We Specialise In Switchboard Upgrades and Installation in Sydney
What Is a Switchboard and Why Does It Matter?
Your switchboard is the central point where electricity from the main grid gets distributed to every circuit in your property. Whether it’s your lights, power points, or appliances – everything runs through it.
Old switchboards with porcelain fuses or no safety switches increase the risk of:
Electrical fires
Power surges
Electrocution
Modern switchboards include safety switches (RCDs) and circuit breakers, meeting Australian safety standards. If your system is outdated, give us a call. We’ll make sure your home or business stays safe and compliant.
Because switchboards play a central role in transmitting power, Australian electrical standards require safety switches on all modern switchboards. If you’re planning any electrical work, proper compliance is essential.
What’s Included in Our Switchboard Upgrade & Installation Service?
When we upgrade or install a switchboard, we don’t just swap it out and call it a day—we take care of the whole lot:
Safely ditching the old setup
Adding new safety switches and circuit breakers
Installing surge protection
Fixing any electrical defect notices
Making sure the new board is neat, compliant, and ready for whatever the future throws at it
We work with flush or surface-mounted switchboards in all sorts of sizes—just depends on how many circuits you’re running. Before we get started, we’ll do a full check of your current setup, how much power you’ll need down the track, and where everything’s going. If you’re planning on adding outdoor power points, see our cost to install outdoor powerpoints for pricing details.
Keen to know what it might cost? We’ve broken it all down in our guide on switchboard upgrade pricing. If your board issues stem from ageing wiring, see our rewire cost guide.
Ready to get sorted? Give us a buzz and we’ll line up a compliant, modern switchboard install for your place—home or business, we’ve got it covered.

After having other electricians try and solve my problem lights, Ali had it fixed first time, no fuss. He was on time, and had everything he needed to get the job done. I would recommend Fox Electricians to everyone!
Russell Jeffery
3am emergency call out on Christmas… absolute champion for getting the lights up. Will definitely be contacting him for any future needs!!
Fatima Bachir
Absolute legend. Had a fan trip the power in my apartment, tried my fuse box but still no power. Ali talked me through finding the mains fuses for the building and turning the power on. Awesome service and did all this for free, so definitely trustworthy which is a rare thing these days.
Once again, legend.

Do You Need a New Switchboard? Here’s How to Know
If you’re seeing any of these signs, it’s time to talk to us:
Circuit breakers keep tripping
Lights flicker regularly
The board smells burnt or feels hot
You’re using double adapters or power boards excessively

We’ll inspect your current setup and give you honest advice about whether an upgrade is needed.
Why Upgrading an Old Switchboard Is Critical
Old electrical switchboards:
May contain asbestos panels
Often lack safety switches
Are prone to short-circuiting and overloads
Pose serious fire and electrocution risks
New switchboards:
Prevent circuit overloads
Protect against electrical faults
Comply with NSW safety regulations
Can support solar systems, EV chargers, and future tech
