FAQs – Switchboard Upgrades Auckland

What’s the difference between a fuse box and a modern switchboard?

A fuse box uses replaceable fuses, while a modern switchboard uses circuit breakers and RCDs that are safer, faster to reset, and meet current standards.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade to install a new appliance?

Sometimes, yes — older boards may not support added load or RCD protection. We’ll check and advise what’s needed.

Can you upgrade my switchboard and keep the power on?

We usually need to cut power during the upgrade, but we work efficiently to minimise disruption.

Do your upgrades meet NZ electrical compliance?

Yes — all switchboard work is completed to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules by licensed electricians.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most residential switchboard upgrades take 2–4 hours. More complex setups may take longer.

Can I get a compliance certificate after the job?

Yes — we issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) once the job is complete.
