How Proelec Group approaches the job
Each electrical job is planned around safety, supply condition, access, outage timing, existing switchboard or metering constraints and the finish needed by the property owner, builder or next trade. The aim is clear, compliant work that avoids avoidable rework.
- Inspect the switchboard, circuits and symptoms such as tripping, heat marks or missing safety protection.
- Explain the upgrade or repair path and any Level 2 or metering requirements.
- Complete the switchboard work, test the circuits and leave clear information for future maintenance.
What to prepare before booking
A short brief is usually enough to scope the next step. Helpful details include the suburb, photos of the meter or switchboard, any defect notice, access constraints, timing requirements and whether builders, tenants or other trades are involved.
- Send photos of the switchboard, meter, service line, private pole or affected electrical area if safe to do so.
- Share plans, defect notices, builder requirements or solar and battery documents if available.
- Confirm whether the work is urgent, whether power is currently off and whether a planned outage is acceptable.
Common questions
Proelec Group can advise on the safest and most practical next step once the current supply, site access and electrical symptoms are clear.
- When should a switchboard be upgraded? Upgrade when protection is outdated, capacity is limited, safety switches are missing or new electrical loads are being added.
- Can a switchboard repair fix tripping? Sometimes. Tripping can come from a circuit fault, appliance fault, moisture issue or overloaded board.
- Will power be off during the work? Usually yes for part of the job, and Proelec Group will plan the outage window.
