When to Upgrade Your Switchboard
There are several signs that your switchboard may need upgrading. If your power frequently trips, lights flicker or fuses blow often, your system may be struggling to cope with your household’s electrical load. Older switchboards with ceramic fuses or no safety switches are not only outdated—they can pose serious fire and safety risks.
Homes built before the 1990s often weren’t designed to handle today’s appliances,
air conditioning systems and
smart technology. If you're renovating, adding new circuits, or installing solar, a switchboard upgrade may be essential for compliance and performance.
At Watkins Electrical, we can assess your current switchboard and provide expert advice on whether an upgrade is needed to keep your home safe, efficient and up to standard.

FAQs
What does a switchboard do?
A switchboard distributes electricity throughout your home and protects circuits with safety switches or circuit breakers. It’s essential for the safe operation of your electrical system.
How do I know if my switchboard is outdated?
If your switchboard uses ceramic fuses, lacks safety switches or is over 20 years old, it’s likely outdated and may not meet current safety standards.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most upgrades are completed in one day. We work efficiently and ensure minimal disruption to your power supply and daily routine.
