Some older boards are mounted on backing panels that may contain asbestos. That does not make them dangerous on their own, but it does mean they should not be drilled or cut, and replacement needs the right approach. For the wider picture, including three-phase and commercial boards, see our page on switchboard upgrades across the Inner West.
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.
Marrickville has a mix of older houses, units and small industrial and commercial spaces, and we work across all of them. Marrickville has postcode 2204. Marrickville is in the Inner West Council area, and Ausgrid runs the local electricity network. We also work in nearby Dulwich Hill, Enmore, Newtown, Sydenham, St Peters, Petersham and Tempe.
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.
For shops and small businesses we plan the switchboard changeover around trading, so the time without power is kept as short as practical.
New kitchens, air conditioning and EV chargers often need extra capacity.
Repeated trips point to a fault or an overloaded circuit.
Older boards can sit on panels that may contain asbestos and need care.
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: Petersham, Dulwich Hill, Leichhardt.
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.
