We had such a great experience with {{business:name}}. Our quote was super reasonable and Karl’s work installing our down lights and fans was awesome and had a great final result. Everyone we worked with was really friendly and it really felt like an honest and fair company. Karl was also super lovely with our toddler and dog too! Thanks again!
Daniel led an excellent team to deliver an electrical upgrade to our apartment. Karl and Remy were professional, punctual and customer and outcome focused in performing works that were at times quite challenging. {{business:name}} will be my ‘go to’ business for future electrical needs.
{{business:name}} service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find {{business:name}}! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend {{business:name}} for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang {{business:name}} 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend {{business:name}}!
We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
{{business:name}} were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
Big thanks to Braeden for fixing the electrical issue in our apartment. I was incredibly impressed with Brayden's professionalism, passion for his work and his attention to detail. He also explained the issue to me at every point and made sure I understood what was needed and how to address any issues in future. I'm grateful he came to help us today and truly impressed with his workmanship and attitude. Cheers Braeden and the team at {{business:name}}.
Fantastic experience with this team. They were so efficient and professional and the end result was perfect. Turn around time from initial enquiry to job completed was outstanding. Would definitely recommend.

Answers to Common Questions
FAQs About Switchboard Upgrades
Still have questions about our switchboard upgrade services in Balmain? Review these frequently asked questions or reach out to our team for professional guidance. We’re here to help you understand why a modern switchboard is essential for your electrical safety and peace of mind.
Key indicators include frequent circuit breaker tripping, ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, a lack of RCD safety switches, burning smells or discoloration around the switchboard, limited capacity for additional circuits, flickering lights, or a switchboard over 25 years old. If your property in Balmain still has an older-style fuse box, it’s definitely time for an upgrade to meet current safety standards.
Each switchboard upgrade is unique, with costs varying based on your property’s specific requirements. Factors affecting the price include the size of your electrical system, whether you need a basic upgrade or complete replacement, the number of circuit breakers required, installation of safety switches, and any additional wiring work. We provide detailed, obligation-free quotes after assessing your current setup.
Safety switches (RCDs) provide crucial protection by immediately cutting power when they detect electrical leakage, potentially preventing electric shocks, fires, and electrical injuries. They respond in milliseconds to electrical faults that circuit breakers might miss, offering an essential layer of protection for your family. Modern Australian standards recommend safety switches on all circuits, not just power points, to maximise protection throughout your home.
We recommend having your switchboard professionally inspected every 5-10 years, depending on its age and condition. Homes in Balmain with original switchboards from the 1970s or earlier should prioritise inspections or upgrades. Additionally, consider an upgrade when renovating, adding major appliances, experiencing electrical issues, or if your switchboard lacks modern safety features like circuit breakers and RCDs.
A typical switchboard upgrade involves assessing your current electrical system, disconnecting power (with advance notice), removing the old switchboard components, installing the new board with circuit breakers and safety switches, reconnecting and testing all circuits, ensuring compliance with current electrical standards, and restoring power. Our team minimises disruption, often completing the process in a single day, and provides guidance on your new switchboard’s features and operation.
