Electrical Switchboard Upgrade Adelaide

Protect Your Property with a Modern, Compliant Switchboard Upgrades

Your switchboard is the heart of your property’s electrical system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or non-compliant with current Australian standards, it could be putting your home, business, and safety at risk. An old or faulty switchboard isn’t just inconvenient—it can increase the risk of electrical fires, power outages, and failed insurance claims.

At Deadshort Services, we’ve been providing professional electrical switchboard upgrades in Adelaide and across South Australia for more than 35 years. Our licensed electricians work to the highest safety and compliance standards, ensuring your property has the power capacity and protection it needs for today’s appliances, technology, and lifestyle.

When to Consider a Switchboard Upgrade

Not sure if it’s time to replace your old switchboard? Common signs include:

• Frequent tripping or blown fuses

• Flickering lights or inconsistent power

• A burning smell near the board or visible scorch marks

• The absence of safety switches (RCDs)

• Old ceramic fuses or rewireable fuses still in use

• Buzzing or crackling noises from the panel

• Difficulty supporting modern appliances such as air conditioning, EV chargers, solar systems or large kitchen equipment

In South Australia, safety switches are mandatory for new installations. Upgrading your switchboard not only improves safety but also ensures compliance with current AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules—protecting both your property and your insurance coverage.
