Switchboard Upgrades & Repairs

Ocean Grove | Bellarine Peninsula | Surf Coast | Geelong

Old switchboard? Don’t wait for a spark to make a change.

Your switchboard is the control centre of your home’s electrical system, and if it’s outdated or overloaded, you’re living with a risk you don’t need.

At Sam Garland Electrics, we provide professional switchboard upgrades, repairs, and safety assessments for homes across Ocean Grove, the Bellarine, Surf Coast and Geelong. We’ll help you stay compliant, stay protected, and keep the power running where it should.

Common Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade:

  • Frequent tripping circuits or blown fuses

  • Flickering lights or power surges

  • No safety switches (RCDs) installed

  • Buzzing sounds or a burning smell from the switchboard

  • Old ceramic fuses or unlabelled wiring

  • Recently added appliances (like EV chargers or solar)? Your switchboard might need more capacity

What We Do:

  • Full switchboard upgrades & replacements

  • Safety switch (RCD) installation

  • Circuit separation for better safety

  • Surge protection setup

  • Clean, compliant wiring that meets current Australian standards

  • Labelling and testing so you know what’s what

Why It Matters

Outdated switchboards can be a fire hazard, pose electric shock risks, and won’t support the needs of a modern household. If you’re renovating, buying a home, or haven’t had an electrical check in years, this is your sign to get it sorted.

We’ll take care of everything—from disconnecting the old setup to installing a new, modern board with built-in safety features.
