Kiama is full of character homes, coastal properties and holiday houses, and many of them carry switchboards that are well past their prime. Older boards with ceramic fuses and no safety switches are a concern anywhere, but in a coastal setting where salt air accelerates wear, keeping your electrical system safe and up to standard matters even more. IllaVolt Electrical upgrades switchboards across the Kiama area, helping owners protect their homes (and their tenants and guests).
Switchboards, coastal homes and holiday houses
Whether it’s a permanent home, a weekender or a holiday rental, an outdated switchboard puts people at risk and can’t always handle modern demand. We replace fuses with circuit breakers, add safety switches (RCDs) for shock protection, and make sure the board suits how the property is used, including rentals that need to be safe and compliant for guests.
Signs your Kiama switchboard is due for an upgrade
- Ceramic or rewireable fuses instead of circuit breakers
- No safety switches protecting the circuits
- Frequent tripping, a warm or buzzing board, or corrosion and scorching
- Adding air con, a pool, solar or an EV charger
What it costs in the Kiama area
