Switchboards & Upgrades

We Provide Switchboard Upgrades in Newcastle

Installing, upgrading, repairing & replacing switchboards.

The switchboard is the centre of a property’s electrical network. Electricity travels from the street to the switchboard and out through various circuits. At powered by jbes, we’ll ensure your switchboard can handle the required electrical currents, whether you run a commercial kitchen or own a residential property. Our electricians provide switchboard upgrades, installations and repairs for customers in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Maitland and Port Stephens.

Often older homes don’t have safety switches or surge protectors installed on all their electrical circuits, which means you could be at risk of electrical shocks. It is now a building regulation to have safety switches installed on all power and lighting circuits. If you have concerns about your switchboard or need it upgraded, simply give us a call on 1300 00 JBES.

Switchboards can become damaged for several reasons, and if you notice any of the following you should give us a call as soon as possible:

Sparks coming from outlets
Melted or blackened outlets
Flickering lights
Burning smell coming from appliances
The circuit frequently trips
Your switchboard looks overcrowded

Switchboard upgrades vary from house to house depending on the age and design of a property. Regardless of where you live or the business you run, our electricians will upgrade your ceramic fuses with modern RCDs and circuit breakers and ensure your entire system is running smoothly.
