Your switchboard is the unsung hero of your home’s electrical system, quietly managing power flow like a traffic controller at a busy intersection. But when it starts sending signals—flickering lights, frequent trips, buzzing sounds, or warm panels—it’s whispering (or shouting) for attention. Ignore these clues, and you risk outages, inefficiency, or worse, safety hazards.

Flickering lights often mean your outdated switchboard can’t handle modern loads from appliances like air conditioners or chargers. Frequent circuit trips signal overloads or faulty wiring, straining the system and potentially causing fires. Buzzing or warmth? That’s a red flag for loose connections or wear, especially in older Canberra homes built before updated safety standards.

At Record Electrical, we’ve upgraded countless switchboards, transforming unreliable setups into safe, efficient hubs. Our licensed team spots issues early, installs modern boards with better capacity, and backs it with a lifetime labour warranty. Customers rave about our cheerful, efficient service—James and his crew even watch out for the pets!
