Switchboard Upgrades & Safety Switches around Kiama

Much of the housing in Kiama was built decades ago. Older homes like these often still have original switchboards, ceramic fuses or only one or two safety switches, and wiring that was never designed for today's appliances.

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.

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

Signs your switchboard needs attention

Ceramic fuses that need rewiring, breakers that trip regularly, a burning smell or warm board, flickering lights, or no safety switches at all. Any of these is worth a check.
