Switchboard Upgrades in Pakenham
An old switchboard is one of the most common electrical risks in older homes. Cardinia Electrical replaces outdated fuse boards with modern switchboards across Pakenham and surrounding suburbs.
Signs your switchboard needs upgrading
It is worth getting your switchboard looked at if you notice any of the following:
- Old ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers
- Safety switches only on some circuits, or none at all
- Power tripping or fuses blowing regularly
- Buzzing, heat or a burning smell coming from the board
- No room left for new circuits
- You are adding an EV charger, solar, a battery, a split system or a new kitchen
What do you get with a new switchboard?
A switchboard upgrade from Cardinia Electrical includes a current limited main switch, a safety switch protecting every circuit, clearly labelled circuits, the board sealed with fire caulk, and a new earth stake where needed. You receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety when the job is done.
Do I need a new switchboard for an EV charger or solar?
Often, yes. EV chargers, solar inverters and batteries each need their own protected circuit, and many older boards have no room for them or are not safe to extend. If you are planning an EV charger, we check the switchboard at the same visit so it can all be done in one go.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most domestic switchboard upgrades are completed in a single day. The power has to be off while we change over the board, and we will let you know in advance how long to expect.
