Switchboard Upgrade FAQs
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
If your switchboard still has ceramic fuses, trips often, has no safety switch (RCD), or shows signs of burning, it’s time to upgrade. Older switchboards may not handle the power demands of modern homes and can be a fire risk.
How long does a switchboard replacement take?
Most residential switchboard replacements take around 3–6 hours, depending on the complexity of your electrical system.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost in Hamilton?
Costs vary depending on the size of the switchboard, the number of circuits, and any extra wiring work required. We offer free, no-obligation quotes so you’ll know the price upfront.
Do you install safety switches (RCDs)?
Yes. All new switchboard installations include safety switches to protect you from electric shock and meet NZ regulations.
Do you offer switchboard upgrades for commercial properties?
Absolutely. We handle both residential and commercial electrical systems in Hamilton and surrounding areas.
