Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system — but is it keeping up with your lifestyle?

At EMCAL Electrical, we help families across Baldivis, Rockingham, and Perth stay safe by upgrading outdated, overloaded switchboards. Here are four signs it might be time to take a closer look at yours.

1️⃣ Your Fuses Keep Tripping

If you’re constantly resetting fuses or circuit breakers, your system might be struggling to cope with modern power usage.

• Common triggers: air conditioners, induction cooktops, EV chargers.

• A new switchboard manages load safely and efficiently

  
  

2️⃣ You Notice Burning Smells or Heat

Smell something odd near your switchboard? Spotting melted plastic or discolouration? These can be signs of:

• Overheating

• Loose connections

• Risk of electrical fire

3️⃣ Your Home Is Over 20 Years Old

Haven’t updated your switchboard since the early 2000s? You may not meet current safety standards — especially if:

• You’re renting your home out

• You’re planning to sell

• You want to lower insurance risks

  
  

4️⃣ You’re Installing New Appliances

Adding a spa? New oven? EV charger?

• These modern upgrades often need more power capacity than your old board can provide. We future-proof your switchboard to handle it all.
