Switchboard Upgrades for Alpine Homes
Upgrade old fuse boxes to modern switchboards with safety switches and circuit breakers. Essential for alpine property safety and compliance.
Why Your Alpine Home Needs a Modern Switchboard
Old Fuse Boxes Unsafe
Ceramic fuse boxes lack modern safety features like RCDs (safety switches) and don't provide adequate protection for today's electrical loads.
Alpine Conditions
Snowy Mountains properties experience harsh weather. Modern switchboards provide better protection against electrical faults during storms.
Increased Power Needs
Modern homes use more electricity (heating, EV chargers, solar). Old switchboards can't safely handle increased loads.
Compliance Required
When renovating or selling, you may be required to upgrade to a compliant switchboard with safety switches on all circuits.
Insurance Requirements
Some insurers require modern switchboards for coverage. Upgrades can reduce insurance premiums and improve property value.
Solar & Battery Ready
Planning solar or battery storage? You'll need a modern switchboard with adequate capacity and solar-compatible circuit breakers.
