Whether you’re renovating, adding new appliances, or just want peace of mind, we make sure your power system is safe, compliant, and built for the future.

Why Switchboard Upgrades Matter

Old fuse boxes and outdated wiring aren’t designed for modern electrical demands. If your switchboard still uses ceramic fuses or trips frequently, it’s time to upgrade to a safer, more reliable system.

Signs You Need a Switchboard Upgrade

  • Fuses keep blowing or breakers trip regularly
  • You notice flickering lights or power surges
  • Burnt smells or buzzing noises near the switchboard
  • Ceramic fuses or no RCD/safety switch protection
  • Adding new high-demand appliances (EV charger, A/C, induction cooktop)

Don’t ignore the warning signs — a simple upgrade today can prevent costly electrical fires tomorrow.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?

Most residential upgrades take around 3–5 hours depending on complexity. Commercial installations may take longer due to larger circuits or load balancing requirements.

Do I need an upgrade if I still have ceramic fuses?

Yes. Ceramic fuses are outdated and unsafe by today’s standards. Upgrading ensures proper RCD protection and helps prevent electrical fires.

Can you install surge protection at the same time?

Absolutely. Surge protection is often installed as part of a switchboard upgrade to protect your property from power surges and lightning strikes.

Are your upgrades certified?

Yes — every FMZ Electrical upgrade includes testing, compliance certification, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety upon completion.
