Arrange a Switchboard Upgrade in the Northern Rivers

Optimising Your Power Distribution

Your home or business’s switchboard is crucial for safety. How do you know if it’s in excellent condition or if it needs an upgrade? At EESI Electrical Contractors, we will perform an extensive safety inspection to determine its condition and safety risk. Some of the things our electricians will look for include:


  1. Flickering Lights: This can be caused by a wobbly bulb, loose wiring, or defective switchboard. If continuous, it can be a fire hazard.
  2. Short-Circuiting Appliances: This may indicate that the switchboard is not capable of handling your home or business establishment’s power load. Unless upgraded, it could lead to frequent power outages or circuit tripping.
  3. Rewireable Fuses Instead of Circuit Breakers: These contain copper fuse wires that either melt or blow when the system’s overloaded, which is another serious safety hazard.


Call EESI Electrical Contractors on 0404 486 273 to arrange a switchboard upgrade in the Northern Rivers. We travel throughout Alstonville, Lennox Head, Ballina, Lismore, Evans Head and Byron Bay.

Why Switchboard Upgrades are Crucial

An overcrowded switchboard is an indication that it’s no longer capable of accommodating additional high-voltage pieces of equipment like a heater or an air conditioner. An upgrade is necessary if you’ve recently installed items like these with an already overcrowded board.


Loose wires inside fuse holders can result in blown fuse wires, melted cables or worse, a fuse board fire. It's vital that a trained electrical technician address these wire issues to mitigate risk.
