Switchboard Upgrades & Repairs Perth
Your home’s switchboard (also called a fuse box or meter board) is the nerve centre of your electrical system. It distributes power to every circuit in your home and — critically — should protect you from electrical faults and fires through modern circuit breakers and safety switches. If your home still has an older-style ceramic fuse board, or if your switchboard is tripping frequently, you need to take action.
Prolite Power and Air carries out switchboard upgrades, repairs, and safety switch installations across Joondalup, Quinns Rocks, Yanchep, Scarborough, and Perth’s northern suburbs. Our work is fully compliant with WA regulations and Australian Standards, and every job comes with a Certificate of Electrical Compliance.
Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade
- Your home has ceramic or porcelain fuses (not circuit breakers)
- You have no safety switches (RCDs) on your switchboard
- Frequent circuit breaker tripping or blown fuses
- You're planning to install an EV charger, air conditioner, or solar system
- Your switchboard feels warm or makes buzzing sounds
- You've noticed flickering lights or unusual electrical smells
What is a Safety Switch (RCD)?
A Residual Current Device (RCD), commonly called a safety switch, is a life-saving device that monitors the flow of electricity in a circuit. If it detects a difference in current — which can indicate that electricity is flowing through a person — it cuts power in as little as 30 milliseconds. This is fast enough to prevent electrocution in most cases.
WA regulations (Electricity (Licensing) Regulations 1991) require safety switches on all power and lighting circuits in new homes and renovated properties. Many older homes still lack adequate RCD protection, leaving occupants at risk. Prolite Power and Air can install safety switches on your existing board or upgrade to a new board with full RCD protection.
Three-Phase Switchboard Upgrades
Properties with three-phase power supply require a three-phase switchboard. This is common in larger homes, properties with electric ducted air conditioning, commercial properties, and homes with large workshop or shed loads. Our electricians are experienced with both single-phase and three-phase switchboard upgrades and can handle any configuration.
