A switchboard upgrade in Hawthorn replaces ceramic fuses in a period house with circuit breakers and safety switches, protecting the power and lighting circuits that older boards often leave bare.
Hawthorn 3122
Hawthorn has some of Melbourne's oldest suburban houses, and plenty were rewired once, long ago. That earlier job left ceramic fuses, or a board with no safety switches on the lighting and power circuits. Then came the kitchen renovation, a heat pump and a home office. The old board starts to struggle, and it is the weak link in an otherwise renovated home. We replace it with a modern board that has RCD protection on every circuit and circuit breakers instead of fuse wire. We label each one and leave you a clear layout. In period streets we keep any external work, such as meter box changes, as discreet as we can. Apartments are different again, with shared meters and limited unit boards. We check what your building allows before we plan anything. It is a safety job first and a capacity job second.
What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main switchboards page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Hawthorn.
Good work. Happy locals.

“Steve helped us out with some AC installs, a new switchboard and new circuits to enable a complete kitchen redo. He was able to start quickly and the work was done on time as promised. Would definitely hire again!”

FAQ

Ceramic fuse boards lack the safety switches modern homes need, and they struggle with today's loads. We inspect yours and explain what we find. In most cases, an upgrade to circuit breakers and RCDs is the right call.
