Safety first
Modern switchboards for Whakatāne homes
Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system. Older boards with rewireable ceramic fuses offer no protection against electric shock — and in Whakatāne, coastal salt air corrodes old boards and connections faster. Upgrading to an RCD-protected board is one of the best safety investments you can make.
Signs you need an upgrade
- Ceramic or rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
- No RCD (safety switch) protection on your circuits
- Frequent tripping or fuses that keep blowing
- Corrosion, discolouration or a salt smell at the board
- A full board with no room to add circuits for a heat pump or EV charger
What an upgrade involves
We replace the old board with a modern enclosure fitted with circuit breakers and RCDs, test every circuit, and leave it clearly labelled. Most upgrades are completed in a day with minimal disruption, and we’ll let you know in advance about the short power-off period.
Future-proofed
A new board gives you spare capacity for the things people add later — heat pumps, EV chargers, solar. We size it with a bit of headroom so you’re ready.
