A Smart Power Upgrade in Hoppers Crossing
A homeowner in Hoppers Crossing recently contacted O’Shea Electrical, one of the most trusted Melbourne electricians, to upgrade their home’s power system. Their existing electrical switchboard was running near capacity, and they wanted a safe, efficient solution that could handle future installations and higher power demands.
Identifying the Electrical Challenge
Our qualified electrician in Hoppers Crossing carried out a detailed inspection and quickly identified that the current switchboard wasn’t suitable for adding more circuits or heavy-duty appliances. To solve the issue, we recommended an electrical switchboard upgrade by installing a new 18-pole sub board inside the garage, conveniently positioned beside the outdoor switchboard. This setup provided a dedicated hub for future upgrades without the need for disruptive rewiring later.
Professional Installation and Electrical Safety Upgrades
The process began with the supply and installation of the new sub board, ensuring full compliance with Australian electrical safety standards. Our team drilled precise holes behind the switchboard to neatly route the required cables, protecting them inside durable conduits for a clean, professional finish and long-term safety.
We also installed a new 40-amp main switch for the sub board and ran 10mm cabling from the main switchboard to ensure a stable and reliable power connection. Every wire was carefully secured, clearly labelled, and thoroughly tested to guarantee peak performance and safety.
Future-Ready and Safe Electrical Setup
The result is a future-ready electrical system that gives the homeowner peace of mind knowing their home is safe, compliant, and equipped to handle new electrical installations, whether that means extra lighting, modern appliances, or an EV charger in the future.
