When Is Switchboard Upgrades Necessary?

An upgrade becomes necessary when you've still got ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or a board that trips constantly and can't keep up. It's also a must when you're adding air conditioning, a new kitchen, solar, or an EV charger, anything that increases the load. If your board is overcrowded, buzzing, warm to the touch or scorched, book a switchboard upgrade with our Lake Macquarie, Cessnock and Singleton electricians before it becomes a hazard.

What Is Required For Switchboard Upgrades?

For a switchboard upgrade we'll assess your existing board, your supply and the circuits running off it. Depending on the age of the property, Solmet Electrical Installations may need to bring wiring up to standard and, in some cases, coordinate a metering or supply change as part of the works. There's usually a short power interruption while the new board goes in, and we'll organise access and timing with you so the switchboard replacement is quick and hassle-free.
