Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading? ▾
Common signs are old ceramic or rewireable fuses, frequent tripping, a board that buzzes or smells hot, or no RCD safety switches. If any of those sound familiar, it is worth getting it checked.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for a heat pump? ▾
Sometimes. If your board is old or full, it may need work to safely add a heat pump circuit. We will check this as part of your heat pump quote so there are no surprises.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take? ▾
Most domestic switchboard upgrades are done in a day, with the power off for only part of that. We will give you a clear timeframe when we quote.
