 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. today, I had a 2.0kW air conditioner installed. All the staff were very friendly, and the price consultation was also excellent. I am very satisfied with the result. Another advantage was the quick installation schedule. I paid the deposit, and within three days, the installation was completed.

Start from the beginning they were quick and supportive. Very affordable prices and reliable products. Work is neat and tidy. Very polite and friendly 😊. Even he agreed to find me a remote control for my other aircon which he didn't install.  I highly recommend this guys for any aircon work.  Well done 👏.

The workmen were very courtious and respectful in their ap0proach to the job in hand. They tidied the space up so you would not notice ant work had been done.

Have you ever thought about upgrading your current electrical switchboard to a brand new one? Definitely yes! That’s why you came here. Sit tight and learn more about switchboard upgrades and factors that affecting to the electrical switchboard upgrading cost.

Already Thought Of Upgrading My Old Electrical Switchboard, But Why Should I Upgrade ?

Over the years of our experience in the electrical services industry in Brisbane, this is one of the most commonly asked questions by CoolWind customers. Here are the top reasons for that.

Household safety

We are all aware that electricity is not something to be messed with. As a result, we must give careful consideration to the protection of your household and belongings. Even after you have upgraded the switch board, it is important to have the system checked on a regular basis by a qualified electrician.

Electricity is unstable

Not every time, but sometimes, we experience electricity overloads in systems. Modern electrical switchboards are more adequately intended to handle the electrical overloads that happen, reducing the likelihood that your system may overload and break.

Updated country regulations

Old-school fuses and circuit breakers that are more than a decade old are responsible for many domestic electrical fires. In recent years, the Australian government has updated some of the regulations to be in compliance with current electricity circumstances.

Modern appliances

Smart meters, solar panels, and much more modern electrical appliances require modern switch boards to operate effectively and properly. Not only that, of course, those appliances are much expensive. In case of any electrical damage with an old switch board, repairs may be costly.

Risks Of Using An Outdated Electrical Switchboard In Your Households

Hot spots in the electric circuit.
Fire hazards and cable frying up.
Electric leakages.
Electrical arcing.
Short-circuiting.
Only protect the integrity of the cables. Not the entire system protection.

Factors To Consider In Order To Make An Electrical Switchboard Upgrade

Age of your home - If your home is over 15+ years old, it is the best time to ask for an expert electrician to advise and install a new switchboard.
Ceramic/ rewireable fuses - If your switch board is equipped with ceramic rewireable fuses rather than circuit breakers, you should consider upgrading your switchboard as soon as possible. Rewireable fuses are made of copper wire and pose a significant safety threat.
Colour of the wiring - To determine if you need an upgrade, look at the colour of your wiring; if it's white, you may be able to wait until they transform into grey or black before making the decision to make the upgrade.
Lighting issues - A defective switchboard wiring or a loose bulb are the most likely causes of a light flickering frequently.
Noises - The electricity systems are not meant to produce any noise, therefore if you hear any kind of noise, this may be an indication of checking and upgrading your switch board to a new one.

Main Factors Affecting The Electrical Switchboard Upgrade Cost

Type of the switch board.
The size of switch board.
Current capacity.
Amount of cabling required.
Labour costs.
RCD protection. (If use)
Whether it requires any rewiring.
Supply type (2 phase, 3 phase, etc)

Benefits Of Upgrading Your Old Switchboard To A New One

Taking care of faulty circuits.
Create extra room to allow improvement in the future.
Reducing the risk of fire hazards.
Preserve money to avoid future expenses due to potential risks.
Ensure that all circuits are accurately labelled for older setups.
Electrical safety has been improved with the addition of RCD protection as well as properly rated circuit breakers for overload and short circuit protection.
Modern switch boards will actually trip a circuit in the event of a short, protecting from receiving the full force of the electrical shock.
