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 Kanahooka
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.

Quick answers
Can I do any electrical work myself?+
Almost none. In Australia it is illegal to do your own fixed wiring, including replacing a light switch or power point. You can change a light bulb or plug in appliances, and that is about it. Unlicensed work risks fines, fire and voided insurance.
How do I know an electrician is licensed?+
Ask for their licence number and check it on your state's licensing register (for example, in South Australia use the SA Government trade licence search at sa.gov.au). Legitimate sparkies expect to be asked and will provide a Certificate of Compliance for notifiable work.
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.
