      Vicki Kerr
      {{business:name}} service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
      Claire F
      The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find {{business:name}}! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend {{business:name}} for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang {{business:name}} 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend {{business:name}}!
      Susie Lorentz
      We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
      Alistair G
      Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
      Connie Wang
      It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
      Norm Krieke
      {{business:name}} were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
      Rebecca
      Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
      Jessica Maher
      Big thanks to Braeden for fixing the electrical issue in our apartment. I was incredibly impressed with Brayden's professionalism, passion for his work and his attention to detail.

      Answers to Common Questions

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Hornsby? Check out these frequently asked questions or reach out to our qualified team for expert guidance. We’re here to help you determine the right electrical solutions for your property’s needs.

      Key indicators include frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering lights, buzzing sounds from the switchboard, warm or discoloured switch plates, reliance on old ceramic fuses, or a lack of safety switches. If your home was built before 1990 or you’re planning to install new major appliances or air conditioning, a switchboard assessment is highly recommended to ensure safety and capacity.

      While there’s no fixed timeline, switchboards typically need upgrading every 20-30 years as electrical standards and household demands evolve. If you’ve added significant new appliances, are experiencing electrical issues, or have an older property with original wiring, it’s worth having your switchboard inspected by a licenced electrician to determine if an upgrade is necessary for safety and functionality.

      A comprehensive switchboard upgrade typically involves replacing outdated components with modern circuit breakers, installing safety switches (RCDs) for each circuit group, checking and potentially upgrading the main supply capacity, ensuring proper earthing, and rewiring connections where necessary. We’ll also assess your property’s current and future electrical needs to ensure the new switchboard has adequate capacity and complies with all current Australian Standards.

      Safety switches (RCDs) provide crucial protection by instantly disconnecting power when they detect current leakage, which could indicate a dangerous fault. This rapid response can prevent electric shocks, electrical fires, and potential fatalities. Beyond the critical safety aspects, modern RCDs also help protect sensitive electronic equipment and provide peace of mind, especially in homes with children or older wiring systems.

      In most cases, yes. Many older switchboards aren’t designed to handle the bidirectional power flow from solar systems. A switchboard upgrade ensures your system can safely integrate solar generation, may include specific solar circuit protection, and allows for the installation of smart metres or solar metering. Our electricians can assess your existing switchboard to determine the necessary upgrades before solar installation.
