Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s involved in upgrading a commercial switchboard?

    An upgrade includes removing the old board, installing a new one with the right circuit protection, reconfiguring circuits as needed, and testing everything for safety and compliance. It also includes clear labelling so future maintenance is straightforward.

  • Can switchboard upgrades be done without shutting down the business?

    Yes, in many cases. Often schedule upgrades can be done outside trading hours or during quieter periods. Temporary power solutions may also be used in some settings. They can work with you to plan a time that avoids disruption to your operations.

  • Are RCDs required on all commercial switchboards?

    Yes. Under Australian electrical standards, residual current devices (RCDs or safety switches) must be installed on certain circuits to protect against electric shock. Upgrading your switchboard is the ideal time to bring everything in line with current safety requirements.
