Imagine the installer arriving to fit your new ducted air conditioner, then shaking their head because the existing board simply cannot carry it. Older boards were never designed for modern electricity demands, which is why Wellington Switchboards upgrades them for homes throughout Thorndon.

Planning solar, air con or a faster car charger in Thorndon, talk to Wellington Switchboards for same-day service and 24/7 emergency support.
A struggling switchboard rarely gives a second warning, and because it is the heart of the home electrical system, ignoring it can turn dangerous fast. Homeowners in Thorndon are far better off treating the early signals as an urgent call to act.
Speed is everything once these signs appear, so keep testing your safety switches with the button and leave all wiring and repairs to a licensed electrician. An older board was never built for today’s appliances, so line up an upgrade before adding solar, an EV charger or heavy loads, and especially when settling into an older home.
Our fully licensed electricians provide same-day service across Thorndon, backed by a lifetime labour guarantee, no callout fee and a free quote. Call our 24/7 emergency team straight away when your board cannot wait.
Powering a busy household reliably means moving past a fuse box that trips under pressure, so a larger modern board is installed. Circuit breakers and safety switches are fitted, all circuits are reconnected, tested and labelled, and a certificate of compliance is issued.
When you find yourself unplugging appliances just to run others without tripping the power, the board is telling you it cannot cope with the household load. That constant juggling is a practical symptom of an undersized system. An upgrade assessment by a qualified electrician can resolve it.
The final cost depends heavily on what we find at the board, including its age and condition, the number of circuits, and the protective gear being installed. Surge protection, extra safety switches and any rewiring all move the figure. We inspect at no callout fee and then hand over a free, clear quote so you can decide with confidence.
Every electrician on our team is fully licensed and carries comprehensive insurance, so your home and your family are protected from the first visit. We work strictly to Australian standards and issue a certificate of compliance on completion. Our switchboard upgrades are also backed by a lifetime labour guarantee, so you have lasting peace of mind.
Fitting protection to an existing board is a common request, and in most cases it can be done without a full replacement. Our team works out the right configuration, installs the safety switches and tests their response on site.
A common household upgrade tends to take a few hours through to a day. Where conditions suit our team we aim for same-day service. The outage is planned tightly so disruption to your day stays low.
From the local area through to the surrounding suburbs and on into the wider region, our coverage is broad. If you are unsure where your address sits, a quick call or enquiry gives you a definite answer right away.
Installing a modern, standards-compliant board is the goal, and we reach it safely even with asbestos backing in the old panel. The existing unit is removed using the recognised procedures, then the new board is fitted and tested. You gain up to date protection across your circuits.
Our team is on call 24/7 for switchboard emergencies, so you are never left dealing with a dangerous fault alone. Warning signs such as sparking, scorching, and a total loss of power mean it is time to call straight away. If it is safe, isolate the supply at the main switch and we will come and make it right.
We ensure the finished board complies with the current Australian standards and operates safely. A certificate of electrical compliance is issued, and the labour is backed for life by our lifetime labour guarantee.
If the switchboard gets noticeably warm when the house is busy, the load has outgrown the board. Wellington Switchboards upgrades switchboards across Wellington so the heat, the tripping and the worry are gone.
As a fully licensed and insured team, we approach each switchboard methodically, matching the right circuit breakers and a safety switch to your property whether it runs on single or three phase. All work satisfies Australian standards, comes with a certificate of compliance, and is backed by a lifetime labour guarantee.
