Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

Don't wait for a fault — these warning signs mean it's time to upgrade your electrical switchboard

🔌

Frequently Tripping Breakers

Circuits tripping regularly means your switchboard can't handle your home's electrical load.

⚡

Old Ceramic or Rewireable Fuses

These offer no RCD protection and are a serious fire and electrocution hazard in modern homes.

🔥

Burning Smell or Scorch Marks

Any burning smell or visible scorch marks near your switchboard requires immediate attention.

🏠

Buying or Selling a Home

An outdated switchboard can fail pre-sale electrical inspections and affect your property value.

🚁

Adding an EV Charger or Heat Pump

Modern appliances require additional dedicated circuits — your old board may not have capacity.

🕑

Home Built Before 1990

Homes over 35 years old often have switchboards that no longer meet NZ electrical safety standards.

Our breakers kept tripping and they came out the same day. Switchboard upgrade done quickly, everything labelled clearly. Would highly recommend to anyone in Christchurch.
