Sharlene, the owner, is incredible and easy to deal with. If there was an option for 10 stars, I would have given Iridium 10+ stars.

Our Electricians Are Trusted By

An outdated switchboard is more than an inconvenience. It is a safety risk. If your home or business needs an electrical switchboard upgrade, Iridium EC delivers expert, code-compliant upgrades across Gippsland, including Traralgon, Heyfield, Glengarry and Boolarra.

Whether you’re renovating, adding new appliances, or dealing with regular power trips, our licensed electricians ensure your board is safe, future-ready, and backed by a lifetime workmanship guarantee. Every upgrade includes a free safety inspection, giving you peace of mind from the moment we arrive.

Is Your Switchboard Putting Your Property at Risk?

Switchboards are the heart of your electrical system, but many older homes in Gippsland still rely on outdated fuse boxes that weren’t built to support today’s electrical loads. From modern appliances to heating systems and lighting upgrades, your board needs to keep up with your household or business demands.

Here’s why an upgrade is often essential:

Older boards lack mandatory safety switches
Fuse-based boards increase the risk of electric shocks and fires
Modern homes require greater capacity for appliances like induction cooktops and EV chargers
Frequent tripping is a sign your board is struggling under load
Non-compliant boards may void insurance or stall renovation permits
Upgrades are required to support services like rangehood installation and air conditioning fit-outs

If your board hasn’t been checked in over a decade, now’s the time.

Common Signs Your Switchboard Is Outdated

It’s not always obvious when your switchboard is due for an upgrade, but there are common indicators that your system isn’t coping. Our electricians often see these issues in older homes and rural properties around Traralgon and neighbouring areas.

Watch for:

Breakers that trip when multiple appliances are used
Lights dimming or flickering when high-draw items turn on
Lack of RCD safety switches (a legal requirement for most homes)
Buzzing, overheating, or discoloured areas on or near the switchboard
Use of ceramic fuses or wooden panels
Frequent reliance on power boards or extension leads
Renovations, new builds or appliance upgrades (for example adding a bathroom heat lamp or induction cooktop)

These are not just annoyances. They are signs your system may be unsafe or non-compliant.

What’s Involved in a Professional Switchboard Upgrade?

A safe and compliant electrical switchboard upgrade requires more than swapping out components. A full switchboard replacement means removing the old board, installing new protective devices and testing the result, all to current regulations and suited to your power demands, with clear communication and no shortcuts.

Here’s how we approach each job:

Start with a thorough inspection of your current setup and overall load
Isolate power and remove the existing board safely
Install new RCD safety switches and circuit breakers
Label all circuits clearly for future convenience and inspections
Add surge protection if needed
Test the system thoroughly and issue compliance documentation
