Switchboard Upgrades
Professional Switchboard Upgrades Across Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs
Your switchboard is the control centre of your home’s electrical system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or struggling to keep up with modern power demands, it’s not just inconvenient – it’s a safety risk. AVP Electrical Services provides professional switchboard upgrades across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, helping homeowners and businesses stay safe, compliant, and powered up.
WHEN DO YOU NEED A SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE?
Your home still has an older-style fuse box with ceramic or rewirable fuses
You’re installing solar panels, an EV charger, or an induction cooktop
Breakers are frequently tripping or fuses keep blowing
You’re planning a renovation or adding a new room or outbuilding
You’ve noticed burning smells, flickering lights, or warm power points
Your switchboard doesn’t have RCD (safety switch) protection
WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A SWITCHBOARD UPGRADE?
Our licensed electricians will assess your current switchboard, calculate your property’s electrical load requirements, and recommend the right upgrade. We install modern circuit breakers, RCDs (residual current devices), and surge protection where required – all compliant with Australian Standards.
We work cleanly and efficiently, minimising disruption to your day. All upgrade work is tested, inspected, and accompanied by the required compliance certificate.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?
The cost depends on the size of your property, the number of circuits, and what’s already in place. We provide free, no-obligation quotes so you’ll know exactly what’s involved before any work begins.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed in a single day. Larger or more complex properties may take longer. We’ll give you a clear timeframe when we quote the job.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade before installing solar?
Most solar installers require a switchboard compliant to today’s standards before they can connect your system. We work alongside solar companies across the eastern suburbs regularly.
Will the power be off during the upgrade?
Yes, there will be a period with the power off while we work on your switchboard. We’ll schedule this to minimise inconvenience and let you know exactly how long to expect.
Is a certificate of electrical safety provided?
Absolutely. All electrical work we carry out is accompanied by a Certificate of Electrical Safety as required by law in Victoria.
