Planning a smart meter, an EV charger or just a safer board for the family? Blue Link Electrical Services upgrades switchboards in Lilyfield 2040, from Victorian and Federation cottages on the steep streets to interwar homes and newer townhouses. Switchboards are our main specialty, and Matthew, the owner and licensed electrician, quotes every job.

On this Lilyfield job the switchboard was upgraded to keep the family safer, prepared for a new smart meter, and a power point was added for plug-in EV charging.
A safer board helps protect the household. It is not an absolute guarantee against every electrical incident, and we won't pretend otherwise. See the Lilyfield switchboard project, and the wall-mounted EV charger we installed in Lilyfield.
Lilyfield sits between Callan Park and the City West Link, with Victorian and Federation cottages, semis and interwar homes on steep streets, and newer townhouses in pockets. About half the homes are separate houses (49.9% at the 2021 Census). What we find:
Preparing for a smart meter can mean more than waiting for the meter itself. Where the board has no room for the meter or the right fuses, the switchboard work comes first. For EV charging there are two options: a 15 A power point for a suitable plug-in charger, as on this job, or a hard-wired wall charger on its own circuit. See switchboard upgrades for an all-electric home.
A hot or burning board, or no power? Turn off the main switch if it is safe and call 0421 772 661. We are open 24/7. See emergency electrician Inner West.
A renovation, a sale, a rental or an insurer's request is often what prompts an upgrade. Replacing an old fuse box with circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs or RCBOs) is one of the more useful electrical upgrades for an older Lilyfield home, especially for homes still running ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers. Each circuit gets its own circuit breaker, with safety switch protection. It is also a straightforward electrical safety improvement buyers, tenants and insurers look for. Our electrical service covers the full job, from inspection to the CCEW, and every board meets current safety standards under AS/NZS 3000. We work across Lilyfield, Rozelle, Leichhardt, Annandale, Balmain, Haberfield, Petersham, Stanmore and Newtown.
Supply-side work, such as the service mains, point of attachment and metering, is level 1 and 2 work arranged through accredited partners, and we coordinate it with Ausgrid. See meter box upgrades.
Switchboard work in NSW must be done by a licensed electrician. Please don't replace fuse wire or breakers yourself.
It depends on the number of circuits, whether there is an asbestos backing board, whether the meter has to move and what you want to add. We give you a written quote before any work starts. Our switchboard upgrade cost guide explains what drives the price.
At the 2021 Census, Lilyfield had 7,641 residents in 3,328 private dwellings. Separate houses made up 49.9% of occupied homes, semis, terraces and townhouses 22.8%, and flats and apartments 27%; 36.1% were rented. (Source: ABS 2021 Census QuickStats, Lilyfield.) Lilyfield is in the Inner West Council area, and Ausgrid runs the local electricity network.
A switchboard upgrade for family safety, three 80 A MPD/SPD fuses fitted for a planned smart meter on the front of the board, and a 15 amp power point for a suitable plug-in EV charger.
Sometimes. If the board has no room or the meter panel is old, the switchboard work may need to be done first. We check and tell you.
No. A 15 A power point suits a suitable plug-in charger. A hard-wired wall charger is a separate installation on its own circuit.
We check spare capacity, room for the protection and the main cable size before quoting. Older boards with ceramic fuses usually need upgrading first.
A modern switchboard helps protect the household, but it is not an absolute guarantee against every electrical incident.
