Avg. rating of 64 reviewsAt Done Right Electrical Port Hacking, we know that your switchboard sits at the heart of your property's electrical system. It's not the most glamorous part of home ownership, but it keeps everything running smoothly and safely. Whether your property sits near Port Hacking Basin or further inland towards Burraneer, we've helped countless locals across Port Hacking replace outdated fuse boxes and upgrade overloaded switchboards to modern standards. Our qualified electricians bring the technical know-how and practical experience to transform old, risky electrical panels into safe, efficient systems designed for how people actually live today.
Many homes and businesses in the Sutherland Shire area still operate on switchboards installed decades ago when power demands were a fraction of what they are now.

When you call us for a switchboard upgrade, you're getting a team that treats your property with respect and delivers work that lasts.
All our switchboard work is carried out by licensed and insured electricians who meet strict NSW electrical standards.

As a locally operated business, we understand Port Hacking properties and respond quickly when you need us.
Your switchboard does more than just distribute electricity around your property. It's your first line of defence against electrical faults, overloads, and potential fires. Older switchboards with ceramic fuses simply weren't designed to handle modern electrical loads. Think about it: air conditioning, multiple fridges, home offices, electric ovens, washing machines, dryers, entertainment systems, and countless devices all drawing power simultaneously. Those old fuse boxes just can't cope safely.
That's where Done Right Electrical Port Hacking comes in. Our switchboard upgrades bring your electrical system into line with current safety standards and give you the capacity you need. We install modern circuit breakers, safety switches, and surge protection as standard. Every upgrade is tailored to your specific electrical load, not a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether you're in a heritage home near Port Hacking Road or a contemporary residence closer to Lilli Pilli, we assess your actual power requirements and design a switchboard solution that works.

When Done Right Electrical Port Hacking upgrades your switchboard, we take care of everything from initial assessment through to final testing and certification. Our comprehensive service covers all the bases, so you don't need to coordinate multiple trades or worry about missing safety features.
We start with a detailed electrical load assessment. This tells us exactly how much power your property draws now and helps us plan for future needs. Then we move on to removing the old switchboard, whether it's an ancient fuse box with ceramic fuses or an outdated panel that's simply overloaded. The new switchboard installation includes modern circuit breakers tailored to each circuit's requirements, protecting your wiring from overloads and short circuits.
Safety switch installation is non-negotiable in our upgrades. These residual current devices (RCDs) detect earth leakage faults in milliseconds and shut off power instantly, protecting against electrocution. Current regulations require RCDs on all circuits in new installations, and we strongly recommend them for older properties too. We also install surge protection at the switchboard level to shield your expensive appliances and electronics from voltage spikes caused by storms or grid faults.
For properties requiring three-phase power, perhaps for large air conditioning systems, commercial equipment, or EV chargers, we handle those upgrades as well. We also install sub-boards when you need localised circuit control for granny flats, workshops, or extensions. If you've received a defect notice from an inspector, we'll rectify all the issues raised, whether that involves rewiring, adding safety switches, or replacing the entire panel.

How do you know if your Port Hacking property needs a switchboard upgrade? Several warning signs point to an electrical system that's struggling to keep up with demand or has become a safety risk.
If your property still has an old fuse box with ceramic or rewireable fuses, it's definitely time for an upgrade. These systems lack the safety features of modern switchboards and often can't handle today's electrical loads. You might notice fuses blowing regularly, particularly when you run multiple appliances simultaneously. This constant nuisance tripping indicates an overloaded system that needs more capacity and better circuit distribution.
Circuit breakers that trip frequently also signal problems. While occasional tripping when you overload a circuit is normal, regular trips suggest your switchboard can't cope with your electrical demands. Similarly, if you're planning to install high-load equipment like ducted air conditioning, an electric vehicle charger, or commercial machinery, your existing switchboard probably needs upgrading to support the additional draw.
Renovations and extensions nearly always require switchboard work. Building regulations mandate adequate circuit protection for new areas, and older switchboards rarely have spare capacity. Properties without safety switches absolutely need upgrading. RCD protection is required by law for all socket outlets and lighting circuits, and retrofitting them provides crucial protection against electric shock.
If you've received an electrical defect notice following an inspection, particularly for rental properties or during property sales, the switchboard often features prominently. Defect notices must be rectified by a licensed electrician, and depending on the issues raised, this might involve a complete switchboard replacement rather than patchwork repairs.
