Yes. Electrical work of this kind must be certified, and we provide the required electrical safety certificate as part of the job. It is your documented assurance the work meets the standards, and it matters for safety, for insurance and for any future sale of the home.

Yes, and it is usually the most efficient approach. Because we are an electrical company doing everything in-house, we carry out the switchboard or cabling upgrade as part of the same project, properly sequenced with your solar, battery or EV installation. One team, one standard, one point of accountability.

Because the scope and the quality vary enormously. A cheap quote may use minimal or lower-grade components and skip work that should be done, while a thorough one brings the board fully up to standard with quality protection. We quote to do it properly with premium devices, and explain exactly what is included so you can compare like with like.

Some older switchboard backing panels were made from asbestos-containing material, which must be handled correctly and safely. Where that is a possibility, we identify it during assessment and manage it appropriately rather than disturbing it carelessly. Your safety and ours comes first.

A typical residential switchboard upgrade is often done within a day, with power off for part of it, usually a few hours depending on scope. More involved work such as consumer mains, a three-phase conversion or asbestos handling takes longer. We plan the timing with you and give a realistic timeframe before starting.

Yes. Replacing old fuses with modern circuit breakers and safety switches, and bringing the board up to standard, significantly improves your home’s electrical safety in its own right. It protects against shock and fire risks regardless of whether you ever add solar. Many customers value that peace of mind on its own.

Often, yes. Flickering lights, nuisance tripping and warm switchgear can point to overloaded circuits, loose or aged connections, or inadequate protection, all of which a properly designed switchboard upgrade addresses. We diagnose the underlying cause rather than just resetting the symptom, so the fix lasts.
