Load Balancing &
Circuit Assessment

Upgrades for Renovations
& Extensions

When you're renovating your home, adding new appliances, or expanding living spaces, your existing switchboard may not have the capacity to safely support the increased demand. We assess your current electrical setup and upgrade it with additional circuits, safety switches, and capacity to handle new loads. Whether you're installing a new kitchen, home office, EV charger, or air-conditioning system, we ensure your switchboard is future-ready and compliant.

Four white ceramic electrical fuses labeled "FEDERAL" and rated for 250V, 15A-AC, and 16A-AC are lined up in a fuse box—ideal for those considering replacing old ceramic fuses in the Inner West.

Replacing Old Ceramic Fuses

Old ceramic fuses can overheat, blow frequently, and provide limited protection for modern appliances. They also increase the risk of electrical fires due to loose connections and overloaded circuits. We safely remove these outdated fuses and replace them with reliable circuit breakers designed for today’s electrical loads.

Safety Switch Installation

Modern safety switches (RCDs) are designed to detect electrical faults in milliseconds, protecting you and your family from electric shock, fire hazards, and appliance damage. If your current switchboard relies on outdated fuses or has limited safety switch protection, we’ll upgrade it with compliant RCDs that meet today’s safety standards.
