Power problems can start before the switchboard
Not every electrical problem originates inside your switchboard or somewhere around the home.
If the consumer mains supplying the switchboard are deteriorated, damaged or inadequate, the problem can start further upstream.
The main cable doing all the heavy lifting
Your consumer main carries the electricity supplying your entire home into the switchboard.
If it’s ageing, damaged or no longer adequate for your electrical demands, it may be time for an upgrade.
More power starts at the source
Adding air conditioning, an EV charger, electric cooking or other high-demand equipment?
Before adding more load, we can assess whether your existing consumer mains are capable of supporting it.
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.

Consumer mains are the electrical cables that carry electricity from the property’s point of supply to the main switchboard.
While most homeowners rarely see or think about them, they’re a critical part of the electrical installation because the power used throughout the home ultimately passes through them.
Where the defect relates to electrical work we’re licensed and able to perform, we can assess the issue and carry out the necessary rectification work.
Depending on the defect and supply arrangement, coordination with Western Power or another relevant party may also be required.
The consumer mains bring electricity to your main switchboard. The switchboard then distributes that electricity through the various circuits supplying your lights, power points, appliances and other electrical equipment.
A simple way to think about it is: the consumer mains bring the power in; the switchboard sends it where it needs to go.
There are several possible reasons. Existing mains may be ageing, damaged, deteriorated, undersized for the property’s electrical demand or unsuitable for planned upgrades.
Replacement may also be required if an electrical defect has been identified.
This isn’t something most homeowners can determine by looking at the cable.
An electrician can assess the existing consumer mains, electrical supply and expected demand to determine whether the current installation is appropriate or an upgrade should be considered.
Older homes can be good candidates for assessment because their electrical requirements may have changed considerably since the original installation. Air conditioning, electric cooking, pools, home offices and other modern electrical loads may have been added over decades while parts of the original supply infrastructure remain.
That doesn’t automatically mean an older home needs new consumer mains, but it’s worth considering when significant electrical upgrades are planned.
Not necessarily. It depends on your existing electrical supply, consumer mains, switchboard and overall electrical demand, as well as the charging equipment being considered.
An assessment can determine whether the existing infrastructure can accommodate the additional load or whether upgrades or load-management solutions need to be considered.
Where a three-phase upgrade is appropriate, the project can involve changes to the consumer mains, switchboard and electricity supply arrangements.
It may also require coordination with Western Power. We can assess what you currently have and explain what’s involved in making the change.
