SERVICE OVERVIEW

At Gambit Electrical, we know how crucial it is to keep your home’s switchboard safe and compliant. As the central hub of your electrical system, a switchboard plays a vital role in protecting both people and property. If outdated or poorly maintained, it can pose serious risks.

Many homes still rely on old switchboards that weren’t built to handle today’s high-powered appliances. These outdated systems can become overloaded, increasing the risk of electrical hazards. To maintain safety, we recommend having your switchboard inspected at least once a year. Additionally, some safety switches require monthly testing, as indicated on the device itself. Upgrading from old ceramic fuses to modern safety switches (RCBOs) is a key step in enhancing protection.

Keeping your switchboard up to current safety standards is one of the best ways to prevent electrical faults. At Gambit Electrical, we offer a range of upgrade options to fit different needs and budgets, making switchboard safety accessible for everyone.

Even newer switchboards often lack surge protection, which is essential to safeguarding your appliances from unexpected power surges. Electrical surges can cause costly damage, often exceeding the price of installing proper protection.

Another common issue with poorly maintained switchboards is the failure of safety switches to trip during an electrical fault. These switches are designed to shut off power immediately if a fault is detected, reducing the risk of electric shock. Additionally, pests and rodents can damage wiring inside switchboards, leading to short circuits and other hazards. Regular inspections and maintenance by a licensed electrician are essential to keeping your switchboard in safe working order.

At Gambit Electrical, we specialise in switchboard upgrades, repairs, and maintenance. Our team of licensed electricians can assess your switchboard, identify potential hazards, and recommend the best solutions to ensure compliance with the latest safety regulations.

POPULAR QUESTIONS

Do I need a switchboard upgrade?

Yes — if your home was built prior to the 1970s and is still fitted with ceramic fuses, it likely no longer meets current electrical safety standards. Modern switchboards are required to incorporate safety switches (RCDs) and circuit breakers to provide adequate protection against electric shock, overload, and fire hazards.

In addition, if you’ve been issued a defect notice by your local council or are experiencing recurring electrical issues, it is essential to have a licensed electrician carry out an inspection. We can assess your existing switchboard’s compliance with AS/NZS 3000:2018 (the Wiring Rules) and provide professional recommendations to ensure your installation is safe, reliable, and legally compliant.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

The cost of a switchboard upgrade can vary significantly, as several important factors must be considered during assessment. These include — but are not limited to — whether the property is single-phase or three-phase, the existing earthing arrangement, the presence of hazardous materials such as asbestos within the switchboard panel, and the condition of the wiring behind the panel.

Because every installation is unique, we offer professional on-site assessments and provide clear, up-front pricing before any work begins. This ensures you understand exactly what’s involved, what needs to be done to meet current safety standards, and the total cost of the upgrade.
What are the benefits of upgrading your switchboard?

Upgrading your switchboard offers a range of important benefits, including improved electrical safety for your home and family, greater capacity to handle the growing power demands of modern appliances and technology, and long-term cost savings by minimising the risk of faults and expensive repairs.

It also ensures full compliance with Australia’s current electrical standards, allows for the safe removal of outdated and potentially hazardous asbestos panels, and helps prevent electrical hazards such as shocks, fires, and overloads. It’s a smart, worthwhile investment — and we’ll handle the hard work so you can enjoy the safety, reliability, and peace of mind a modern switchboard provides.
