Whether you’re experiencing constant circuit breaker trips in your Southbank apartment or concerned about the ageing ceramic fuse box in your Carlton terrace house, your property’s electrical system may be struggling to meet modern demands. At Day & Night Electrical, we specialise in switchboard upgrades Melbourne properties need to make sure that safety, reliability, and future-ready electrical capacity are achieved.
As Melbourne’s population grows, the strain on both new and ageing electrical infrastructure continues to increase.

Your switchboard is the heart of your property’s electrical system, distributing power safely throughout your home or apartment. However, many Melbourne properties still rely on outdated electrical panels that weren’t designed for the current power demands.

How long does a switchboard upgrade take?
Most residential switchboard upgrades are completed within 4-6 hours. However, heritage properties or complex apartment installations may require additional time for careful work around building constraints.
Do I need Body Corporate approval for my apartment switchboard upgrade?
If your upgrade affects shared electrical infrastructure, Body Corporate approval is required. We handle the complete approval process, making sure that all documentation meets strata requirements.
Will I be without power during the upgrade?
Yes, power must be disconnected during installation for safety. We schedule work at convenient times and work efficiently to minimise downtime.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
Important findings include ceramic fuses, frequent power trips, insufficient power points, or inability to support modern appliances. Our free assessment can determine your specific needs.
What safety features are included in a modern switchboard?
Modern switchboards include RCD/RCBO protection on all circuits, surge protection, and proper circuit isolation, significantly improving electrical safety.
Can my old switchboard handle solar panels or EV charging?
Most older switchboards lack the capacity for these modern additions. An upgrade makes sure that your electrical system can support sustainable technology and electric vehicle charging.
