Electrical Switchboard Upgrade – Protect Your Home & Stay Compliant

Safe, reliable, and affordable electrical switchboard upgrades for homes and businesses across Melbourne.

Upgrade Your Switchboard with Melbourne’s Trusted Electricians

Is your property fitted with an old, outdated fuse box? You could be putting your safety — and your power supply — at serious risk. At AAA Electrical & Solar, we specialise in professional electrical switchboard upgrades for Melbourne homes, businesses, and investment properties.

 

An upgraded switchboard ensures your electrical system can handle today’s energy demands safely and efficiently, while protecting you from fire hazards, electrocution, and system failures.

Why You Might Need an Electrical Switchboard Upgrade

Older switchboards simply weren’t designed to support the modern lifestyle. With the rise of air conditioners, solar systems, electric vehicles, and smart devices, your wiring and switchboard must keep up with higher energy loads.

Here are common signs you may need a switchboard upgrade:

Frequent Tripping of Circuit Breakers

If your power frequently trips when you use multiple appliances, it’s a strong sign your switchboard cannot manage the load safely.

Flickering Lights or Power Outages

Lights that flicker or dim when you turn on appliances suggest an overloaded or faulty switchboard that needs urgent attention.

Fuses Instead of Safety Switches

Old fuse boxes don’t offer the same level of protection as modern switchboards fitted with safety switches, which automatically shut off power in case of a fault, reducing the risk of electrical fires and injury.

Buzzing Noises or Burning Smells

Any strange sounds or smells near your switchboard must be investigated immediately. These can indicate dangerous wiring issues or overheating.

What’s Involved in an Electrical Switchboard Upgrade?

When you book a switchboard upgrade with AAA Electrical & Solar, you’re getting more than just a quick swap. We complete a full safety inspection of your existing system before installing a modern switchboard that complies with the latest Victorian standards.

Our service includes:

  • Removal and safe disposal of the old fuse box or switchboard
  • Installation of a new switchboard fitted with circuit breakers and safety switches
  • Testing and certification to confirm compliance and safety
  • Labelling of circuits for easy identification
  • Advice on future-proofing your system for additional loads like solar panels or electric vehicle chargers

All work is carried out by fully licensed and insured electricians, with minimal disruption to your home or business.
