WHY YOU NEED A SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE

Old switchboards, particularly those with outdated fuses, may not meet modern electrical safety standards and may struggle to cope with today’s electrical demands. Here’s why upgrading your switchboard is important:

  • Improved Safety: Older switchboards can pose serious safety risks, including the potential for electrical fires or shocks. A switchboard upgrade ensures your electrical system is safe and complies with New Zealand regulations.
  • Meet Modern Power Demands: With more appliances and devices in use today, older switchboards may not be able to handle the increased electrical load. Upgrading your switchboard ensures your system can meet your power requirements.
  • Prevent Electrical Faults: Faulty switchboards can cause frequent power outages, tripped circuit breakers, and overloaded circuits. Upgrading helps prevent these issues and ensures the smooth operation of your electrical system.
  • Compliance with Safety Standards: New Zealand’s electrical safety standards require modern switchboards to include safety switches (RCDs) to protect against electrical shocks. An upgrade ensures your property is compliant with current regulations.
  • Support for Future Upgrades: If you’re planning to install solar panels, electric vehicle (EV) chargers, or additional circuits, a switchboard upgrade will ensure your electrical system can handle these future expansions.

PROFESSIONAL SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE SERVICES

At Endeavour, we specialise in upgrading switchboards to meet modern safety standards and electrical demands. Our team of licensed electricians will assess your current switchboard and recommend the best upgrade solution for your home or business.

  • Fuse Box Upgrades: If your home still has an old fuse box, we can replace it with a modern switchboard equipped with circuit breakers and RCDs (residual current devices) for enhanced safety and performance.

  • Safety Switch (RCD) Installation: Safety switches protect you from electrical shocks by automatically cutting off power when a fault is detected. We install RCDs in all upgraded switchboards to meet current safety standards.

  • Three-Phase Switchboard Upgrades: If your property requires more power for high-energy appliances, such as industrial equipment or EV chargers, we offer three-phase switchboard upgrades to accommodate larger electrical loads.

  • Circuit Breaker Upgrades: Circuit breakers are a safer, more efficient alternative to old-style fuses. We install modern circuit breakers in your upgraded switchboard to ensure safe and reliable power distribution.

  • Comprehensive Electrical Inspections: As part of our switchboard upgrade service, we inspect your entire electrical system to identify any underlying issues and ensure everything is safe and compliant.

SIGNS YOU NEED A SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE

If your switchboard is outdated or struggling to cope with your electrical demands, it’s important to consider an upgrade. Here are some common signs that it may be time for a switchboard upgrade:

  • Frequent Power Outages or Tripped Circuits: If your circuit breakers or fuses trip frequently, it’s a sign that your switchboard may not be able to handle your current electrical load.
  • Old Fuse Box with Ceramic Fuses: If your home or business still has an old fuse box with ceramic fuses, it’s time to upgrade to a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and RCDs for improved safety.
  • Burning Smell or Discoloured Switchboard: A burning smell, sparks, or discolouration around your switchboard indicates an electrical fault, which could lead to fire risks. A switchboard upgrade can prevent this.
  • Addition of High-Powered Appliances: If you’ve recently added high-powered appliances like air conditioning, EV chargers, or electric ovens, your switchboard may need an upgrade to handle the extra load.
  • Home Renovations or Extensions: If you’re renovating or adding an extension to your home, upgrading your switchboard ensures your electrical system can accommodate the increased demand.

BENEFITS OF UPGRADING YOUR SWITCHBOARD

Upgrading your switchboard offers several advantages that improve the safety, efficiency, and reliability of your electrical system:

  • Enhanced Safety: Modern switchboards with RCDs and circuit breakers protect your home or business from electrical faults, reducing the risk of fires and electrical shocks.
  • Greater Capacity: A new switchboard can handle higher electrical loads, allowing you to use more appliances and devices without overloading your system.
  • Energy Efficiency: Upgraded switchboards improve the efficiency of your electrical system, helping to reduce power wastage and lower your energy bills.
