Warning Signs Your Electrical Switchboard Could Be a Fire Risk!

Most switchboards give a few clues before they fail or, worse still, catch fire. If you notice any of the following, call Amp Electrical Perth immediately!

  1. Frequent circuit breaker trips
  2. Flickering lights
  3. Buzzing noises
  4. Scorch marks
  5. Safety switches that don’t trip or won’t reset
  6. Circuit breakers that won’t reset
  7. A burning or electrical smell
  8. Fuses that feel hot to the touch
  9. Smoke from the switchboard

These are signs that your switchboard is outdated, worn out, or overloaded (sometimes it’s all of the above!)

A switchboard upgrade will not only solve the problems listed above but also give you peace of mind, knowing that your overall electrical system is working correctly and safe from fire.

Many Perth homeowners need a switchboard or meter box upgrade when installing solar power, as modern systems require compliant switchboards and safety switches. If you’re planning solar, experienced installers like Middle Swan Solar can help ensure everything is installed safely.

Electrical hazards are a serious risk, so if you suspect your switchboard is outdated, contact Amp Electrical Perth for an inspection and professional upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: Yes, you most likely need a meter box upgrade, especially if you have an older home. Most of the older homes in Perth have outdated meter boxes that pose potential safety hazards. With the advances in technology, many homeowners talk to Amp Electrical Perth about installing split-system air conditioning, smart home automation setup, or even an EV charging system. If your meter box has an outdated system, it cannot handle the power supply that modern living demands and definitely needs upgrading.

A: This depends on several factors, but in general, you can expect to pay approximately $1000 – $1,400 for an upgraded meter box that will pass Australian standards and the scrutiny of Western Power.

A: In a nutshell, the meter box houses the electrical meter itself and the main power switch. This is the meter that records the amount of power your home or business is consuming. The switchboard, often located inside the meter box, houses the circuit breakers and distributes the power to individual circuits and safety switches as you turn lights and appliances off and on. If you need a more detailed explanation, call the friendly staff at Amp Electrical Perth.

A: Yes, you absolutely do, and with good reason. Switchboard upgrades or a switchboard replacement is considered high-risk work because it deals with a live electrical system and circuits. DIY or using an unlicensed electrician is illegal, and if a fire should occur, your insurance would be nulled and voided. No matter what you hear, never believe that anyone can replace your old switchboard with a new switchboard because “it’s not that hard.” Don’t risk using anyone but a licensed electrician, such as the ones at Amp Electrical Perth.

A: It’s time to consider a switchboard upgrade if:

  • you’re adding a split-system air conditioning or an EV charger to your electrical system
  • you smell smoke or notice sparks when turning on electrical equipment or lighting
  • circuits are cutting out frequently
  • you get an electric shock when you touch some power points
  • you experience power outages that no one else in your neighborhood does

It’s crucial to call Amp Electrical Perth immediately and consider a switchboard upgrade. You may also refer to the related paragraph above. Contact us today for a free inspection and a free quote.

A: It’s possible, but why would you do that? If you think about it, the switchboard and meter box are closely related. If the meter box is old and outdated, the switchboard was most likely installed at the same time, so there is a good chance that your residential switchboard needs an upgrade, as well. Of course, if the switchboard appears to be working fine but the meter box has corroded or been damaged, then it’s fine to replace the meter box alone. If you aren’t sure, call Amp Electrical Perth for an initial assessment and a free quote today.
