Switchboard upgrades
Your switchboard defines what your home can safely support now and next.
We assess board capacity, protection layout, and upgrade path for older homes, renovations, and properties planning EV, electrification, or future energy systems in Adelaide.
Why it matters
Load demand is rising faster than legacy boards were designed for.
Air conditioning, induction cooking, EV charging, and electric hot water all increase peak demand. Older switchboards can run out of usable capacity or protection flexibility. Some properties also carry extra planning constraints around older installation materials, so assessment comes first.
What we do
Capacity-led switchboard planning and upgrade delivery.
Switchboard capacity review against current and planned electrical load.
RCD and RCBO protection strategy for safer circuit separation.
Upgrade planning for older boards before renovation, EV charging, or solar changes.
Risk-first assessment for aged enclosures, deteriorated internals, and wiring condition.
Forward planning for future load growth instead of repeated patch upgrades.
Suitable for
Properties where electrical demand is changing.
Older Adelaide homes with legacy boards and unclear circuit history.
Renovation projects that need additional circuits and better load distribution.
Properties preparing for EV charger, electric hot water, or future solar and battery.
Process
Four steps to a clearer, safer electrical backbone.
01
On-site board assessment
We inspect existing board condition, accessible circuits, and practical upgrade constraints.
02
Load and protection plan
We define capacity, circuit grouping, and protection approach based on current and future usage.
03
Upgrade execution
Board and associated infrastructure are upgraded with clear circuit structure and labelled outcomes.
04
Handover guidance
You receive a plain-language summary of what changed and how future additions should be staged.
