Switchboard Upgrades across Perth
Many older Perth homes still run on switchboards that were never designed for air-conditioners, induction cooktops and everything else we plug in today. Electra West replaces old boards with new enclosures, breakers and safety switches, labels every circuit, and tests the lot before we leave.
- Fuse-to-breaker upgrades — ceramic fuses replaced with modern circuit breakers.
- RCD safety switches — added so circuits cut out before anyone gets hurt.
- Meter box and main switch work — including new enclosures and plinths.
- Capacity for new loads — room for air-con, solar, batteries and EV chargers.
- Clear circuit labelling — so you know exactly what each breaker does.

Questions
Switchboard Upgrades FAQ
How do I know if I need a switchboard upgrade?
If your board still has ceramic fuses, has no RCD safety switches, trips often, or feels warm or buzzes, it's worth having it checked. A free quote will tell you what's needed.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most homes are done in a day, with the power off for part of it. We'll confirm the timing when we quote.
Do I need RCDs by law?
WA rules require RCD safety switches in homes, and on rental properties and homes being sold. We can check your board and tell you if it complies.
