Switchboard Upgrades & Safety Switches around Helensburgh

Homes in Helensburgh range from older brick and weatherboard houses to more recent builds. Jade checks the age and condition of the switchboard first, because that decides what's possible and what it will cost.

If your home is older, the switchboard may still have ceramic fuses or too few safety switches. If it's newer, an upgrade is usually about room for new circuits like an EV charger or air-con.

Leafy, hilly streets mean storms, trees near overhead service lines and steep blocks, which all affect how outdoor and underground work is planned.

What we do

Old ceramic fuse boards replaced with modern circuit breakers
Safety switches (RCDs) added to power and lighting circuits
Extra capacity for air-conditioning, EV chargers, pools and renovations
Sub-boards for sheds, granny flats and extensions
Nuisance tripping found and fixed
Surge protection

Switchboard Upgrades & Safety Switches in Helensburgh

Why safety switches matter

A safety switch cuts power in a fraction of a second if current leaks to earth, for example through a person. Older homes often have none, or only one protecting the power points. We'll check what you have and recommend what's needed.
