Your switchboard is the heart of your home’s electrical system—and when it’s outdated or overloaded, it can quickly become a safety risk. NearMe Electrical & Air provides reliable switchboard upgrades and repairs to keep your home compliant, protected and ready for the demands of modern living.
A modern switchboard doesn’t just improve performance—it reduces fire hazards, prevents overloads and ensures your family is protected by today’s electrical safety standards.

Essential Features of a Safe, Updated Switchboard
A compliant switchboard should include:
-
Main switch: protects your system from excessive current

Safety switches (RCDs): shuts off power instantly if an electrical fault is detected
-
Circuit breakers: prevents overloading and overheating
-
RCBOs: combined overload and safety switch protection (required for all subcircuits in Victoria)
