Find a certified electrician to upgrade or repair your switchboard

Electrical switchboards are important for any home that makes use of electricity - which is most of us! Electrical switchboards are situated at the point in which the electricity enters the house and work to divide the current into smaller currents to be distributed through the rest of the home. Fuses and safety switches are installed at the switchboard in order to protect against dangerous overloads and current leakages.

If you've been having problems with your electricity it could be that your switchboard is faulty. Or perhaps you live in an older house and require a switchboard upgrade. As with many other electrical repairs or installations, it's important to have your switchboard maintained by a qualified electrician. Post your electrical switchboard job with Service Central and you'll only have certified electricians respond. It's a free service, and thanks to our strict quality control you can be confident that only licensed electricians with public liability insurance will be notified about your electrical job.

What does an electrician specialising in switchboards do?

Switchboard Repairs Switchboard Repairs If you've noticed your power dropping out, electrical appliances not working or the household lighting playing up it could be a fault in your switchboard. Have a certified electrician come out to inspect your switchboard and make the necessary repairs and ensure your switchboard is safe.

Switchboard Upgrades Switchboard Upgrades With all the different electronic devices, gadgets and appliances running in our homes today, older switchboards are having a hard time keeping up!

Hire a certified electrician to upgrade your switchboard and see how much easier it makes your life!

New Switchboard Installations New Switchboard Installations Whether you're building a new home or need an older style switchboard replaced, ensure your switchboard is installed by a licensed professional - post your switchboard installation job with Service Central and entrust your switchboard installation to a certified electrican.

Safety Switches Safety Switches All houses should have a safety switch installed in their switchboard to ensure the safety of your home and its occupents. Ensure your house has a safety switch installed and remember to test it regularly. If you don't have a safety switch or if your safety switch is faulty, ensure the installation or repairs are carried out by a certified electrician.

Circuit breaker and capacity upgrades Circuit breaker and capacity upgrades Older fuse boxes may not meet safety requirements or be up to for the capacity requirements of today. Replace or upgrade old circuit breakers and ensure your home is safe. Have your switchbox capacity upgraded to ensure that it isn't exceeding its capacity and putting you and your home at risk.

Ovens which are consistently overheating, ovens which don’t appear to turn on at all, ovens with bust lights or wonky doors and ovens which spread heat to neighbouring kitchen units are all common complaints. Here are three key steps for dealing with your issue.
