About this service

Switchboard Upgrades

Switchboard upgrades are one of the biggest portions of Nuvolt's work right now, and there's a reason. Most homes around the northern Central Coast were built before RCDs were required, and the old porcelain-fuse boards just aren't safe by today's standard. We swap the lot (new enclosure, RCBOs, neat labelling, surge protection where it makes sense) and leave you with a board your insurer and the next owner will be happy with.

  • Replace porcelain / ceramic-fuse boards with a modern RCBO panel
  • Add safety switches (RCDs) to every circuit
  • Upsize the main switch for new aircon, hot water or workshop loads
  • Tidy and re-label every circuit so the next sparky (or you) can read it
  • Surge protection installation

Switchboard Upgrades FAQs

Common questions from Central Coast customers about switchboard upgrades.

Will I lose power for the whole day?
No. Typical jobs take 4–6 hours and the power-off window is much shorter than that. We coordinate the metering disconnect with Ausgrid so the actual no-power period is usually 2–3 hours mid-day.
Why do I need to upgrade if it's been fine for years?
Porcelain-fuse boards don't have RCDs, meaning if there's a fault to earth (e.g. a frayed appliance cord), nothing trips fast enough to stop you getting a shock. RCDs/RCBOs trip in milliseconds. They're now the standard for a reason.
Do you supply the board or do I?
We supply. We run Hager and Clipsal panels which are what the insurers expect to see.
What if you find non-compliant wiring once the cover is off?
If something major shows up, we stop, photograph it, and quote a fix before going further. Small in-board issues (tape-joints in the enclosure, undersized neutral bar) are usually folded into the original quote at no extra charge.
