A switchboard upgrade service that’s prioritises safe and compliance from the very start.
Upgrade before problems develop
Heat damage, overcrowded wiring and ageing components can become serious safety concerns if left unaddressed. An inspection and timely upgrade can help identify and resolve issues before they worsen.
Your home has changed. Has your switchboard?
Air conditioning, induction cooktops, home offices, pools and countless appliances can place very different demands on a home than when it was first built. A switchboard upgrade can help prepare your electrical system for the way you live today.
Old switchboard. New expectations.
An older switchboard may have been perfectly adequate when it was installed, but electrical standards, safety protection and household power requirements have moved on. We can assess what you have and recommend an appropriate upgrade.
From old-school fuses to modern protection
If your switchboard still relies on older-style fuses or outdated equipment, it may be time for an assessment. We can replace ageing components as required and provide a modern, clearly labelled and professionally finished switchboard.
As a courtesy service to our clients, we provide a complimentary electrical safety inspection with any service. This is to ensure your home isn’t displaying any major electrical safety concerns that could put you and your family in danger. At Limelight Electrix, we strive to resolve any issues before a problem can occur.

We believe the electrical maintenance industry needs a higher level of workmanship, customer service and communication.
Taken from a handful of our Google reviews.
This company ticks all the boxes. They are professional, knowledgeable, timely, good communicators, friendly, tidy, etc. No, they are not the least expensive option you’ll find out there, but you will most definitely get your money’s worth. They do the job right the first time, use top-notch products and do it all with a smile. Brad and his team are worth it!
Brad is brilliant with his prompt communication and punctuality.
Brad and Levi’s workmanship is thorough and safety is paramount for them. I was extremely impressed that Brad did a safety check as the first thing at the quoting stage.
Brad and Levi are honest and open if you have any follow up queries.
I have already passed on Limelight Electrix details to a family member and wouldn’t hesitate to give their details to anyone who was after a superior Electrician. More than highly recommended!!
We will certainly be using them in the
Would highly recommend Brad and his team for any electrical work. We have just used Limelight again to complete a variety of work at our recently purchased house, this will be about the fifth time we have used them and every time we cannot fault Brads work.
Whilst you may find cheaper quotes, you won’t find better quality – something we weren’t willing to comprise when dealing with electricity, not to mention presentation of our house. We had one minor hiccup with a phone line, they were straight back out to resolve it at no cost. They always call on the way to the job and stick to the agreed times.

We don’t run across the entirety of Perth’s metro area giving out quotes all day – because we keep things local, we’re able to spend less time in the van, longer on the job and keep our prices reasonable.

There isn’t one single sign that means a switchboard needs replacing.
Older ceramic fuses, ageing components, limited circuit protection, visible damage, overcrowding or a lack of room for additional circuits can all be reasons to have it assessed.
If you’re unsure what you have, Limelight Electrix can inspect your switchboard and explain whether an upgrade is actually necessary.
Not every old switchboard is automatically unsafe, but older installations may not provide the same level of protection expected from a modern electrical system.
Components can also deteriorate over time. If you have an older fuse box or you don’t know when your switchboard was last inspected, it’s worth having a licensed electrician take a look.
They provide protection against different electrical risks.
Circuit breakers are primarily designed to protect electrical circuits against problems such as overloads and short circuits, while RCD safety switches are designed to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Modern switchboards can incorporate appropriate protection for the circuits within your home.
Possibly. EV chargers can represent a significant additional electrical load, so your electrician needs to assess your existing supply, switchboard capacity and other electrical demands before installation.
In some homes the existing setup will be suitable, while others may require alterations or an upgrade.
It depends on why it’s tripping. Repeated tripping can be caused by an overloaded circuit, faulty appliance, wiring problem or another electrical fault.
Rather than assuming the switchboard is the problem, we can carry out fault finding to determine what’s actually causing it.
Depending on the installation, yes. If you’re already planning other electrical improvements, it makes sense to discuss them at the same time.
We can consider future requirements when planning the new switchboard rather than only thinking about what your home needs today.
It’s worth having it assessed.
Solar and battery installations can introduce additional equipment and switchboard requirements.
Looking at the bigger picture beforehand can help ensure your electrical system is properly prepared for the upgrade you have planned.
