Signs Your Switchboard Needs Replacing
Most homeowners don't think about their switchboard until something goes wrong. Here are the warning signs you shouldn't ignore.
Ceramic Fuses
Old ceramic or rewirable fuses can't protect against modern electrical loads. They're a serious fire hazard and fail silently.
No Safety Switches (RCDs)
Without RCDs, there's nothing to stop a fatal electric shock. NSW law requires them on all power and lighting circuits.
Frequent Tripping
Circuits tripping regularly means your switchboard can't handle your home's electrical demand. It's overloaded and unsafe.
Burning Smell or Scorch Marks
Discolouration, heat damage, or burning smells from your switchboard are emergency warning signs. Call immediately.
Received a Defect Notice
Ausgrid or Essential Energy have flagged your switchboard as non-compliant. You typically have 21 days to rectify.
Planning Solar or EV Charger
Adding solar panels, a battery, or an EV charger? Your switchboard needs to be upgraded first to handle the extra capacity.
