Switchboard upgrades
in Balwyn.

Interwar bungalows and 1950s brick houses in Balwyn often still have boards sized for a radio, a fridge and a few lights. Now they are asked to run reverse-cycle air conditioning, an induction cooktop and a car charger, sometimes all at once. We replace the old board with a modern one: circuit breakers, safety switches on the circuits that need them, and clear labels. We also look at the supply to the house, since a bigger board is only helpful if the wiring feeding it can carry the load. In larger homes with long runs and several sub-boards, we check that each sub-board is fed correctly and protected. Many owners ask us to leave spare ways for future circuits, which is sensible. The new board is tested, labelled and explained to you before we leave.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main switchboards page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Balwyn.
