When a switchboard needs replacing
Ceramic or rewireable fuses. No RCDs. A board that trips constantly, buzzes, or is warm to touch. Or you're adding a heat pump, EV charger or a spa and the old board can't take it. A modern board with RCD protection is the single biggest safety upgrade in an older Auckland house.

Switchboard questions
Will the power be off all day?
Usually two to four hours. We'll tell you the window when we book it.
Does my insurer require this?
Many insurers now ask about RCD protection on older houses. We provide the Certificate of Compliance you'd send them.
Can you quote from a photo?
Yes, nearly always. Send a clear photo of the board with the cover off (if you can safely) and the meter box.
