Ring 0421 772 661 for a written quote on your Croydon job.
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 Croydon homes are older family houses that need extra power and safer switchboards for modern appliances. Ausgrid runs the electricity network in Croydon. Croydon has postcode 2132. We also work in nearby Ashfield, Burwood, Croydon Park and Haberfield.
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.
Discolouration, buzzing or warmth at the board needs checking straight away.
New kitchens, air conditioning and EV chargers often need extra capacity.
Repeated trips point to a fault or an overloaded circuit.
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: Ashfield, Croydon Park, Dulwich Hill.
Switchboard work in NSW must be done by a licensed electrician and comply with AS/NZS 3000, the Wiring Rules. New and altered circuits need RCD protection rated at 30 mA or less.
