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 Ceramic fuses are outdated and unsafe by today’s standards.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.

Strathfield Switchboard Upgrades FAQs
How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
A typical home upgrade takes 4 to 6 hours, with the power off for part of the day. Larger homes, commercial boards and properties with sub-boards can take longer.
How much is a switchboard upgrade in Strathfield?
Most residential switchboard upgrades in Strathfield cost between about $1,200 and $2,500, depending on the number of circuits, three-phase supply, meter panel work and any asbestos handling. We give a fixed quote after an inspection. These are typical Sydney industry figures only. Costs can vary depending on your property and requirements, and your exact price is confirmed in writing after a free inspection.
Do I need a switchboard upgrade for solar or an EV charger?
Often, yes. Solar inverters, batteries and EV chargers need spare capacity and RCD protection. Older boards without room for extra breakers usually need upgrading first.
