40% of Aussie Homes Are Missing This One Crucial Safety Feature

Safety switches are designed to cut power instantly during a fault — protecting you from electric shocks, fires, and serious damage.

If your switchboard is old or hasn’t been inspected in years, there’s a good chance it doesn’t meet current safety standards — and that means your home, your family, and everything inside could be at risk.

 

Outdated switchboards can’t keep up with modern power demands, and without working safety switches, a single fault could be devastating.

After Hours Fault Find

“Brock arrived promptly within couple hours of my call, responding to a power outage that had persisted since the previous night. As I was uncertain about the cause of the issue, he conducted a thorough assessment, swiftly identifying and resolving the problem with ease. Furthermore, he provided a well-considered long-term solution to prevent future occurrences, which I readily accepted. The entire experience was seamless and highly professional. I highly recommend Brock for any household electrical concerns.“

After Hours Fault Find

“Brock was amazing!
Came straight out on a Sunday morning to help my 90 year old father, who had a power outage. I can’t thank him enough for the thorough way he fixed the issue, as well as calming down my stressed out Dad! Calling me back to update me, while we were travelling back from the coast, was above and beyond.
We will only be using Brock from now on for all electrical work“

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a switchboard upgrade really necessary if my current one is working fine?

Even if everything seems to be working, older switchboards often lack crucial safety features. For example, modern boards include safety switches (RCDs) on all circuits – these have been mandatory in new residential installations since 2018

Could my old switchboard contain asbestos, and can it be removed safely?

es, many Canberra homes built decades ago have switchboards with asbestos-containing materials. In the past, asbestos was commonly used in electrical meter boards and fuse panels as an insulator. If your switchboard was installed before the late 1980s or early 1990s, there’s a chance it contains asbestos. When we upgrade an older switchboard that has asbestos, we follow strict safety procedures mandated by ACT regulations. I'm a licensed electrician with asbestos-handling training and can safely remove your asbestos switchboard.

Will the new switchboard be future-proof for solar panels, home batteries, or an EV charger?

Absolutely yes – we design your switchboard upgrade with the future in mind. In the ACT, many homeowners are adding solar panels, battery storage, and EV chargers, so a new switchboard will be built to accommodate these upgrades. Practically, this means the new board will have capacity for additional circuits and breakers dedicated to solar or EV equipment.

Can a switchboard upgrade include moving to 3-phase power now or in the future?

Yes. Upgrading your switchboard is a perfect opportunity to upgrade to three-phase power if your home needs it – either now or later. Most Canberra homes have single-phase power, which is standard for normal household loads. However, if you anticipate higher power needs, our electricians can set up your new switchboard to handle a future three-phase connection or even convert it during the upgrade. This involves coordination with the local network (Evoenergy) and your metering company, all of this I can handle for you.

I’m concerned about the cost of a switchboard upgrade – is it really worth it?

We understand that a switchboard upgrade is a significant investment. However, it’s truly an investment in safety, compliance, and future savings for your home. Here are a few reasons why upgrading is worth the cost: Improved safety for your family, compliance and insurance benefits, ready for energy saving measures and most importantly less maintenance costs

Will I be without power during the switchboard upgrade?

Yes, but only for a short time. During the upgrade, power to your home will be temporarily shut off for safety — usually for a few hours. I’ll let you know exactly when and for how long in advance, so you can plan around it. Most upgrades are completed the same day, and I always do my best to minimise disruption to your routine.
