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 Ceramic fuses are outdated and unsafe by today’s standards.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

Thornleigh Switchboard Upgrades FAQs
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.
Will I get a compliance certificate?
Yes. Every switchboard upgrade in Thornleigh is tested and certified, and you receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) as required in NSW.
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.
