Experience the Makgrid Difference: Safe, Seamless, and Smart Switchboard Solutions

A flicker here. A trip there. Burning smells or buzzing panels. These are not just annoyances—they're red flags from your current switchboard telling you something’s wrong. We assist homeowners and businesses in Sydney in replacing their aging systems with modern switchboards that meet today's demands.

Your electrical wiring, appliances, and fixtures depend on your main switchboard to deliver consistent, safe electrical current. We carry out detailed inspections, assess your existing circuits, and perform electrical tests to determine the right solution for your home or business. Our team is trained to work with all systems—from residential switchboards to three-phase switchboards for larger operations.

If your property still relies on ceramic fuses or an old fuse box, it’s time for a switchboard upgrade. These outdated setups pose a significant risk of electrical fires, electric shocks, and costly electrical faults. We replace them with new units that include safety switches, circuit breakers, and low-voltage switchgear designed to protect every circuit.

Plus, with today’s homes using more appliances—from air conditioning to pool pumps and hot water systems—your existing system wasn’t built for it. A new electrical switchboard ensures your power supply stays stable and safe. Our licensed electricians ensure that your installation meets all safety requirements and relevant standards, providing you with peace of mind for years to come.

Call our Sydney team today for a detailed assessment and 10% OFF your switchboard upgrade—because safety starts at the switchboard.

What Is a Switchboard and Why Does It Matter for Your Home or Business?

Your electrical switchboard is the command centre of your entire electrical system. It’s where incoming power from the energy provider is distributed across various electrical circuits in your home or commercial space, controlling everything from lighting and appliances to pool pumps and heavy machinery.

A well-installed switchboard ensures safe and reliable power distribution. It uses circuit breakers, safety switches, and the main switch to protect you from overloads, electrical faults, and the risk of electrical fires. It also helps safeguard your family, tenants, and assets from power surges, short circuits, and electric shocks.

If your current switchboard features ceramic fuses, doesn’t include residual current devices, or shows signs of wear like discolouration, buzzing sounds, or frequent tripping, it could pose a serious hazard. These are clear signals that your existing switchboard is no longer compliant with safety standards and must be replaced.

Old switchboards weren’t designed for today’s power needs—between air conditioning, home office setups, and modern electrical appliances, your main power supply may now be overloaded without you even knowing it.

Signs You Need an Electrical Switchboard Upgrade Before It’s Too Late

When your electrical circuits keep tripping or your lights flicker every time the microwave runs, it’s more than just an annoyance—it’s a warning sign. Common indicators of a failing or outdated switchboard include:

• Frequent circuit trips or flickering lights under normal power usage
• Overheating, burnt smells, or buzzing near your fuse box
• Ongoing issues with hot water systems, air conditioning, or pool pumps
• The use of old ceramic fuses and no safety switch or RCD protection
• Electric shocks from appliances or power supply interruptions

Ignoring these warning signs may lead to serious safety risks, including electrical fires, property damage, or injury. If your switchboard doesn’t include modern safety devices, it may not isolate electrical current during a fault, leaving your home vulnerable.

Upgrading your switchboard allows us to balance your electrical load, protect electrical equipment, and install low-voltage switchgear suited to your property’s unique requirements. We also ensure full compliance with today’s strict regulations. The switchboard upgrade cost may vary depending on the complexity of your system, but it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind, reduced downtime, and enhanced safety.

Don’t overlook your consumer mains—secure a certified switchboard installation with Sydney’s trusted experts.

Ceramic Fuses vs Circuit Breakers:

What You Need to Know

Still using ceramic fuses in your fuse box? It might be time for a serious upgrade. While once standard, ceramic fuses lack the responsiveness and safety features of today’s modern switchboards. Circuit breakers trip instantly during overloads or short circuits, preventing damage to electrical systems, appliances, and your home’s electrical system. They’re also easier to reset—no more fiddling with fuse wire in the dark.



Upgrading to a new switchboard with integrated safety switches and modern circuit breakers is not just about convenience—it’s about protecting your family from electric shock, electrical fires, and costly damage. We specialise in switchboard replacement and installation, providing only compliant, tested, and future-ready electrical switchboards tailored to your needs.

Compliance, Safety & Certificates You Can Count On

When it comes to a switchboard upgrade, it’s not just about better performance—it’s about meeting strict Australian standards. At Makgrid, we ensure every installation complies with AS/NZS 3000 electrical safety regulations.

We issue a full switchboard compliance certificate upon completion of your job, confirming your system is safe, compliant, and legally sound. This certificate isn’t just paperwork—it’s peace of mind for your home or business. Our work is carried out by a licensed electrician (NSW Lic #347619C) and backed by comprehensive insurance. We take your safety seriously, and our documentation reflects this commitment.

Every new system we install is tested for faults, grounding integrity, safe operation of the main switch, and reliable protection across all equipment and circuits. Whether it's replacing an old fuse box, installing a new switchboard, or upgrading your consumer mains, our qualified team makes sure every detail is covered.
