Switchboard Upgrades — recent work by Ingot Electrics

An ageing switchboard is one of the most common electrical safety hazards in Australian homes. Older fuse-based boards lack the protection modern homes need — particularly with the rise of high-draw appliances like induction cooktops, EV chargers, and air conditioning systems.

We specialise in upgrading domestic and commercial switchboards throughout Melbourne’s north-east. Every job starts with a full assessment of your existing setup — we’ll tell you exactly what needs to change and why, with no upselling.

All our switchboard upgrades are completed to AS/NZS 3000 standards and include a Certificate of Electrical Safety. Whether your board is in a 1970s brick veneer in Eltham or a commercial premises in Bundoora, we’ll leave it neat, clearly labelled, and built to last.

Common Questions

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most domestic upgrades take 4–6 hours. Larger homes or commercial boards may take a full day. We'll give you a time estimate with your quote.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade?

Common signs include tripping breakers, flickering lights, a fuse-based board (with ceramic fuses rather than switches), or if you're adding high-draw appliances like an EV charger or induction cooktop.

Will my power be off during the upgrade?

Yes — the power to your property will be off for the duration of the work. We work as efficiently as possible to minimise downtime, and we'll let you know the expected timeframe upfront.

Is a switchboard upgrade required by law?

Victorian regulations require safety switches on all circuits in new builds and major renovations. If you're selling, renting, or undertaking significant electrical work, an upgrade is often required.

What's Included

  • Full switchboard assessment and report
  • Removal of old fuse-based or outdated equipment
