Switchboard upgrades
Switchboard upgrades in Lincoln and Canterbury.
Modernise your switchboard with a safer, more reliable electrical system designed around the needs of your home
Switchboard upgrades are a particular area of expertise for Peak Electrical Services.
Before starting Peak Electrical Services, I spent several years working for a large commercial and industrial switchboard manufacturer. During that time, I gained hands on experience with the design, construction, layout and operation of switchboards across a wide range of applications.
I now bring that specialist knowledge to residential switchboard upgrades, helping homeowners modernise older electrical systems and improve their safety, reliability, functionality and aesthetics.
Whether you’re replacing an outdated fuse board, upgrading protection or need additional capacity for new appliances and electrical installations, I’ll assess your existing switchboard and recommend an upgrade suited to your home and your future electrical needs.
Practical advice, quality workmanship and specialist switchboard knowledge - without overcomplicating the job.
How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?
I often get asked how much does a switchboard upgrade cost. The honest answer is: It depends on the existing installation and what your home needs.
A few factors that influence the cost include:
Whether your home has single phase or three phase supply
How many existing circuits need to be accommodated
The size and layout of the new switchboard
How much circuit protection is required
The condition of your existing switchboard and wiring
Whether your main earthing arrangement needs upgrading
Whether additional capacity is needed for future electrical needs.
No two switchboards are exactly the same, so I generally recommend a site visit before providing a quote/estimate. This allows me to assess the existing installation, explain your options and answer any questions you may have.
