Switchboard upgrade work

Switchboard Upgrades

Modernise from an outdated fuse box to a safe, fully compliant switchboard with RCD protection. Protect your family and meet current electrical safety standards.

Common Issues

Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Old fuse boxes pose safety risks. Here's what we solve.

Frequent Tripping

Old fuses blow constantly as homes draw more power than 1970s systems allow.

Fire Risk

Fuse boxes lack modern safety devices. RCDs prevent electrocution and electrical fires.

No RCD Protection

Modern homes need RCD switches on power circuits. Fuse boxes don't have them.

Can't Add Circuits

No room to add new circuits for renovations, EV chargers, or air conditioning.

Insurance & Resale

Old systems complicate home sales, mortgages, and insurance claims.

Won't Support EVs

EV chargers need modern electrical infrastructure. Fuse boxes can't handle it.

"Craig Wilson and his apprentice Justin from Touchstone Electrical are so worthy of a 5 star google review! They have been to my place on three occasions now, fantastic work, punctual, reliable, professional,... and .... very reasonable priced! They even came at short notice to fix something before guests arrived. If all trades were as pleasant to deal with as Craig and Justin, the world would be a better place"
