01 / Overview
Switchboard Upgrade done properly, the first time.
Many Southern Highlands homes still run boards with ceramic fuses, no safety switches or sub-standard wiring from decades ago. Stewart Electrical Group upgrades these to modern circuit breakers and RCDs, bringing the property up to current Australian standards and dramatically improving safety.
We're an established Sydney electrical company now servicing the Highlands. The job is usually completed in a single day with planned power-off windows, and includes board replacement, new RCDs across every circuit, surge protection where required, full circuit testing and certification on completion.
For heritage Bowral, Berrima and Burradoo properties we plan placement carefully so the new board sits sympathetically in the space, often relocated to a more sensible position behind a meter cupboard door.

04 / Frequently Asked Questions
Switchboard Upgrade Southern Highlands questions, answered.
Why upgrade my switchboard?
+
Older boards with ceramic fuses and no safety switches don't trip fast enough to prevent electrocution or fire from a fault. Modern circuit breakers and RCDs trip in milliseconds, protecting people and the property.
How do I get pricing for a switchboard upgrade?
+
Every board is different, size, circuit count, cable condition and whether Level 2 mains work is involved all change the number. The best way to get accurate pricing is to call Darcy on 0485 028 256 and we'll arrange a short site visit and a written quote.
Do I need to be home for the upgrade?
+
Yes, ideally. We coordinate the power-off window with you and keep the disruption to a minimum. For tenanted properties we work with the property manager.
Will it interfere with my heritage home?
+
We plan placement carefully and often relocate the board to a sympathetic location, behind a meter cupboard door for example, so the period interior is preserved.
Do you handle Endeavour Energy coordination?
+
Yes. Where the upgrade requires meter changes or service mains work, Stewart coordinates an accredited Level 2 partner for the network-side scope.
