Why Upgrade Your Switchboard?

Why RCBOs (Not Basic RCDs)?

Most electricians install basic RCD switchboards with 2-4 shared safety switches protecting multiple circuits. Problem? One faulty appliance trips the whole house. Nightmare trying to find what caused it.

Amped Up installs Hager RCBO switchboards as standard. Every circuit gets its own Hager RCBO (combined safety switch + circuit breaker). Fault on the fridge circuit? Only the fridge trips. Everything else stays on.

The Difference:
  • Basic RCD: 2-4 shared safety switches. One fault = half the house trips. Cheaper but frustrating.
  • RCBO (what we install): Individual protection per circuit. Fault isolation, easier troubleshooting, no nuisance tripping. Modern best practice.

Hager RCBOs are a premium upgrade over basic RCDs. You're getting German-engineered components, individual circuit protection, easier fault diagnosis, and no more "which appliance is tripping the house?" guessing games. Worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most residential upgrades completed in 4-6 hours (same day). Power is off for 1-2 hours during the changeover, then restored same day.

Do I need to upgrade my switchboard?

If you have old ceramic fuses or rewireable fuses, YES. These don't provide RCD protection and are not compliant with current standards. If you're renovating, adding solar/EV charger, or selling, upgrade is often required. We install Hager RCBO switchboards as standard (not basic shared RCDs).

Will my power be off all day?

No. Power is off for 1-2 hours during the switchover. Total job time is 4-6 hours, but most of that is wiring/setup with power on. I schedule around your needs (work from home, kids at home, etc.).

Do you warranty your work?

Yes. Workmanship guaranteed, plus manufacturer warranties on all switchboard components. AS/NZS compliance certificate provided.

What areas do you service?

Adelaide metro within 30km of CBD. Includes eastern suburbs (Burnside, Norwood, Unley), southern suburbs (Glenelg, Marion), and northern suburbs (Prospect, North Adelaide).
