Switchboard upgrades in Brookvale, specifically

Shops, units and light industrial in the same few streets. Boards here are three-phase as often as not, and the work has to happen without shutting a business down for the day — which is a scheduling problem as much as an electrical one.

Not mainly residential — this is the light industrial and retail heart of the Northern Beaches, with Warringah Mall and the trade estates. Work here is three-phase supply, distribution boards, warehouse and shop lighting, and jobs that have to be done around a business staying open rather than shutting it down.

What we run into here

Three-phase supply and distribution boards in commercial and light industrial units

Apartment blocks where the fault sits between the meter room and the unit

Work that has to be staged around trading hours rather than done in one hit

Switchboard upgrades in Brookvale, answered

Do I need a new switchboard in Brookvale?

Not always. If the board has ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or no spare positions left, it is holding the house back and usually needs replacing. If it is sound and simply full, making room is $150 to $400. Send a photo and we will tell you which one you have before you commit to anything.

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

We do not publish one figure because boards are not one job — a tidy modern board needing two extra circuits and a 1960s fuse panel with no earth are different pieces of work. What we do instead is price it from a photo, in writing, before we come out. Making room in an otherwise sound board is $150 to $400.

What is different about boards in Brookvale?

Shops, units and light industrial in the same few streets. Boards here are three-phase as often as not, and the work has to happen without shutting a business down for the day — which is a scheduling problem as much as an electrical one. Not mainly residential — this is the light industrial and retail heart of the Northern Beaches, with Warringah Mall and the trade estates. Work here is three-phase supply, distribution boards, warehouse and shop lighting, and jobs that have to be done around a business staying open rather than shutting it down.

Do I need to be home, and how long does it take?

Somebody needs to let us in, and the power is off for part of the day — usually two to four hours for a straightforward replacement. We tell you the window before the day rather than on it.

Will I get a compliance certificate?

Yes. Every job gets a certificate of compliance, and the board is left labelled so the next person can see what feeds what. NSW contractor licence 270174C, and a 25 year workmanship guarantee.

Can you do it while I get an EV charger installed?

That is the cheapest way to do both. The board is already open, the visit is already happening, and a charger needs its own protected circuit anyway. See EV charger installation in Brookvale.
