Recently I had a circuit rewired at my premises by the Electrical Doctors. The work was carried out efficiently by the two electricians and in a timely manner.

Do I need a switchboard upgrade?

If you still have ceramic fuses, no safety switches, or the board trips when you add something new, it's time to talk about an upgrade.

How much does a switchboard upgrade cost?

It depends on the board and the house. We come out, look at it and give you a free onsite quote before any work starts.

Why does my safety switch keep tripping?

Usually a faulty appliance, water in an outdoor fitting or a fault in the wiring. If it still trips with everything unplugged, the fault is in the wiring: call.

Do you replace smoke alarms?

Yes. We replace and test smoke alarms.

Are you an electrician near me in Newcastle?

Yes. We work across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, from Raymond Terrace to Belmont.
