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 Marion
For switchboard upgrades, ask each electrician two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Marion. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Coastal South West run.
Local knowledge counts
Marion sits in the Coastal South West area, which means several electricians are normally within a short drive. Mention your suburb when you enquire so travel is built into the price from the start rather than appearing on the invoice later.
Quick answers
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.
How much does an EV charger installation cost?+
A standard 7kW home charger install usually costs $800 to $1,800 on top of the charger itself, depending on switchboard capacity and cable run length. Three-phase homes have more options. An electrician should check your board before you buy a charger.
