short circuits, and shocks. Protect your family, staff, and property with confidence.
Built to handle modern loads including solar panels, EV chargers, three-phase power, and high-demand appliances common in Sydney households and businesses.
Boost your property's value, improve safety standards, and satisfy insurance requirements with a compliant switchboard upgrade.
The Dangers of Outdated Switchboards
Thousands of homes, apartments, and commercial properties across Sydney were built long before today's strict NSW electrical safety standards. If your switchboard hasn't been upgraded in 20+ years, it could be silently putting your property and everyone in it at risk of serious electrical hazards, including:
Even if your switchboard looks fine from the outside, worn components and outdated fuse
technology inside could be compromising your safety every day.
Booking a licensed Sydney electrician for an inspection is the fastest way to uncover hidden
risks, stay compliant, and protect your property.

Clear answers to common questions from Sydney property owners about safe, compliant switchboard upgrades.
We replace outdated panels (often with ceramic fuses or no safety switches) with a modern board featuring MCBs and RCD safety switches. We label circuits, balance loads, verify earthing/bonding, and test to AS/NZS 3000 standards for NSW compliance which reduces the risk of shock, fire, and nuisance tripping.
Common indicators your switchboard may be due for replacement:
An upgrade becomes essential where safety switches are missing or the installation doesn’t meet current standards. New electrical work must comply with AS/NZS 3000, and many rentals and commercial sites require RCD protection on specified circuits. Non-compliant boards can fail inspections and may jeopardise insurance claims.
No. NSW law requires a licensed electrician to perform switchboard work. DIY is illegal and dangerous, and can void insurance and compliance.
Many residential upgrades are completed within a day. Power is isolated during installation and testing, then restored when safe. For businesses, we can schedule after-hours works to minimise disruption.
Where distributor notifications or isolations are required, we handle the process with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy and coordinate metering where applicable.
You'll receive test results and compliance documentation (including CCEW where required), plus clearly labelled circuits for future maintenance.
Yes—upgrades can include extra capacity, dedicated circuits and appropriate protection so your board is EV- and solar-ready with balanced loads.
