Switchboard upgrade
Safe. Compliant. Future-Ready.
At RS Electrical, we provide switchboard upgrades for homes, rental properties and small commercial sites across Melbourne’s western suburbs. All work is carried out by a registered and insured electrician.
We ensure your installation is:
- Compliant with current Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3000)
- Fitted with RCD/RCBO safety switches
- Protected with modern circuit breakers
- Safe for today’s electrical demands
⚠️ Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

Why Switchboard Upgrades Are Important
Older switchboards were not designed for:
- Modern kitchens
- Induction cooktops
- Air conditioning systems
- EV chargers
- High-powered ovens
- Solar systems
An outdated board increases the risk of:
- Electric shock
- Electrical fires
- Insurance issues
- Non-compliance for rental properties
Upgrading protects your family, tenants and property.
