Old-fashioned switchboards: if they are conforming to the prevalent Australian utility regulations, then it’s fine to keep using the same, but if they don’t, then replacement should be considered. Older switchboards or switch yards, over time, no doubt are designed in a way to withstand wear and tear, but that is not guaranteed for their lifetime; they may give way for any reason, leading to electrical disasters.
It is better to have them checked and replaced as soon as possible. Additionally, older main switchboards with ceramic fuses won’t meet the heavy power demands of today and sometimes don’t block the power surge by burning the thin wire; hence, replacing them is a good idea.

A switchboard upgrade will depend on the complexity of the job and whether or not any major electrical system changes will be required. However, the basic steps of a switchboard upgrade include:
The signs to look out for to know if your switchboard needs to be upgraded are:
How long a switchboard upgrade may take depends on the complexity of the job. It can take anywhere from three to eight hours to upgrade a switchboard.
Yes, our electricians do upgrade the switchboard for solar power installation. If your switchboard is incompatible with any solar power equipment, we can help by assessing your hardware and then removing and replacing all the necessary components.
The switchboard is the main, important electrical power supply controlling mechanism of your house. Keeping that running safely and efficiently is critical.
Single phase or multiple phase power supply lines consists of 2 wires in pairs that is the phase and a the neutrals which comes from the electricity pole or feeder box or the block transformer from the street and connects to the house’s main switchboard, in that the wires first connect to the isolating circuit breaker (MCB) then to the electricity meter thereafter to your house specific circuit breakers, RCCBs and from there on the wires connect to your appliances.
Safeguarding the entire electrical circuit along with the switchboard is essential to ensure uninterrupted safe power supply to your house. Circuit breakers and fuses are the safety switches ensuring you continue to safely run your appliances without getting zapped or worrying about short circuits.
The switchboard enclosure consists of the electricity meter from which your electricity board/power distributor takes the reading of your electricity consumption to bill you accurately; hence, the switchboard enclosure must be kept clean, hygienic and easily accessible.
If you have installed power-guzzling appliances like air conditioners or heaters, or recently renovated a house, overhauling of the entire electric circuit along with the switchboard must be considered. In any case, our licensed electricians are just one call away to help you with the matter.
Switchboard upgrade is meant to enhance the power load-bearing capacity to fulfill the power requirements of N number of appliances in the house, especially air conditioners, heating systems, and, of course, their centralized versions.
Listed below are the upgrades and replacements we do:-
Ceramic fuse to safety switch upgrade
Old-style main switchboards have ceramic fuses with highly resistant thin wires in between; they burn, causing a power outage in the event of a power surge. In today’s scenario, we replace them with highly efficient and safe modular circuit breakers or MCBs, the front lever of which trips down in the event of a power surge, causing a blackout; the power supply gets restored by resetting or pulling up the lever.
Single-phase to 3-phase upgrade
This kind of upgrade involves enhancing the power supply load to fulfill the super high power requirements of centralized HVAC systems. This upgrade is performed in the main switchboard itself.
Switchboard replacement with meter panel
If you’re living in a very old house, constructed before the 1990s, then you must have noticed the switchboard cum meter panel is within an asbestos enclosure, which has been outlawed, hence mandating an upgrade by the current Australian regulations, which only a licensed electrician will do.
Commercial switchboard upgrade
If you are running a business or commercial venture requiring appliances at your premises to run continuously without stopping, then the power load capacity needs to be increased by installing multiphase switchboards. These switchboards will withstand the power consumption of appliances like HVAC, lighting, and machinery.
In any case, for replacements and upgradation of switchboards and electrical circuits. Call our electricians, who would be more than happy to serve you.
If you notice problems with your switchboard resulting in power supply issues in your house, then, without wasting any more time, call the electricians of AML Air Conditioning and Electrical, who will execute the safest, most reliable, and most efficient installation and upgrades in line with your requirements.
