An upgrade is more than a quick swap-out. Here at Wire In Electrical, our friendly team always takes a comprehensive approach that includes:
We also handle required liaising with your energy provider for any meter box changes or main switch isolations.
Whether you’re upgrading a switchboard in an older house or future-proofing a new build, we’ll complete the job cleanly, professionally, and to the highest standards.
Yes – especially if you’re renovating or selling. Current standards require all circuits to have RCDs (safety switches), and you may not be able to complete your renovation, solar install, or extension without a modern switchboard that meets today’s code.
The switchboard upgrade regulations NSW electricians follow are set by AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules), enforced by NSW Fair Trading. If your board is non-compliant, your electrician is legally required to bring it up to standard before doing any further work.
That means now is the perfect time to upgrade – whether to meet legal obligations, or simply protect your household from preventable risk.
