Switchboard Upgrades
A switchboard is the main distribution point of electricity in your home. New switchboards are comprised of safety switches, which not only protect the circuit from overloading, they are also means of protection against electrocution. Older switchboards contain ceramic fuses, these are outdated and unsafe. If your switchboard contains ceramic fuses, then you are due for an upgrade. Our experienced and reliable electrical switchboard upgrade service in Melbourne will ensure that your family and home are always safe. If you live in Melbourne, contact us today for a free quote!
What is a Switchboard?
Switchboards are used to safely distribute electricity throughout residential and commercial applications. A switchboard is a component of an electrical distribution system which divides an electrical power feed into sub circuits while providing a protective RCBO (Safety Switch) for each circuit.
