A modern board gives each circuit proper overload protection and adds safety switches (RCDs or RCBOs) that cut power in a fraction of a second if current leaks to earth. For the wider picture, including three-phase and commercial boards, see our page on switchboard upgrades across the Inner West.
Many older Sydney homes still run on ceramic rewireable fuses, with no safety switch protecting the circuits. Those boards were never designed for air conditioners, induction cooktops, EV chargers and a house full of electronics.
Croydon Park work is mostly houses and units, with some small businesses. Ausgrid runs the electricity network in Croydon Park. Croydon Park has postcode 2133. We also work in nearby Croydon, Enfield, Ashbury, Belfield and Burwood.
Older free-standing houses have often been extended more than once, with new circuits added to an old board. An upgrade is a chance to sort out and label every circuit.
In units the switchboard is usually inside the apartment, with the main supply and meter in a common area controlled by the strata. We work on the unit board and tell you if anything needs the strata's involvement.
Older boards can sit on panels that may contain asbestos and need care.
A full board means new circuits have nowhere to go.
If you are still replacing fuse wire, the board is due for a look.
When you call 0421 772 661, we talk through the job, give you a written quote, do the work to AS/NZS 3000 and test it before we leave. The full process is on our switchboard upgrades page. Nearby suburbs with their own page for this service: Croydon, Ashfield, Dulwich Hill.
Notifiable electrical work comes with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW). Work on the service mains or meter is level 1 and 2 work arranged through accredited partners, and we will tell you up front if your job needs it.

Separate houses are the most common type of home in Croydon Park, at 47.5% of occupied dwellings in 2021. Older houses often still have their original switchboard, sometimes with ceramic fuses. Upgrading to a modern board with safety switches makes room for new circuits such as air conditioning or an EV charger.
