Frequently Asked Questions
What are the signs that a switchboard needs upgrading?
Indicators include overheating, flickering lights, recurring circuit trips or insufficient capacity for current equipment. Other signs might be the absence of safety features like RCDs, or visible signs of wear such as corrosion or exposed cabling. Older switchboards may also be incompatible with smart metering or automation. A licensed electrician can assess the condition and advise on next steps.
How often should commercial switchboards be inspected or replaced?
Switchboards in commercial or industrial settings should be inspected regularly, typically every 1–2 years, depending on usage and environment. Factors such as heat, dust, humidity or high electrical loads may require more frequent checks. Full replacement is usually recommended when systems become non-compliant, overloaded or outdated. Preventative maintenance can help extend the life of your board and minimise risk.
