Why older switchboards get replaced
Older boards with rewireable fuses and no safety switches are the most common reason we’re called in for an upgrade.

Almost entirely houses
More than eight in ten occupied dwellings in Fawkner are separate houses, and flats are almost non-existent (ABS 2021).
For houses, the most common electrical work is switchboard and safety switch upgrades, extra circuits for appliances and air conditioning, and lighting upgrades.

Common questions
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Common signs are old rewireable fuses, no safety switches (RCDs), circuits that trip often, or no room for new circuits. We inspect the board and quote the upgrade.
Do you install safety switches (RCDs)?
Yes. We fit safety switches to power and lighting circuits, usually as part of a switchboard upgrade, and test them on completion.
Something keeps tripping. Can you find the fault?
Yes. We test the circuits to find what’s causing the trip, whether it’s an appliance, a damaged fitting or wiring, and quote the repair.
Can you add circuits for air conditioning?
Yes. We run dedicated circuits and isolators for air conditioning. Task Trades also installs split system and ducted air conditioning.
