New switchboard installation and upgrades for builders. Licensed REC 38009.
The switchboard is the heart of your building's electrical system. True Line Electrical provides professional switchboard installation for new builds and upgrades for renovations across Melbourne. We install modern, compliant switchboards with safety switches, circuit breakers, and adequate capacity for today's electrical demands and future expansion.
What is a Switchboard?
A switchboard (also called a distribution board or fuse box) is the central hub that distributes electricity throughout your building. Modern switchboards contain circuit breakers that protect individual circuits, safety switches (RCDs) that protect against electric shock, and the main switch that controls all power to the property. For new builds, we install switchboards sized for your current needs plus future expansion. For renovations, we often upgrade old fuse boxes to modern, compliant switchboards.
