Typical scenarios
Homes we do this in every week
Ceramic fuse board

A sub-board or chassis extension can create space instead.
Main switch too small
Load management is often cheaper and faster than a supply upgrade.
FAQs
Switchboard Upgrades questions
How do I know if my board needs upgrading?
Send us a photo — ceramic fuses, no RCDs, or no spare ways are the clearest signs.
How long does an upgrade take?
Most residential upgrades take most of a day, with the power off for part of it.
Can it be done at the same time as the charger?
Yes, and it's usually cheaper to do both in one visit.
