Old fuses, a breaker that keeps tripping, or a board with no room for the new kitchen? Blue Link Electrical Services upgrades, replaces and repairs switchboards in Annandale 2038, from Victorian terraces and semis along Johnston Street and Booth Street to units and small shops on Parramatta Road. Matthew, the owner and licensed electrician, quotes every job.
Call 0421 772 661 for a written quote. We are open 24/7 for switchboard emergencies.
On a recent Annandale job we fitted a new Hager switchboard with a main switch and a row of circuit breakers, every circuit labelled at the board. Each circuit was tested before and after the change, every final subcircuit was given RCD protection as the current Wiring Rules require, and the finished board was tested and certified with a CCEW. See the Hager switchboard upgrade in Annandale.
We install the major brands, including Hager, Clipsal, ABB, NHP and Eaton.
Not every old board needs replacing. We check your existing board and tell you straight:
A repair or addition may be enough when the board already has circuit breakers and RCDs or RCBOs, there is spare space, and the problem is a single faulty breaker, a loose connection, a failed safety switch or one extra circuit.
An upgrade is the better fix when you see any of these:
Our guide to the signs you need a switchboard upgrade goes through each of these with photos.
We repair switchboard faults too: breakers that won't reset, safety switches that trip for no obvious reason, loose or overheating connections, damaged enclosures and missing covers. Many tripping problems are an appliance or a damp circuit rather than the board, so we find the cause first. Read why your safety switch keeps tripping and buzzing switchboards. If the repair would leave you with an unsafe or non-compliant board, we tell you and quote the upgrade as an option, not a surprise.
Many Annandale terraces have the board and meter on one panel at the front of the house or in the hallway, sometimes in a timber cupboard. When the board changes, the meter panel, the consumer mains and the point of attachment are checked too. We can prepare the board for a smart meter, as on our Lilyfield smart meter job.
Work on the supply side of the main switch, including the service line, metering, consumer mains and Ausgrid connection, is level 1 and 2 work arranged through accredited partners, and we coordinate it as part of your job. See meter box upgrades.
Switchboards are our top specialty for businesses too. We upgrade single-phase and three-phase boards for Annandale shops, cafes, restaurants, offices and studios, and plan the changeover around trading so the time without power is kept as short as practical. See three-phase power installation.
In NSW, switchboard work must be done by a licensed electrician, it must comply with AS/NZS 3000, and you must receive a CCEW. DIY work on a switchboard is illegal and dangerous, and it can affect your insurance. You can check our licence (332956C) with NSW Fair Trading. There is no law forcing you to replace a working fuse board on its own, but any new or altered circuit must be RCD protected, which is why renovations usually trigger an upgrade.
We quote every job in writing and do not publish prices. A quote depends on the number of circuits, the enclosure and where it sits, RCBOs on every circuit or a smaller number of RCDs, any asbestos backing board, the condition of the cabling, earthing and mains, single or three-phase supply, and any supply-side work, which is level 1 and 2 work arranged through accredited partners. See what affects switchboard upgrade cost.
Not by law on its own. But if it has ceramic fuses or no safety switches, it does not protect people from electric shock, and any new circuit will need RCD protection anyway.
We can replace a damaged fuse carrier or fix a loose connection, but we will not add new circuits to a board that can't be made compliant. We will explain the options in writing.
