Switchboard upgrades
in Port Melbourne.

A cottage near Bay Street often has an original or lightly updated board, squeezed into a small cupboard or a meter box on the front wall. Over the years, extra circuits get added for an extension or a new heater, and the board fills up. When an owner asks about an oven or a charger, the answer is often that the board has no room. We replace the panel with a modern one, fit RCD protection on the circuits that need it and label each breaker clearly. In an apartment, the situation is different: the unit board is yours, but the main supply belongs to the building, so we work within what the owners corporation allows. The Garden City homes are generally sturdier, though some still have older porcelain-fuse boards. Afterwards we hand over a list of what each circuit does. Once we know who owns what, a switchboard upgrade in Port Melbourne is simple.
