Your Electrical Switchboard Experts
Dean and the team at Direct Point Electrical are specialists in switchboard installations, upgrades, repairs and CT metering. With years of experience servicing Melbourne’s outer east, we ensure every switchboard is built to handle today’s demands, safely and efficiently.
We’ll assess the needs of your home or business and make sure your switchboard delivers the right amount of power to every part of your property, without overload or risk.
Switchboard Installations
If you’re building a new home, choosing the right switchboard from the start can save you from serious issues down the track. A poorly sized or outdated switchboard can cause electrical faults, reduce energy efficiency, and limit your ability to add new appliances.
At Direct Point Electrical, we match your switchboard to:
- The size of your home
- The number of appliances
- Pools, spas or outbuildings
- Future upgrades (solar, EV chargers, smart devices)
Our team handles everything, from design to installation. We’ll also take care of all necessary documentation and submit the required forms to your energy distributor on your behalf.
Switchboard Upgrades
If your lights flicker, power trips regularly, or your switchboard feels warm or smells burnt, it’s time to act. These are common warning signs that your current board is overloaded or faulty.
Other red flags:
- Fuses instead of circuit breakers
- No RCDs (safety switches)
- A board that hasn’t been upgraded in 30+ years
- New appliances triggering overloads
- Plans for home extensions, pools, or extra power tools
Older switchboards were never designed for today’s energy loads. With modern living demanding more from your electrical system, air conditioning, induction cooktops, large screens, home offices, a switchboard upgrade isn’t just smart, it’s essential.
A faulty or outdated switchboard can:
- Increase the risk of fire
- Damage appliances
- Void your insurance policy
- Pose serious safety hazards
We offer free inspections and tailored advice. If an upgrade is needed, our licensed electricians will quote transparently, complete the job to code, and provide a certificate of electrical safety when complete.

If your home was built more than 30 years ago, the wiring and switchboard should be inspected.
Outdated electrical systems have inefficient power distribution, especially when you start adding modern appliances to the load, causing problems and even hazards.
You may be considering building an extension, installing a swimming pool or you may find you are doing more business from home and using additional computer equipment or power tools in the garage.
This is when upgrading to a Three phase switchboard should be considered.
This is something that we can guide you on and we will always give our honest opinion with no pushy sales tactics.
If your current switchboard is on the verge of being overloaded it is a good time to consider your options in regards to an upgrade.
