Why Upgrade Your Switchboard In Whakatāne?
Older switchboards weren’t built for today’s power demands.
New appliances, heat pumps, and even solar or EV charging systems can overload outdated fuse boxes.
This raises the risk of electrical faults and fire hazards.
Upgrading to a modern switchboard offers:
- Better safety with RCDs and circuit breakers
- More capacity for added appliances or future upgrades
- Compatibility with solar and EV chargers
- Peace of mind that your setup meets current standards
If you’re noticing flickering lights, frequent tripping, or have a ceramic fuse box, it’s time to consider a Whakatāne fuse box upgrade.
