Professional switchboard upgrades for homes across Ferntree Gully and Melbourne's eastern suburbs. Bring your home's electrical system up to current standards safely and with minimal disruption.
Rated 5/5 based on 20 reviews.
An Outdated Switchboard Is More Than an Inconvenience.
Many homes in Ferntree Gully still have older switchboards that were not designed to handle today's electrical loads.
Ceramic fuses, limited circuit breakers and no safety switches are common in older boards, and they can create real problems as households add appliances, EV chargers or solar systems. We often see:
- - Circuits tripping regularly under normal household load
- - Old ceramic fuse boards with no safety switches
- - No spare capacity for new circuits or high-draw appliances
- - Boards that fail inspection when selling or renovating
Leaving an outdated switchboard in place can create safety risks and limit what you can do with your home electrically.

Jessie from Class Above Electrical did a bunch of electric cabling work at my house, including replacing an old switchboard with a new one. He is friendly, professional, and his work completed is always at a high standard. I would definitely recommend Class Above Electrical as a great choice of electrician.

Couldn't be happier with the experience. From the first point of contact, communication was clear, friendly, and professional. They arrived on time, explained everything in a way that was easy to understand, and made sure we were comfortable with the plan before starting.
