Switchboard upgrades
in St Kilda West.

Big houses were wired for a different era. A few lights, a radiator and maybe an iron, not ducted heating, a dishwasher and a modern kitchen all running at once. That is why so many boards we meet in this part of St Kilda West are crowded, overheating or still using a fuse box with rewirable fuses. We test the existing circuits, then replace the board with circuit breakers and RCD protection on the circuits that need it. In the older flat blocks the board often lives in a cupboard on the landing, so we talk to the owners corporation about access first. Heritage overlays do not usually touch an internal board, but if the meter box faces the street we keep changes discreet. You get a labelled board, a compliance certificate and a clear explanation of what changed.

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