Old fuse board? Tripping breakers? We upgrade to modern, safe, RCD-protected switchboards.
If your switchboard still has ceramic fuses, a round main switch, or brown bakelite panels, it's overdue for an upgrade. Old switchboards can't handle modern electrical loads — heat pumps, EV chargers, induction cooktops — and they lack the safety switches (RCDs) that protect your family from electric shock.
Applied Electrical replaces outdated switchboards with modern, compliant units that have room to grow. We handle the Vector coordination for the mains disconnection and reconnection — everything is seamless.
Replace your old fuse board with a modern MCB/RCD switchboard. Properly labelled, with room for future circuits. Typically a one-day job.
RCDs detect fault currents and cut power in milliseconds — protecting against electric shock and electrical fires. We retrofit them to existing boards or include them in upgrades.
Pre-purchase inspections, electrical warrants of fitness, landlord compliance checks. We test every circuit, check earthing, and issue a detailed report.
Hard-wired, interconnected smoke alarms that meet the Healthy Homes standards. Battery backup for safety during power outages.

"We experienced an emergency power outage, Patrick dropped everything to address the problem immediately. Recently we had to involve Vector for an electrical job to be completed; Applied organised everything, it was seamless, and nothing was an issue."— Steve Huddleston, Google Review
If it still has ceramic fuses or a round main switch, the answer is yes. Call Patrick.
