Switchboard Upgrades
Is your home still running on an outdated switchboard? Many Melbourne properties still rely on old switchboards never designed for modern electrical loads. A switchboard upgrade from Wati Electrical improves safety by replacing ceramic fuses and RCDs with RCBO protection — reducing the risk of electric shock, tripping circuits, and electrical fires. Upgrades may also be required for rental compliance, solar panels, home batteries, air conditioning, and EV charger installations. We can also consolidate multiple switchboards into a single modern unit, improving aesthetics, simplifying maintenance, and creating a safer, more reliable electrical system for your home.
01
Boronia Switchboard Upgrade for Rental Compliance
Is your rental property's switchboard compliant? Under Victorian regulations, rental properties require an electrical safety check by a licensed electrician every two years, and older switchboards often lack adequate safety switch protection. Wati Electrical upgrades switchboards to modern RCBO protection — improving tenant safety, reducing electrical risks, and helping ensure your Melbourne rental meets current safety standards
02
Switchboard upgraded in Burwood East to prevent fire hazard
Could your switchboard be a fire risk? Older switchboards increase the risk of electrical fires due to ageing components, overloaded circuits, and outdated fuse protection. Wati Electrical replaces old fuses with modern RCBO protection, helping prevent overheating and electrical faults — while improving safety, compliance, and capacity for solar, batteries, air conditioning, and EV chargers across Melbourne homes
03
Hughesdale Switchboard Consolidation
Does your home have multiple switchboards from past renovations or extensions? Wati Electrical consolidates them into a single modern switchboard — improving safety, simplifying maintenance and fault finding, reducing clutter, and creating a cleaner appearance. It also makes future upgrades like solar, batteries, air conditioning, and EV chargers easier to install and manage for Melbourne homes
04
Relocation of Switchboard & Meter Panel Burwood
Is your switchboard or meter panel in an awkward, outdated location? Wati Electrical relocates switchboards and meter panels to improve safety, accessibility, and street appeal. Moving outdated equipment to a more practical spot simplifies maintenance, supports solar and battery installations, accommodates EV chargers, and creates a cleaner, more organised electrical system for Melbourne homes
05
Updated RCDs to RCBO in Caulfield
Does one electrical fault knock out power to half your home? Many older switchboards use a single RCD to protect multiple circuits, meaning one fault can disconnect large areas at once. Wati Electrical upgrades Melbourne homes to RCBO protection, giving each circuit individual protection — improving safety, reducing nuisance tripping, and making faults easier to identify. RCBOs also offer enhanced protection against electric shock and electrical fires, making them the preferred standard for modern switchboard upgrades.
