What this job looks like in Camden.

Camden has a high proportion of pre-1980s housing, and with it a high proportion of boards that were never designed for how the houses are used now. Ceramic fuses, one safety switch if any, and circuits added over decades without labelling.

Those boards also tend to hide the real issue: old rubber or cotton-insulated wiring behind them. We test the existing circuits before quoting, because replacing the board on top of failing wiring solves nothing and can cause nuisance tripping the owner then blames on the new board.

On rural Camden properties there's usually a second job too — a shed or pump sub-board fed by mains that were sized decades ago.

What it costs

Camden switchboard upgrades commonly run $1,800–$3,500, with older properties higher where circuits fail insulation testing or the board needs relocating. Any additional wiring work is quoted separately, never absorbed silently.

What's included

Insulation testing first

Existing circuits tested before we quote, so you know whether the board alone is the problem.

Full board replacement

Ceramic and rewireable boards replaced with modern enclosures, RCBO protection and proper labelling.

Heritage-sensitive installation

Tidy work on older Camden homes, including relocating a board where the original position is no longer compliant.

Shed and sub-board work

Rural sub-boards and sub-mains upgraded alongside the main board where the run no longer carries the load.

Camden — common questions

Will a new switchboard fix my Camden home's tripping problem?

Sometimes, but not always. Constant tripping in older Camden homes often comes from degraded wiring insulation, not the board. We test the circuits first and tell you which it is before you spend anything.

Do you work on heritage properties?

Yes. We work carefully on older Camden homes and can relocate a board where the original position no longer meets current requirements, keeping the install as unobtrusive as possible.

Can you upgrade the shed board at the same time?

Yes, and on rural Camden properties it's usually sensible — doing both at once avoids a second visit and a second set of isolation and testing.
