  • There are several reasons why you may need a switchboard upgrade:

    • If your switchboard is old or outdated, it may not be able to handle the electrical load of modern appliances and electronics. Upgrading to a newer switchboard can increase the capacity of your electrical system and prevent overloading and potential safety hazards.

    • If your switchboard has visible signs of wear and tear, such as frayed wiring or damaged components, it may be time to replace it. An old or damaged switchboard can be a safety hazard and could cause electrical issues in your home or building.

    • If you are planning a major renovation or extension of your home or building, you may need to upgrade your switchboard to accommodate the additional electrical needs.

  • It is essential to upgrade your switchboard every 10-15 years to ensure its optimal performance and safety. However, if you notice any warning signs like tripping breakers, flickering lights, or burning smells, it is advisable to seek professional assistance to upgrade your switchboard.
