      Vicki Kerr
      {{business:name}} service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
      Claire F
      The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find {{business:name}}! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend {{business:name}} for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang {{business:name}} 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend {{business:name}}!
      Susie Lorentz
      We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
      Alistair G
      Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
      Connie Wang
      It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
      Norm Krieke
      {{business:name}} were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
      Rebecca
      Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
      Jessica Maher
      Big thanks to Braeden for fixing the electrical issue in our apartment. I was incredibly impressed with Brayden's professionalism, passion for his work and his attention to detail. He also explained the issue to me at every point and made sure I understood what was needed and how to address any issues in future. I'm grateful he came to help us today and truly impressed with his workmanship and attitude. Cheers Braeden and the team at {{business:name}}.

      Answers to Common Questions

      FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades

      Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Forest Glen? Check out these FAQs or reach out to our team for expert guidance. We're here to help you determine if our dependable electrical services are the right fit for your home or business.

      Upgrading your switchboard provides numerous advantages including enhanced electrical protection with modern circuit breakers and safety switches, expanded capacity for additional appliances and systems, elimination of frequent power interruptions and circuit tripping, reduced risk of electrical fires and damage, and compliance with current Australian Standards. Many Forest Glen properties with older switchboards also benefit from improved energy efficiency and reliability following an upgrade, particularly those built in earlier decades.

      Indicators that your switchboard requires upgrading include the presence of outdated ceramic fuses, repeated circuit breaker tripping incidents, flickering or dimming lights, burning odours near the switchboard area, visible damage or discoloration on the board, absence of RCD protection devices, insufficient capacity for your current electrical demands, and if your property was constructed before safety switch regulations came into effect. If you're planning renovations, installing air conditioning, or adding an electric vehicle charger, a professional switchboard assessment is strongly recommended to ensure your system can handle the increased electrical load safely.

      The switchboard upgrade process commences with a thorough assessment of your existing electrical system and future requirements. We then coordinate with your electricity distributor to safely disconnect power, carefully remove the old switchboard components whilst documenting the circuit layout, install the new board complete with circuit breakers and safety switches, reconnect all circuits with proper identification labelling, conduct comprehensive testing to ensure proper operation before restoring power, and arrange any necessary inspections with authorities. We also provide complete documentation of the upgrade work for your records and future reference.

      Yes, Residual Current Devices, commonly known as safety switches, are mandatory for residential properties throughout New South Wales. Current electrical safety regulations require RCD protection on all power and lighting circuits throughout the home. If your switchboard lacks properly installed safety switches, it requires upgrading to comply with Australian Standards and provide adequate protection for occupants. Our Forest Glen electricians can thoroughly assess your current setup and recommend the appropriate safety upgrades to bring your property up to standard and protect against electric shock hazards.

      Whilst a switchboard upgrade primarily improves safety and system reliability, it can contribute to energy efficiency in various ways. Modern switchboards provide more stable power distribution, reducing voltage fluctuations that can cause appliances to work harder and consume more electricity. Additionally, by enabling proper circuit separation for different areas of your property, you gain improved control over your electricity usage patterns. Newer switchboards also accommodate energy monitoring devices and smart home systems that help track and manage consumption, potentially leading to energy savings over time through better awareness and control of your electrical usage.
