Interactive check

Switchboard readiness check.

A quick, non-invasive checklist for common red flags. Do not open covers or touch exposed electrical parts.

Checklist

Tick what you can see safely.

Ceramic fuses or very old fuse carriers are present. There are no clearly labelled safety switches/RCDs. Circuits trip when multiple appliances run. You are planning EV charging, induction, solar or new air conditioning. Heat, buzzing, burning smell or visible damage is present.

Useful photos

What to upload with the quote.

Take clear photos of the full switchboard, the main switch area, labels, meter box location, and the appliance or circuit causing issues. Stand back enough that the electrician can see the layout.
