Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system. If it’s outdated, overloaded, or running on old ceramic fuses, it could put your family and property at risk. At Silver Fern Electrical (SFE), we provide expert switchboard upgrades in Wellington to keep your home safe, efficient, and compliant with New Zealand standards.
Many Wellington homes were built decades ago, and their switchboards are no longer suited to today’s electrical demands.
Signs you may need an upgrade:
Frequent power trips or blown fuses
Flickering lights or buzzing sounds from outlets
Old fuse-style switchboards instead of modern safety switches
Adding high-demand appliances (heat pumps, EV chargers, solar panels)
👉 If you notice any of these, it’s time to call our electricians.
