    Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

    Certain warning signs indicate your switchboard may no longer meet current safety or performance standards. Identifying these early helps prevent electrical faults and potential hazards.

    • Frequent circuit breaker trips or blown fuses
    • Ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers
    • Overheating, buzzing or burning smells near the switchboard
    • Limited space for additional circuits
    • Flickering lights when appliances are in use

    If you notice any of these issues, a professional assessment can determine whether a switchboard upgrade is required to restore safe and reliable operation.
