- Trusted local electrician
Your switchboard is the heart of your property’s electrical system — and when it’s outdated, overloaded or faulty, everything connected to it is at risk. Our a-grade electricians repair, upgrade and modernise switchboards for homes and businesses right across victoria.
Every appliance, light, machine and charger in your property draws its power through the switchboard. Plenty of victorian properties still run on boards installed decades ago — designed for a kettle, a fridge and a few lights, not for air conditioning, commercial equipment, EV chargers and dozens of always-on devices.
When a switchboard can’t keep up, the warning signs start small — flickering lights, tripping circuits, blown fuses. Left alone, an overloaded or deteriorating board becomes a real fire and shock hazard, and older boards often lack the safety switches (RCDs) that modern standards require to protect people from electric shock.
Techniko Group repairs and upgrades switchboards for residential, commercial and industrial properties across metropolitan melbourne and regional victoria. Whether you need a single faulty circuit repaired, ceramic fuses swapped for modern circuit breakers, or a complete replacement with full RCD protection, our licenced electricians do the job cleanly, safely and to current australian standards.
Full RCD Safety Protection
Constant tripping usually means the circuits are overloaded or there’s a fault. It’s your board’s way of asking for help.
Lights that dip when appliances switch on can point to loose connections or a board struggling to distribute load safely.
Rewirable ceramic fuses belong to another era. If your board still has them — or has no RCD safety switches at all — it’s overdue for an upgrade.
Any smell of hot plastic, buzzing, or discolouration around the board is a serious red flag. Switch off what you safely can and call a licenced electrician promptly.
Adding air conditioning, commercial machinery, a home office or an EV charger? Your current board may not have the circuits or capacity to run it safely.
If your switchboard hasn’t been touched since the property was built, it almost certainly predates today’s safety standards — even if it still seems to be working.
Whatever condition your switchboard is in, we’ll give you an honest assessment and a clear, itemised quote for exactly what it needs — and nothing it doesn’t.
Fault finding and repair of tripping circuits, damaged breakers, loose connections and worn components — restoring safe, reliable power quickly.
Complete replacement of outdated boards with modern switchboards featuring circuit breakers, RCD protection and clear labelling — built to current australian standards.
Supply, installation and testing of safety switches that cut power the instant a fault is detected — the single most important protection against electric shock.
Design, upgrade and maintenance of commercial and industrial boards, including three-phase supply, sub-boards and capacity planning for growing operations.
Extra circuits and board capacity for air conditioning, EV chargers, machinery, kitchens and office fit-outs — so new equipment runs on a properly protected supply.
No jargon, no surprise costs, no unnecessary work. Here’s exactly what happens when you book with techniko group.
A licenced electrician inspects your switchboard, tests its condition and explains what’s actually needed — a repair, a partial upgrade or a full replacement.
You get a fixed, itemised quote before any work starts, so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.
We complete the work to current australian standards, scheduling around your household or business hours to keep power interruptions short.
Every circuit and safety switch is tested before handover, and you receive a Certificate of electrical safety for your records.
The clearest signs are rewirable ceramic fuses, no safety switches (RCDs), frequent tripping or blown fuses, flickering lights, buzzing, or any burning smell or scorch marks around the board. If your switchboard is decades old, or you’re planning to add high-demand equipment like air conditioning or an EV charger, it’s worth having it assessed even if nothing seems wrong yet.
A straightforward upgrade usually takes anywhere from a few hours to a full day, depending on the size of the board, the number of circuits and whether extra work — like new wiring or sub-boards — is involved. We’ll give you a clear time frame with your quote so you can plan around it.
Yes — the power needs to be off while we work on the board, but only for as long as necessary. We plan the outage with you in advance and schedule around your household or business hours to keep the disruption to a minimum.
They’re one of the most important safety features in any property. A safety switch cuts the power in a fraction of a second when it detects a fault, which is what protects people from electric shock. Modern standards require them, and older boards often don’t have them — a common reason to upgrade.
Absolutely — older properties are where upgrades matter most. we regularly replace ageing fuse boards with modern switchboards featuring circuit breakers and RCD protection, bringing the installation up to current australian standards while keeping the work tidy and minimally disruptive.
Yes. once the work is tested and signed off, you’ll receive a certificate of electrical safety for your records — useful for insurers, buyers or your own peace of mind.
From safety checks and quick repairs to large-scale installations, our licenced electricians deliver work built around what your property actually needs. Tell us what you need and we’ll come back with a clear, honest quote.
