Upgrade Your Switchboard for Improved Safety and Capacity

Upgrading your switchboard is one of the most effective ways to improve electrical safety and support increasing power demands within your home. As modern appliances, air conditioning systems and additional circuits place greater strain on older installations, outdated switchboards can struggle to manage electrical load safely and consistently.

At Perth Complete Electrical, we assess your existing switchboard and install compliant upgrades designed to enhance circuit protection and system stability. Replacing aging components and outdated protection devices reduces overload risk, minimises nuisance tripping and ensures your home is properly equipped to handle today’s electrical usage with confidence and reliability.

    Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

    Modern switchboards allow you to use electricity safely and distribute it around your property in a safe manner. Many switchboards now include built-in protection with safety switches and reputable circuit breakers. When you upgrade to a new switchboard, you will gain these benefits immediately:

    • Increased Safety: Prevent electric shocks and lower fire risks with the latest protective devices.

    • Future-Proof: Allow for new technology and appliances, and reduce friction during future renovations by upgrading to a setup that complies with today’s standards.
    • Fewer interruptions: Reduce annoying power outages, flickering lights, and blown fuses.

    • Insurance Compliance: A safer electrical system can help with electrical safety compliance and insurance requirements.

    • Peace of Mind: You can be confident the safety of your family, staff, customers, and property is maintained 24/7. 

    Upgrading your switchboard ensures your property remains protected, compliant and capable of supporting modern electrical demand.

    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.

    Great service and installation. The Electrician who completed the installation, his attention to detail even with cleaning up and showing me the operation of the fans was above and beyond
    Sean Smith
    Third time having Kurt do some work now - he's amazing, highly recommend. Great job cleaning up after himself too - this gets the 5 stars, too many trades do a job and leave a mess - always leave the place better than when you arrived and Kurt from PCE does this. 5 stars.

    DS Bax
    Arrived when the message said he would. Polite, efficient and effective. Identified the issue. Would have cleaned up afterwards if I’d let him. What I expected from a professional service, what it said on the tin and what I paid for.

    Amer Saabi
    Great workmanship. On the money side, when you need the money paid instantly, you should warn the customer in advance so that they can add your BSB and account number and get ready to pay as soon as the job is finished. Otherwise, a very good provider.
    Response from the owner:Thank you for the positive feedback and for recognising the quality of our workmanship — we really appreciate it.

    We also appreciate your comments regarding payment and agree that clearer advance notice is important. We’ll take this on board and ensure payment expectations are communicated upfront so the process is smoother for our customers.

    Thanks again for choosing us and for taking the time to share your experience.

    Great service from Dylan, who persevered with a fiddly 3 light pendant over the Kitchen Island Bench, plus 2 pendant lights in the hallway as well as 2 additional GPO's. Everything was left nice and clean. Good value too for the time involved.
    Response from the owner:Hi Mark, Thanks so much for the great feedback. We’re really glad to hear Dylan took the time to get everything just right — especially with a fiddly pendant install like that. It’s great to know you were happy with the finish, cleanliness, and value for money.
    We really appreciate you choosing Perth Complete Electrical and are always here if you need anything down the track.
