Our Process

What an Upgrade Day Looks Like

One day, most of the time, with the power down for only part of it.

Out With the Old Board

Supply off, old board and any asbestos panel out, new enclosure in with breakers and RCD or RCBO safety switches wired to standard.

Test, Label, Certify

Every circuit reconnected and labelled, trip times checked with a calibrated tester, power back on, certificate in your hand.

Why Perth Homes Trust Refined Power With the Switchboard

This is the one job where a cut-price quote usually means missing RCDs or an asbestos panel nobody priced. We do not work that way. Licence EC15880, locally owned, more than 19 years between us across Perth and the Wheatbelt, and every board wired to AS/NZS 3000 with the paperwork to back it.

Licensed, insured, certificate every time

Often one visit, power down only briefly

Fixed price agreed first, nothing hidden

Switchboard Upgrade Questions From Perth Homeowners

Do I legally need safety switches to sell or rent my home in WA?

Yes. WA law calls for at least two RCDs on the board, covering all power and lighting circuits, before you can sell or lease. Most old fuse boards have no room to fit them, which is why a full upgrade is usually the answer.

How do I know if my board needs upgrading?

Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, constant tripping, a burning smell or scorch marks, buzzing, or a board past 25 to 30 years old are the usual tells. Adding solar, an EV charger or ducted aircon is another.

Do I need to upgrade before solar or an EV charger?

Usually. Both need a compliant board with spare capacity, and the connection will not be signed off without it. Sorting the board first saves surprises on install day, and we can often do the pair together.

Not Sure If Your Board Needs Doing? We Will Tell You Straight

Send a photo of your switchboard or just your address, and you will get an honest read on whether it needs upgrading, what compliance takes, and a fixed price to get there. No pressure, no call-out fee to talk it through.
