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 Wallacetown
When you enquire about switchboard upgrades, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.

Quick answers
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.
How much does an electrician cost per hour?+
Typical rates are $80 to $130 per hour plus a callout fee of $70 to $130. Small fixed jobs like replacing a power point usually land between $120 and $200 all-in. Quotes are free from most electricians, so compare before you book.
