Is your property still using outdated ceramic fuses or struggling with frequent electrical issues? At Vivid West Electrical, we provide professional switchboard upgrades and repairs in Perth, helping homeowners and businesses stay safe, compliant, and ready for today’s electrical demands.
From flickering lights and tripping breakers to full-scale electrical upgrades, we assess your current system and deliver tailored solutions that meet Australian Standards.
Your switchboard is the control centre of your electrical system. If it’s old, overloaded, or not equipped with safety switches, it could be putting your home or business at risk.
You may need to upgrade your switchboard if:
Your home still uses ceramic fuses or has no RCD safety switches
Circuit breakers trip regularly under load
Lights dim or appliances shut off unexpectedly
You’re installing new appliances like EV chargers, ovens, or air conditioning
The switchboard is warm, damaged, or making strange noises
You’re renovating or increasing the power load on your property
An upgraded switchboard improves both electrical safety and system performance.
We offer a full range of switchboard upgrade and repair services to suit residential, commercial, and strata properties across Perth:
Complete switchboard replacements with modern circuit breakers and RCDs
Repairs for damaged, burnt, or overloaded switchboards
Additional circuit installation for new appliances or renovations

What’s the difference between circuit breakers and safety switches?
Circuit breakers protect your wiring from overloads. Safety switches (RCDs) protect people from electric shock. A modern switchboard needs both.
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most upgrades are completed in 4–8 hours. We’ll assess your system and provide a clear timeline before starting.
Is a switchboard upgrade required during renovations?
Often, yes. If your current board is outdated or can’t handle additional circuits, an upgrade will be required for compliance and safety.
Are old fuse boxes dangerous?
Yes. Ceramic fuses don’t offer the protection that modern RCDs do. They increase the risk of fire, shock, and appliance damage.
Can you upgrade switchboards in apartments or strata complexes?
Absolutely. We work closely with homeowners, landlords, and strata managers to upgrade and maintain switchboards in both individual units and shared areas.
