Switchboard upgrades in Werribee and the west

We upgrade switchboards for homes and small businesses in Werribee, Point Cook, Tarneit, Hoppers Crossing, Wyndham Vale and the suburbs around them. An upgrade can mean swapping old fuses for circuit breakers and safety switches, or making room for new circuits. Under AS/NZS 3000, a replacement board needs a safety switch on every circuit.

Signs your switchboard needs upgrading

The clearest sign is ceramic fuses: white porcelain holders with fuse wire inside, instead of switches. If nothing on it has a TEST or T button, nothing on it cuts the power if someone gets a shock.

The other time it comes up is when you add something big. An EV charger, a split system or a renovation each needs a new circuit, and an old or full board may have nowhere to put one.

A board that feels warm, smells of burning or has scorch marks around a fuse or breaker needs looking at straight away. Turn the main switch off and ring us. If you can see smoke or flames, get everyone out and ring 000.

How a switchboard job gets priced

We open the board

We look at what’s on it, how many circuits it runs, and what you want to add.

You get a fixed price

One written price for the board, the safety switches, the testing and the certificate.

We change it over

Power off for the change, new board in, and everything tested before the power goes back on.

What a switchboard upgrade involves

Safety switches

RCDs and RCBOs are what most people call safety switches. They cut the power fast enough to stop a shock seriously hurting someone.

Circuit breakers

They replace the old fuses. When a circuit overloads, you flick it back on instead of rewiring a fuse.

Room for new circuits

Spare spaces on the board, so a new circuit can go on later without another upgrade.

Labelling

Every circuit written up for what it actually runs, so you know which switch does what.

Upgrading the supply from the street

Sometimes the supply coming into the house needs upgrading as well as the board. Powercor lists renovations, EV chargers and bigger air conditioners among the common reasons.

That includes going from single to three phase. Only a registered electrical contractor can apply to Powercor for it, and Powercor says most of these jobs take 3 to 8 weeks.

If you’re going all-electric and an EV charger is in your plans, the Victorian Government says it may be worth upgrading the board and the supply at the same time.

I was particularly impressed with his technical knowledge. He ran 6mm cabling to future-proof my setup and ensured the switchboard was correctly labelled and fitted with a high-quality RCD. Atul's work is incredibly clean and neat.

Really happy with the work. LED downlights, new powerpoints, motion sensor flood lights, smoke alarm replacement and RCBOs. Atul and his workmate were very professional and gave me clear explanation and advice on electrical safety.

Extremely happy with the service from Elecsure and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional electrician. We engaged them for a number of electrical upgrades around our home, including LED stair lighting, chandelier installation and smart switch installation, and the quality of their workmanship was excellent throughout. Everything was completed neatly, professionally and to a very high standard, while their pricing was also very reasonable. What impressed me most was that they went beyond simply completing the work we had requested. They noticed a few issues with some of the existing switches that had been installed incorrectly by the builder’s electricians and took the time to rectify them as well. They genuinely came across as a trusted advisor rather than someone simply there to complete a job. Their after-service was equally impressive. We noticed a small issue afterwards and, despite the very short notice, they came back within just 2–3 hours to sort it out. That level of responsiveness and commitment to their work is rare and very much appreciated. Professional, knowledgeable, trustworthy, reasonably priced and genuinely focused on doing the job properly. We are extremely pleased with the overall experience and will definitely use Elecsure again for any future electrical work. Highly recommended!

Excellent service from start to finish! The whole transaction was very smooth and hassle-free. Communication was great, they arrived as arranged, and the work was completed professionally and neatly. They installed our new linear island light and made sure everything was set up exactly how we wanted it. Very happy with the result and the overall experience. Reliable, efficient and easy to deal with — highly recommend!

I recently had ElecSure Electrical Pty Ltd replace my existing light switches with smart switches, and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The installation was completed professionally, and everything was done neatly and efficiently. He took the time to ensure everything was working perfectly before leaving and explained how to use the new smart switches. Great workmanship, reliable service, and attention to detail. I highly recommend ElecSure Electrical Pty Ltd to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and trustworthy electrician.

Atul did an outstanding job installing my EV charger, replacing several smart switches, and completing a number of other electrical works around my home. He was punctual, professional, and genuinely friendly throughout. What impressed me most was the care he put into every detail. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, never rushed the job, and made sure everything was done properly. His workmanship was exceptionally neat and tidy, and it honestly felt like he was working on his own home. It’s rare to find someone who takes such pride in their work while also being so easy to deal with. Thank you, Atul, for a fantastic job. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled electrician.

Along with outstanding service, Atul offered competitive pricing without sacrificing quality. It’s rare to find someone who blends expertise, reliability, and affordability so effectively. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a trustworthy and highly skilled electrician.

ElecSure electrician working inside an open switchboard

The certificate you get

Board work gets tested, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued for it. It’s the legal record of the work and who did it, and it’s yours to keep.

Replacing a main switchboard is prescribed work, so an independent Licensed Electrical Inspector has to check it as well. We organise that inspection.

Swapping one breaker or safety switch for an equivalent one in the same spot isn’t prescribed, so it doesn’t need the inspector. We’ll tell you on the visit which way your job goes.

Frequently asked questions

Does my switchboard need upgrading?

Not always. If it has safety switches, spare room and no damage, it can stay. We look first and say so. We don’t sell boards to people who don’t need one.

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

It depends on your board and what it needs, so we can’t put a figure on it until we’ve seen it.

What’s the difference between a fuse and a safety switch?

A fuse protects the wiring from overload. A safety switch protects the person.

Can you upgrade the board without rewiring the house?

Yes. The board and the wiring are separate. If we find something in the wiring while we’re testing, we tell you, but a board upgrade doesn’t mean a rewire.

What is an RCBO?

It’s a safety switch and a circuit breaker in one unit, on one circuit. It means a fault on your kitchen circuit trips only the kitchen, instead of taking out half the house like an older shared safety switch does.

Can I upgrade my switchboard myself?

No. A switchboard has to be changed by a licensed electrician, and Energy Safe Victoria says doing your own electrical work is illegal as well as dangerous.

Can safety switches be added to my old board?

Yes, if there’s room on it and it’s in good condition. One safety switch can cover up to three circuits, or each circuit can have its own RCBO. A full or damaged board may need work first.
