Why might I need to upgrade my switchboard?

Older switchboards simply weren’t designed to handle the workload that today’s average home needs. Many older switchboards also don’t contain safety switches, and may contain asbestos. For all these reasons, it’s usually worth getting your switchboard assessed or upgraded if it’s more than 10 years old – firstly to protect your property and its occupants, and secondly to future-proof it for years to come.
