When Do You Know You Are Due For A Switchboard Upgrade?

When do you replace your switchboard? When you notice that it cannot cope with demand. If you had it installed several years ago when your home only had few power requirements, you might want to upgrade when you add some appliances such as that extra air conditioner or pool pump.

Naturally, a switchboard is designed to diagnose problems and stop the current to prevent an accident. When it is time-barred, then it takes too much time to detect a problem. In other words, it becomes ineffective.

The other reason for upgrading your switchboard is when you notice an overload. Just like a computer’s RAM, the internal workings of a switchboard will change over time. An old fuse box will not support your ambitious light fitting installation, and it will also not be energy efficient.

How Long Does An Upgrade Take?

Usually, a switchboard upgrade takes about 4 hours in a fairly new home, but you will need more time than that if your home is over 25 years old seeing as the whole house will need to be rewired. The process will certainly require the services of a professional, lest you bring the entire house down.

If your switchboard was installed before the new rules that require it to be at less than two meters from the ground, the electrician would take longer working on it as they have to move it. The board should be accessible to meter readers at all times. Contact us for your switchboard upgrade today.
