When to Upgrade Your Switchboard

Knowing when to act is important for safety and efficiency. There are common warning signs that show when switchboard upgrades in Perth should be considered. Here are five signs to look out for:


  1.  Frequent Tripping: Circuits that constantly trip signal your board cannot handle demand.
  2.  Flickering Lights: Lights that dim or flicker suggest overloaded or faulty wiring.
  3.  Burning Smells: A burning odour near the switchboard indicates overheating or damage.
  4.  Outdated Fuses: Old fuse systems lack the protection of modern circuit breakers.
  5.  Excessive Heat: A switchboard that feels hot to touch is unsafe and needs attention.


These signs should never be ignored, as they can lead to hazards and costly damage. Call us at Quik Fire Electrical today to book your professional switchboard inspection and upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How often should switchboards be inspected?

    Switchboards should be inspected every few years, or sooner in older properties. Regular inspections help detect wear, loose wiring, or outdated components. For businesses, inspections may need to be more frequent due to higher power usage. Routine checks ensure compliance with safety standards and prevent potential hazards from arising.

  • What is the difference between fuses and circuit breakers?

    Fuses melt to stop current flow when overloaded, while circuit breakers trip and can be reset. Circuit breakers are safer, more reliable and easier to maintain. Older switchboards often still use fuses, which increase fire risk. Replacing them with circuit breakers enhances safety and meets modern electrical regulations.

  • Can an old switchboard increase fire risk?

    Yes, old switchboards can overheat or fail under modern electrical loads, significantly increasing fire risk. Outdated fuses or wiring may not cope with today’s appliances and demand. Upgrading reduces hazards, improves compliance with Australian standards, and provides better protection against dangerous electrical faults that could cause serious damage.
