Is your home’s switchboard outdated or overloaded? AEC offers safe, compliant switchboard upgrade services across Auckland, protecting your property and giving you peace of mind.
Older switchboards—especially those over 20 to 25 years old—often no longer meet modern safety standards or keep up with today’s household demands. If you experience frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or if your switchboard still uses fuse wires instead of circuit breakers, these are clear signs it’s due for an upgrade.
Why Upgrade?
Safety, Compliance & Future-Readiness. Upgrading replaces old fuses with modern circuit breakers and adds essential safety components like RCDs (Residual Current Devices)—crucial for protecting against electric shocks and fire risks. Plus, you’ll be aligning your home’s electrics with current standards.
The Process — Easy, Safe, Professional
AEC handles the full upgrade process from start to finish. We'll help you choose the right modern switchboard based on your home's size and power needs, install the necessary protective devices, and ensure everything is built to code. A licensed electrician will complete the work and provide the required Certificate of Compliance once finished.
Stay Secure & Compliant
Hazards like scorch marks, strange smells, or buzzing noises around your switchboard should never be ignored. It’s vital to have updates handled only by qualified professionals. If detected, immediately turn off the main switch and call a licensed electrician to assess the risk
