Switchboard capacity and circuit protection have an end of life cycle, which tends to cause inconvenience and increase electrical shock and fire hazards. If you don’t know when to upgrade your main switchboard, look for the following signs and if you are experiencing any of these conditions, your old switchboard is telling you to upgrade.

• Circuits turning off during the use of more than one standard appliance
• Lights flickering for no apparent reason
• Hot-to-touch cabling (occasional burning smell)
• Different brands of circuit breakers
• Incorrect circuit breaker discrimination (Non cascading KA rating)
• Circuit breakers or fuses not turning off in the event of appliance failure or cable damage

At Sydney Electrical Services NSW, we take the pride in our workmanship for your installation and get the job done with precision and extreme professionalism. We ensure the upgrade is installed according to the current Australian Standards. We conform to the codes of practice set by the Australian Government to guarantee your switchboard is compliant.

Thermal scanning of switchboards and wiring can identify unforeseen hazards such as hot joints from old and un-maintained terminations. Upon completion of the works, we perform the mandatory tests, document the results and supply a Certificate of Compliance of Electrical Works (CCEW), to you and your local supply authority to ensure the safety and efficiency of your electrical system and insurance compliance.

Switchboards perform an essential role in protecting your family, friends and property’s wiring. By hiring us for electrical switchboard or distribution board upgrades in Sydney, you can rest assured in knowing your property is safe from electrical shock hazards and potential fire risks.
