Switchboard upgrades for Shortland homes

With established 1970s–80s brick homes common around Shortland, older ceramic fuse boards and switchboards missing safety switches are something we see regularly here. We upgrade boards to current AS/NZS 3000 standards — RCBOs, surge protection and proper circuit separation, fixed-price.

Some of the lower-lying streets near the wetlands see more dampness affecting older switchboards, so we check enclosure condition closely here.

FAQs

Common questions

How common are old switchboards in Shortland?+

Some of the lower-lying streets near the wetlands see more dampness affecting older switchboards, so we check enclosure condition closely here. Worth a check if yours hasn't been touched in a while.

Is a safety switch legally required?+

Safety switches are required on all circuits in rental properties in NSW, and strongly recommended for every home. It's one of the most common compliance gaps we're called out for.

Can you upgrade my switchboard before I install an EV charger in Shortland?+

Yes — we check switchboard capacity as standard whenever we quote an EV charger install, and can handle both jobs in the one visit if an upgrade's needed.

How far out of Shortland do you travel for this kind of job?+

Shortland is around 8 minutes from Wallsend, and we regularly cover the surrounding area including Wallsend, Sandgate and Fern Bay on the same trip.
