Switchboard Upgrades & Safety Switches around Kiama Downs

Kiama Downs has a lot of established homes, many with original wiring and switchboards. That makes a safety check worthwhile before a renovation, and it's often why circuits trip or power points run hot.

Switchboard upgrades are one of the most common jobs in older homes. Replacing ceramic fuses with circuit breakers and safety switches on every circuit is a real safety improvement.

Being close to the water, salt air is hard on outdoor fittings, so we recommend marine-grade or sealed (IP-rated) fittings outside and check for corrosion in meter boxes and outdoor points.

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 Kiama Downs

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.
