Q: Are there any government rebates available for switchboard upgrades?

Yes, in Australia, there are various energy efficiency programs and rebates that may apply to switchboard upgrades, especially for installations that improve energy efficiency or safety. We recommend checking with your local government or energy provider for specific programs available in your area. Our team at Hilts can also assist you in navigating these options.

Q: What is a safety switch, and why do I need one?

A safety switch, also known as a residual current device (RCD), is designed to prevent electric shock by cutting off the electricity supply if it detects an imbalance in the electrical current. Installing a safety switch is crucial for protecting your family and property from electrical hazards. It is now a standard requirement in new homes and for many renovations.

Q: How long does a switchboard upgrade typically take?

The duration of a switchboard upgrade can vary based on the complexity of the work. Typically, a straightforward upgrade may take anywhere from a few hours to a full day. Our licensed electricians will assess your specific situation and provide you with an estimated timeline before commencing any work.

Q: Do you provide a warranty for your switchboard upgrades?

Yes, at Hilts, we stand behind our work and offer a warranty on all switchboard upgrades. This includes coverage for workmanship and the materials used. The specific terms and duration of the warranty will be discussed with you prior to the installation.

Q: Can I pay for the switchboard upgrade in installments?

We understand that a switchboard upgrade can be a significant investment. At Hilts, we offer flexible payment options, including the possibility of installment payments. Please contact us to discuss your financial needs and we can tailor a payment plan that works for you.

Q: What should I do if my switchboard is showing signs of wear or damage?

If you notice signs of wear, such as burnt marks, tripped breakers, or buzzing sounds coming from your switchboard, it’s essential to take action immediately. These can indicate serious electrical issues that may pose safety risks. Contact Hilts right away, and our qualified electricians will assess and provide the necessary upgrades or repairs.

Q: Is it necessary to upgrade to a 3-phase system?

Upgrading to a 3-phase system is beneficial for properties that require higher electrical loads, such as larger homes or commercial spaces with heavy machinery. It provides more consistent power, reduces the risk of overloads, and can be more efficient for high-demand applications. If you're considering this upgrade, our team at Hilts can evaluate your needs and advise you on the best solution.
