From $980 + GST standard upgrade
Why so many Ballarat homes need a new switchboard
A large share of Ballarat's housing was built long before safety switches were required. Many of these homes still run on the original fuse board, sometimes with asbestos backing, and with no protection against electric shock.
On top of that, modern homes ask a lot more of a switchboard than they used to. Split systems, induction cooktops, EV chargers and solar inverters all need dedicated circuits and spare capacity that an old board simply does not have.
Upgrading replaces the old fuses with circuit breakers, adds RCD safety switches across your circuits, and gives you room to grow. It is one of the most worthwhile safety improvements you can make to an older home.

What affects the price
Switchboard upgrades start from $980 + GST for a standard single-phase home. The final price depends on how many circuits you have, how many safety switches are needed, whether the old board has asbestos backing that needs safe removal, whether the meter panel or mains need work, and whether you are moving to three-phase. We always quote in writing first.
