Switchboard upgrade cost Sydney
A switchboard upgrade is one of the most common electrical jobs in older Sydney homes. Most cost between $1,200 and $3,000.
Signs your switchboard needs replacing
Ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, no safety switches, lights that flicker when appliances turn on, or a board with asbestos backing are all signs it is time.
Adding air conditioning, solar, a battery or an EV charger often requires a bigger, modern board.
Typical costs
Prices depend on the number of circuits, whether asbestos is present and whether the meter needs moving.
| Add safety switches to existing board | $250 – $600 |
| Standard switchboard replacement | $1,200 – $2,000 |
| Large board or asbestos removal | $2,000 – $3,500 |
