About switchboard upgrades
Old ceramic-fuse boards were never designed for the load of a modern home, and many lack safety switches entirely. An upgrade replaces the board with circuit breakers and RCD protection on every circuit, which is required before most solar, EV charger and major appliance installs anyway. Electricians will also flag asbestos backing panels, common in boards from the 1960s and 70s, which need licensed handling.
Getting quotes in Brompton
Before booking a electrician for switchboard upgrades, ask whether the price includes GST, callout and materials, and get it in writing. The quoting spread between operators in the same suburb is bigger than most people expect, which is exactly why comparing pays.
Local knowledge counts
Being in the Western Suburbs area gives Brompton residents genuine choice for switchboard upgrades. That competition keeps quotes honest, provided you actually collect more than one before booking.
Quick answers
Do I need a switchboard upgrade?+
If your board still has ceramic fuses, has no safety switches (RCDs), or trips constantly when you run several appliances, it is due. Upgrades typically cost $800 to $2,000 depending on the board and wiring condition.
Is this service really free?+
Yes. You pay nothing to use this site. We may be paid a referral or advertising fee by electricians and advertisers who appear here, which is how we keep it free.
What is a safety switch and do I legally need one?+
A safety switch (RCD) cuts power in milliseconds when it detects current leaking to earth, which is what stops electrocution. Rules vary by state but new installations and most rental properties must have them on all circuits. Testing them twice a year takes 30 seconds using the test button.
