Electrical Switchboard Upgrades
Upgrading your electrical switchboard is an extremely safe and recommended process to go through. Especially if you have received an electrical defect, upgrading your current electrical switchboard to a more contemporary and safer model is highly advised. You should upgrade to a 3 phase switchboard if you own a large commercial property or a larger sized house which uses a lot of electrical appliances. Some common signs which can indicate that a new switchboard is needed can be some of the following:
- Appliances tripping as the current low voltage switchboard cannot handle the number of voltages needed, for example, lights flickering more often (this is typically when you will need to upgrade to a 3 phase switchboard)
- There are smells, sparks and discolouration all coming from the switchboard. Your household appliances or fuses are a good sign that your switchboard may be breaking
A switchboard upgrade is important for ensuring that your home does not experience an electrical-related fire and that appliances do not short circuit regularly. It is also required by NSW law that a switchboard needs to be correctly installed and functioning at all times in every Sydney home. This is to prevent the number of electrical shocks, power outages and electrocution risks.
How Much Does A Switchboard Upgrade Cost?
As every switchboard and electrical issue is completely different, there is no one set cost for an upgrade. However, we can detail our price range and the typical Sydney average for the price of a new switchboard upgrade.
- A basic fuse box upgrade will cost between $800-$1900.
- If your home’s mains need to be upgraded, cabling needs to be carried out or the switchboard needs to be relocated. This will cost approximately between $2000-$4000.

What Are 3 Phase Switchboard Upgrades?
A 3 phase upgrade is typically used when a property has high electricity requirements. A 3 phase switchboard is installed at commercial properties, factories and stores but can also be installed in larger residential homes that use a lot of appliances and electrical systems. For example if you have multiple air conditioning units running, you will want a 3 phase switchboard to handle the extra voltage. Some of the benefits of this switchboard include that its power supply will never drop to zero, it is more energy efficient and there is less cabling involved. Only a level 2 asp electrician can carry out a 3 phase upgrade and candle any of the electrical defects that may arise in the future.
How Does A Switchboard Get Upgraded?
To perform an electrical switchboard upgrade, a Level 2 Electrician is needed to install the system. Having a higher certification and more knowledge in electrical matters than regular electricians, level 2 electrical contractors are the best for the installation. As old circuit breakers, safety switches and switchboards were designed to meet the electrical needs of older times, they are not up to standards of today’s world. The power distribution and needs of all systems, like hot water systems, dishwashers and air conditioners, in the building will cause too much stress on older makes of switchboards. That is why hiring a professional and fully licensed electrician to upgrade your main Switchboard is important.
