What's included

The actual work involved — spelled out clearly so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Full switchboard replacement

Old board out, new board in — with a modern enclosure sized for future circuits so we're not back cutting it apart in two years to squeeze another RCD in.

RCD safety switches on every circuit

Modern RCBOs on every circuit — power, lights and dedicated appliances — so a fault on one circuit doesn't kill power to the whole house, and the earth-leakage protection stays intact.

Surge protection

Whole-of-home surge protection installed at the board to protect your electronics, appliances and solar inverter from spikes coming down the street.

Neat, labelled, future-proofed

Every circuit clearly labelled, cabling dressed properly, and spare space for the solar, EV charger or aircon you might add next year — not a rat's nest we hope no one opens.

Solar and EV-ready wiring

Boards set up correctly for existing or planned solar systems and EV chargers, including the isolation and metering positions your installer will need.

Minimal power-off time

We plan the cutover so power is off for hours, not the whole day — usually one lunchtime and you're back on with a compliant board.

Certificate of Compliance (CCEW)

Full CCEW issued to Ausgrid so the work is on record — the paperwork that matters for insurance, selling your home, and any future electrical work.

12-month workmanship warranty

Every board we install is backed for 12 months in writing. If anything's not right, one phone call and we're back.

Common questions

Common signs: ceramic or plug-in fuses, no safety switches (or only one for the whole house), breakers that keep tripping, buzzing or a warm board, or you're adding solar, an EV charger or air-conditioning. If any of those sound familiar, it's worth a look.
