Switchboard Upgrade Perth
An old or overloaded switchboard is one of the most common causes of electrical faults and fire risk in Perth homes. Volt Hub Electrical upgrades switchboards across Perth's northern suburbs - replacing old fuses, adding safety switches, and making your board ready for modern loads like EV chargers, solar and air conditioning.
Signs your switchboard needs an upgrade
- Old ceramic or rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
- No safety switches (RCDs) protecting your circuits
- Power that trips often, or lights that flicker and dim
- A warm switchboard, buzzing, or a burning smell
- Not enough circuits for modern appliances
- Planning an EV charger, solar or air conditioning install
What's involved
We assess your existing board and electrical load, then supply and install a new switchboard with modern circuit breakers and RCD safety switches, correctly labelled and tested to WA standards. Most upgrades are completed in a day with minimal disruption.
Why it matters
A modern switchboard protects your family from electric shock and your home from electrical fires, while giving you the capacity to add the appliances and technology you want.
Areas we cover
Switchboard upgrades across Iluka, Joondalup, Wanneroo, Hillarys, Duncraig, Scarborough and the wider Perth metro.
