How much does it cost to upgrade a switchboard in Melbourne?

Switchboard upgrade costs vary depending on the size of your home, the condition of existing wiring, and whether asbestos backing needs removal. As a rough guide, a standard domestic switchboard upgrade in Melbourne typically ranges from $1,200 to $3,500. We provide a fixed-price quote after inspecting your board — no surprises.

Do I legally need a licensed electrician in Victoria?

Yes. In Victoria it is illegal to carry out your own electrical work, including replacing power points or light fittings. All electrical work must be done by a licensed electrician who provides a Certificate of Electrical Safety. DIY electrical work also voids your home insurance.

Do you offer emergency electrical call-outs?

Yes. Litmec Electrical offers emergency electrical call-outs across Melbourne for issues like power outages, burning smells, tripping safety switches and electrical faults. Call 0418 583 097.

What areas of Melbourne do you service?

Litmec Electrical services Greater Melbourne metro-wide, from our base in Newport. This includes the inner west, northern, eastern and south-eastern suburbs. If you're in metropolitan Melbourne, we can help.

How often should a switchboard or safety switch be tested?

Safety switches (RCDs) should be tested every three months by pressing the test button. We recommend a full electrical safety inspection every few years, and before buying or selling a property, to catch faults before they become hazards.
