Why You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

Older switchboards often rely on outdated ceramic fuses and lack crucial safety mechanisms. If your property has not had an electrical switchboard upgrade, you may be at risk of power failures, fire hazards, and insurance non-compliance.

Improved Safety – New switchboards feature safety switches that reduce the risk of electrical shocks and fires.
Compliance with Australian Standards – Upgrading ensures your property meets AS3000 wiring regulations.
Prevents Overloading – Essential for homes with modern appliances, air conditioning, and EV chargers.
Reduced Insurance Risks – Many insurance policies require homes to have compliant switchboards to remain covered.
Minimises Power Disruptions – Each circuit is individually protected, reducing widespread power failures.

If you're experiencing flickering lights, tripped circuits, or outdated wiring, it’s time for a switchboard upgrade.

Testimonials

We had a great experience with this company and our allocated electrician. He was funny, helpful, and knew his craft. The work was done within the timeframe, work 'mess' cleaned up, and excellent communication. I would highlight recommend them!

Stephanie

I used bizelec for the electrical work while getting our kitchen renovated which where the trades that Kitchen Connection uses. I was very happy with their service and workmanship! Lovely bunch of guys and even afterwards contacted Will when our power went out. He talked me through what to do and all was fixed. I will definitely be hiring bizelec again for any electrical work needed in the future!!

Linda

We had Bizelec doing all the electrical works as part of our Kitchen renovations as well as other electrical work around the house. Matt the electrician was excellent. Nothing was too much to ask and he executed the job perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt or Bizelec to anyone based on the quality of work and the service I received. What a pleasure doing this renovation with this company.
