What Is a Switchboard—and Why It Matters

Your switchboard distributes electricity throughout your property. It’s what keeps your power running smoothly and safely. Modern switchboards are equipped with RCDs (Residual Current Devices) or safety switches that trip in milliseconds to prevent electrical shock or fire.

Older switchboards, however, often contain ceramic fuses or wired fuses, which don’t meet today’s safety standards. They can’t handle modern energy demands—and they put you at risk.

Signs You May Need a Switchboard Upgrade

If any of the following apply to your home or business, it may be time to upgrade:

  • No safety switches on circuits

  • Flickering lights or tripping circuits

  • Renovating or extending your property

  • Adding high-power appliances like air conditioning, ovens or EV chargers

  • Switchboard is 25+ years old or contains ceramic fuses

  • Burning smells or hot switchboard panels

  • Still using wired fuses, which are dangerous and outdated
