Switchboards. Done Live. Safe. Compliant. Built to spark for a decade.
From outdated ceramic fuse boxes to overloaded boards bending under modern demand — ACS Electrical's licensed Perth team replaces, certifies and future-proofs the heart of your property's power.
Built for last century's power demands.
Today's homes run inverter ACs, induction cooktops, EV chargers, solar systems and a small army of always-on electronics. The boards installed in the '70s, '80s and '90s weren't.
An undersized or ageing switchboard isn't just an inconvenience — it's the single biggest electrical fire risk in your property. ACS Electrical replaces, recertifies and future-proofs it in a single day, with full compliance documentation to back it.
If you've noticed any of these, book today.
Frequent
power trips
Circuit breakers tripping more than once a month usually means a board that's overloaded, ageing or undersized for current loads.
Flickering lights
Lights that dim when the kettle, oven or AC kicks in point to bad load balancing or worn connections inside the board.
Ceramic fuses
Pre-date modern safety standards. They don't protect against earth leakage.
Burning smell or heat
A warm cover, a faint burning smell, or buzzing from the board are urgent. Don't open it — call an electrician the same day.
Renovating
New circuits for an extension, kitchen, or granny flat almost always trigger the need for extra capacity and modern protection.
Asbestos boards
Common in Perth homes built before 1985. Professional removal and safe replacement — not a DIY job, ever.
Five jobs your old board can't do.
Trips faults in milliseconds
Modern RCDs detect earth leakage in 30ms — fast enough to stop a fatal shock. Old fuses simply can't compete.
Handles modern loads
Designed for inverter ACs, induction cooktops, hot water heat pumps and the always-on electronics in every modern home.
Compliant with AS/NZS 3000
Every upgrade meets the current Australian Wiring Rules, with full certification you can hand to insurers and conveyancers.
Solar, battery & EV ready
Pre-wired for future inverters and chargers — so when you add solar or a Tesla, it's a half-day job, not a redesign.
Clearly labelled circuits
No more guessing which switch controls the laundry. Every circuit individually labelled, mapped and handed over with documentation.
Built to AS/NZS 3000 — the Aussie wiring rules.
Every switchboard we install conforms to the current edition of AS/NZS 3000 — the national standard for electrical installations in homes, businesses and industrial properties. Compliance isn't a tick-box for us; it's how we sleep at night.
You'll receive a full Certificate of Electrical Compliance, lodged with EnergySafety WA, plus our internal handover pack: circuit map, component list, warranty register and photographs of every termination.
