Is Your Switchboard Putting You at Risk?
Outdated switchboards aren't just inconvenient – they're dangerous. If your switchboard still has old ceramic fuses or can't handle modern electrical loads, you're risking power outages, equipment damage, or worse – electrical fires.
Local Electrical Solutions specializes in safe, compliant switchboard upgrades for Sydney homes and businesses. We strip out the old, dangerous wiring and replace it with modern RCD safety switches that cut power in milliseconds if a fault is detected.

- Mains cabling upgrade (if required)
- Asbestos panel removal (if required)
- Testing & Compliance Certificate
CASE STUDY: JOB #2028
The Transformation
See the difference yourself. On the left is a standard 1970s fuse box we encountered in the Eastern Suburbs. It featured porcelain fuses, loose wiring, and an asbestos backing board.
On the right is the finished upgrade. We stripped it back to the brick, installed a new non-hazardous panel, and fitted Schneider RCBOs (Safety Switches) on every circuit. This home is now fully compliant with AS/NZS 3000:2018.

The Hazard
Exposed live parts, no RCD protection, potential fire risk.

The Solution
Clean cable management, individual circuit protection, future-proofed.
