Switchboard Upgrades — FAQs

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

A straightforward domestic switchboard upgrade typically costs around $800–$2,000 installed, including modern circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs). Asbestos backing panels, relocating the board, or consumer-mains upgrades push it higher — get an itemised quote.

Do I need to upgrade my switchboard?

Strong signs you do: ceramic plug-in fuses, no safety switches, frequent tripping or flickering, or any DIY-looking wiring. Safety switches on all circuits are now required in new work across Australia because they prevent fatal shocks — an old board without them is worth upgrading even before it fails.

What's the difference between a circuit breaker and a safety switch?

A circuit breaker protects the wiring from overload; a safety switch (RCD) protects people by cutting power in milliseconds when current leaks — for example through a person. Modern boards combine both (RCBOs). Older homes often have breakers or fuses but no RCD protection at all.
