Frequently asked questions

How often should a switchboard be inspected?

If your home is over 20 years old, you've recently purchased the property or you're planning electrical upgrades, a professional switchboard safety check is recommended.

What problems can a switchboard safety check identify?

We can identify overloaded circuits, damaged breakers, loose connections, overheating, outdated components, faulty safety switches and other potential electrical hazards.

Will you recommend a replacement if my switchboard is unsafe?

Yes. If your switchboard no longer meets current safety standards or cannot safely support your home's electrical demand, we'll explain why and provide a fixed-price quote for replacement.

Does a safety check include testing safety switches?

Yes. We test all installed RCDs (safety switches) to ensure they're operating correctly and providing protection against electric shock.
