Our Perth electricians understand that quality is a must, that's why we only use the top brands for all of our switchboard components such as Clipsal and NHP. 


Do you know when to upgrade your switchboard? If not thats okay, not many residents or business owners do. The main reason is your building may be 20+ years old. Because 20+ years ago we did not have as many electrical appliances available to use at one time. When running multiple appliances at the same time it will require a large load of electricity. Older homes were not built to handle high amounts of electrical load, this brings the potential for failure in wiring and older styles of circuit protection such as fuses or plug in circuit breakers. The failure of these electrical components may cause an electrical fire.


Besides the older wiring and circuit protection not being able to handle high amounts of electrical load, old switch boards do not have RCD (residual current device) installed. The purpose of an RCD is to switch the power off if a fault is sensed such as a human touching a bare wire it will prevent a major electric shock or electrocution.


Upgrading a switchboard includes a new enclosure, main switch, RCD’s and circuit breakers, circuits clearly labelled and testing carried out on all circuits using instrumental test’s to meet industry standards and regulations of the AS 3000. All switchboard installation comes with a new electrical safety certificate. Western Power will be notified about the electrical switchboard installation if they need to disconnect from the streets main power. If they do not need to be contacted the new board can be connected into the mains.
