Professional switchboard upgrades for Melbourne homes
Your switchboard is at the centre of your home’s electrical system. When an older board is no longer suitable for the circuits, protection, or electrical demand of the property, an upgrade can bring the installation up to the current requirements relevant to the work being completed.
Allan Electrics regularly completes switchboard upgrades for homeowners renovating, resolving electrical faults, replacing old ceramic fuse boxes, or preparing their electrical system for higher-load additions such as air conditioning, EV chargers, solar, and batteries.
Our switchboard work includes:
- Ceramic fuse box replacements
- Full switchboard upgrades
- Safety switches/RCDs and RCBOs
- Single-phase switchboards
- Three-phase switchboards
- Main switch and circuit protection upgrades
- Upgrades for EV chargers, air conditioning, solar, and batteries
- Fault finding and rectification of switchboard issues
We can assess your existing board, explain what needs attention, and provide a fixed-price quote for the agreed work before we proceed.

Does your switchboard need an upgrade?
You do not need to wait for a complete failure before getting your switchboard checked. Ceramic fuses, frequent tripping, limited circuit space, or an older board struggling with modern electrical demands are all good reasons to arrange an assessment.
It may be time to arrange an assessment if:
- Your home still has old ceramic fuses or an older fuse box
- There are no safety switches, or RCD protection is inadequate
- Circuits or the switchboard are repeatedly tripping
- You need more circuits but there is no room in the existing board
- You are renovating or completing a major electrical upgrade
- You are adding an EV charger, air conditioning, solar, or batteries
- The existing board is no longer suitable for the property’s electrical demand
- An electrical inspection has identified safety or compliance issues
Not every electrical fault means the entire switchboard needs replacing. Our electricians can inspect the installation and explain what work is required before you commit to an upgrade.
What’s included in a switchboard upgrade?
The exact scope depends on your existing installation, the number of circuits, whether the property has single- or three-phase supply, and any faults that are identified.
A typical Allan Electrics switchboard upgrade can include:
- Removal of existing fuse box or switchboard equipment
- Supply and installation of new switchboard equipment
- Individual RCBO protection where required
- Main switch upgrade where required
- Circuit identification and clear labelling
- Electrical testing of the installation
- Testing of RCD and RCBO operation
- Work required to make the installation compliant with current requirements relevant to the agreed works
- Required electrical compliance certificate
- Removal and disposal of old equipment
- A clean work area when the job is finished
If we find an existing fault or additional electrical issue that falls outside the agreed switchboard upgrade, we will discuss it with you before carrying out additional work.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Common reasons to have a switchboard assessed include old ceramic fuses, insufficient RCD protection, repeated tripping, a lack of room for additional circuits, or an older board that no longer suits the electrical demand of the home. An upgrade may also be required when adding equipment such as an EV charger, air conditioning, solar, or batteries.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?
The cost depends on the existing switchboard, the number of circuits, whether the property has single- or three-phase supply, and whether existing faults or additional work are identified. Allan Electrics provides free quotes and can give you a fixed-price quote for the agreed scope before work commences.
Can you replace an old ceramic fuse box?
Yes. Ceramic fuse box replacements are one of the switchboard services Allan Electrics provides. We can assess the existing equipment and determine what is required for the proposed upgrade.
Do you install safety switches and RCBOs?
Yes. Switchboard upgrades can include safety switches/RCDs and individual RCBO protection where required. The exact protection needed will depend on the existing installation and the scope of work.
Can my switchboard be upgraded for an EV charger, solar, battery, or air conditioning?
Yes. Allan Electrics carries out switchboard upgrades required for new high-load installations including EV chargers, air conditioning, solar, and batteries. We can assess whether the existing board and available circuit capacity are suitable for the planned installation.
What happens if you find other electrical faults?
If we identify faults or existing electrical issues outside the agreed switchboard upgrade, we will explain them and discuss the additional work with you before proceeding. Additional work is not simply added to the original scope without approval.
