Switchboards around Wollongong
A lot of Wollongong's housing was built decades ago, which means plenty of old switchboards, ceramic fuses and homes without enough safety switches or power points. Renovating one of these is the perfect time to bring the wiring up to date. In the CBD and around North Wollongong, we look after office fit-outs, shop refurbishments and tenancy changes, with after-hours work available so businesses keep trading.
We cover Wollongong CBD, North Wollongong, West Wollongong, Gwynneville, Keiraville, Mangerton, Figtree, Coniston, Mount Saint Thomas.
If your house still has ceramic fuses, a switchboard full of old asbestos-backed panels, or breakers that trip whenever the kettle and the air-con run together, it's time for an upgrade. A modern board with safety switches protects the people in your home and gives you room for new appliances.
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
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.
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.
Done once, done right
We test every circuit after the upgrade, label the board clearly, and leave you with a board that's easy to understand.
